How to get a girl into gaming -- a GAF editor's perspective

[bahn]

It's not some huge myth that cute girls play games, these days. Or that girls period play. And you sure as hell don't need a 12-step program.

Tell that to Bonnie.

Gaming Age sucks, TNL forever.

5 pages?! Here's a short version:

1) FHUTA

3) FHUTAA

Nope. Tetris Attack.

You are correct sir! I made my ex-fiance into a gamer with Tetris Attack. Before Tetris Attack, she played nothing. Afterwards, she got into fighting games and RPGs. My current girlfriend doesn't play any games though. She watched me play Counter Strike : source and simply had no concept of it.

This is lame.

Someone should write an article about how to get gamer men into quilting, thrifty mall shopping and clothing accessories.

What if I already love quilting and thrifty mall shopping

Write the article.

Anybody who actively seeks or cares about finding a "gamer girl" is the most pathetic person ever. My girlfriend doesnt play games, thinks they are stupid, says Rome Total War looks like the most boring POS ever, and you know what? IT DOESNT MATTER.

Considering how much fucking money I waste on games, and how little they contribute to my overall growth (games are time sinks that could be used on better, more productive hobbies - after playing a game for 2 hours I just feel like I wasted 2 hours on nothing important or worthwhile, even if its the best game ever), Id rather have people wean me off games. And if I was a girl and some gu ywas trying to get me hooked on games, Id cut off his nuts.

For someone who didn't want readers to focus on her gender, it's funny how much she's relying on it.

Exactly, shut up already. These editorials are stupid, the frag dolls are stupid.

The tone I get is "Dear GAF readers. You are complete, clueless losers. Here's Bonnie's 5 step plan to get you a girlfriend."

Hey, I think it's awesome my sister is a rabid Dr. Mario fan can beat the game on high speed and to boot loves Mario 3 and the Kart series. But you don't see me writing editorials on it.

(that reminds me I really oughta see if I can get she and her Halo loving gal pal to try Bomberman, they'd be vicious)

Oh no....Bonnie's article...may be *gasping for air*...working.

I wonder if she'll ever manage to work a comment about her menstruation cycle into a column about the PS3.
