I had a student job at the Antwerp Expo today and there was a challenge: CAN YOU BEAT ME ? It was a girl behind a pc playing css... Not some girl but this girl Charlotte van Brabander Everyone thought HA a pretty girl with pink mouse and a pink headphone...easy peasy. She's doing competition on the ESWC (should have guessed)...owned the ones I saw competing here I thought I will give it a try, aldo I must say gaming on other gaming material is definitely not recommended. steel series mouse and a soft gaming pad (I always go for metal gaming pad much better and smoother) but thats no excuse. After some minutes she did some brain painting on the wall behind me...getting used to the slow reaction speed of that pad.I could get it to a tie more or less...(saving my manhood here lol no I dont have problems with getting beaten by a girl) I shush myself she does css competition But what an awesome job for a pretty gaming chick...we need more of this. Lets attract some more girls here. Leaving toilet seats down or some Pink forum modification I will do the photoshoot
She is hawt Only ever went out with one girl who played computer games, we used to play HL2 Detahmatch together all the time; but we don't talk anymore...
You know that whenever there is a challenge like that, it's not going to be easy. And guys, there are more female gamers then you think.
Most of them turning out be trolls, who just pretend to be girls. But nah, Pim's right. Still fun to see how many get excited, when they see a GIIIIIIIIIIRRRL playing. And even more hilarious are the "Gamer girls" themselves, who consider themselves as some sort of minority and boast their status as "Gamer Girl" On the other hand I've yet to meet a girl that's actually good in a video game. :X
And this is exactly the problem. I wondered why this was the case in the past, and after asking a couple female friends they all replied the same thing. Most of the guys online are fucking retarded and see a female as a goddess, also some girls seek this kind of attention online by openly saying that they are a girl gamer and saying it at every opportunity. These are the girls you wouldn't want anyway, since they are just attentionwhore's. Just watch closely next time a female announces that she is a female in a game, on a forum, or anywhere where it's male dominant.Or do it yourself, go in the LZ-server ( You are better off on a more "childish" server, but I know you only want to play on LZ) on prime-time with a fake / girly nick. Do something wrong and say something like "Must be because I am a girl, I am new to this game. And you will be amazed and amused at the same time. A lot of female's totally owned me on guitar hero though, but that's probably because I suck anyway.
I always wondered why that's the case. It seems that most guys instantly think she looks like one of the two gals in the starting post as soon as they hear a female voice. Like there's no option that she just looks normal or maybe worse. Maybe it's just because most guys just try to be gentlemen and see most girl games as inept... or a curious about this unknown phenomenon that is a girl gamer. Or maybe they just got the weird impression that they might somehow get laid. ^^ You're giving me terrible ideas. Very entertaining, but still terrible ideas. And I wouldn't really do things like these on LZ. ^^ Isn't any different with my and singstar, but that doesn't really count.
The way I did that a while ago to prove a point to a friend of mine was. 1) Choose medic. It may be a stupid mindset but people are more likely to believe you if you play medic. 2) Try to find the guy that rages the fastest. Or is the most chatty. 3) Make big faults, eg not healing him when you should, not ubering him when telling him to push in with full uber, not ubering so you die etc. Let him rage a little, and when you made him rage for some minute or so. Tell him that you are new / learning and say you are a female. Just don't become one of those internettrolls that is always saying I'm a girl. Just do it once too see how stupid most males are on the internet. ps. I won that bet with that friend. The rager turned around completely, asked if I had a mic / msn / facebook, suddenly started talking on the mic, making helpful comments etc.
I've got to ask finally Pim, where did you find your avatar? Also, on topic, the girls that game that I know are sound. Most tend to be a bit older (25-40) unless it's amonst my friends and then they aren't that good. It really depends on your background and upbringing.

Putting female's on a pedestal etc etc. Just a little rant from me, but maybe I should be thankful for that, makes it easier for me 8)
Well that explains a lot about your playing skill... BAHAHAHAHA. (My apologies, but that was too tempting.) And no worries, Pim. Varierty is the spice when it's about trolling. Only boring people troll the same way more than once.
some believe my avatar actually... Even when i'm talking on the mike... Most girls don't admit they are girls and hardly ever talk ingame because of this. To much testosterone when the rest realizes there's a girl in there! don't know many female gamers. but some play once in a while.
and we have pinky to i have a few girl gamers in my friendslist and one of m is a RL friend of mine so i think most people think off the stereotype gaming woman people tought they where in the midlle ages (of gaming haha) :lol: i just lol at guy's going nuts when a woman uses here mic hahahaha xD so yeah i say we need more woman (always civelized on the batllefield) and make most gamers loose concentration turning them into easy fragfood whoehahaha :badgrin:
