Just a random thing I noticed.

but of course, girls really aren't into gaming

how stereotypical of you, you senseless turd. Well there was one or two a while back. I will let an older member tell you. About your girls arent in to gaming comment. Nay I say! Dude my girlfriend can rock my at street fighter two. But then I come back and beat her at Super Smash brothers. She has more consoles than I do. And! (get this) she isnt creepy!

okay, let me rephrase this...

MOST girls aren't into games. Are you happy now?

No, most girls aren't into the games WE'RE into...

However, my girlfriend loves to play Uniracers and all three versions of Donkey Kong for SNES. Good times.

My wife loves playing video games. She loves playing the X-Men Legends games, Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life, and the Star Wars Battlefront games. There have been many nights where we got home from work and I wasn't really in the mood to play anything (big shock I know

) and she would be like "Can we play Battlefront tonight?" Four hours later many stormtroopers had lost their lives.

As recent as 5 years ago or so females made up a very small amount of the video game consumer base. Nowadays though I bet 20-30% of all gamers are women.

Girls... Videogames... Why are you saying these two words together?! You're confusing me! AAH!
(really though guys, take down the bashing a notch, you're all overreacting)

Heh, I know at least 5 girls who play games at least semi-frequently. And my girlfriend probly plays them at least as much as I do.
NES and N64 seem to be girls favorite systems, has anybody else noticed that trend? Girls dont seem to like sony systems. Perhaps they are the smarter sex after all!

Everyone knows women don't have the hands to solder well and such. Just like not many women can play guitar well.

Also, girls are way to smart to mess up perfectly good systems and make it so you can move them around a little.

My girlfriend LOVES to play videogames. But she sucks.

So I don't let her play when I'm around. (Ok I do, but I feel sorry for poor old mario, falling off all those cliffs and such.)
I got her an emulator so she can pwn some Giygas and such without me crying.

So, what, this is the 6th thread about no girls on this forum?

Well shut up and invite some! Seesh!

A quick search reveals 7, based on titles.

There's a significant number of "how old are you?" threads (many titled "how old are you?" and threads about girls, too.

<s>I'm a girl</s> Sorry, it's been done.
I'm pretty sure that there are some girls around here SOMEWHERE... Unless, of course, not one enjoys soldering. Of course, Michaels craft store sells a 25 Watt soldering gun for crafts....

We would if any would come! I think there have been two girls here, ladyada and nas-15 are the only ones I know of, but neither have been here recently.
