Women in Gaming

CNN is running an article about the activities of female gamers. The article just briefly touches on a discussion at teh recent GDC event in San Francisco.

Interesting is that at the time I read the readers responses, most were from female gamers.

My lassie plays games, too. She's very good, Guitar Hero, Final Fantasy, stuff like that.

She's too scared to play others like FEAR

Wifey plays ArmA, and I hate it. She's glued to my computer so I have to do a lot of struggle to take her away...

I can't get my wife to play hardly any video or board games.

Often I feel like a video game widow. My lady is a rabid WoW player. The good thing is that this frees me up for SH3/4

I feel sorry for you. Of all the games, she picks a pay-monthly one :rotfl:

My wife was ready to sue City of Heroes for alienation of affection for a while there. :rotfl:
