I'll never find a waifu if we don't act now to boost the gamer girl population.

I'm spamming this kickstarter for the benefit of all of us who need a better half to use that turbo tap with... or turbo stick... or...

why is my mind always in the gutter? oh, yeah... I'm me.

Anyway, it looks like a neat project and I support it.

No.

EDIT: I will explain this better. I don't care what women are doing in gaming. I only care what I and people I know are doing. And to add to that, the last time I ran into a woman player, a supposed pro player at that, was on Hawken, some chick named FunnyBunnie or some shit, who kept saying we should know who she was because she was a pro player and was going to blow us away.

I had curb stomped her ass on 4 matches in a row and started verbally ragging on her for being such a drag to her team. Seriously, she was just doing nothing, no kills, etc. I'm not sure if she would have even qualified as average. I have a feeling she was probably some clan whore that gets carried by teams.

Anyway, she started bitching and threatening to tell her supposed bf, some other player named "cond0m", and also to report me to admins or whatever. This is not the first supposed "pro gamer girl" I have seen, let alone the first one I have seen to behave that way, so thanks, but no thanks. I don't need a 80 min film about them.

I don't understand what this Kickstarter is for. I didn't watch the video but I read a little bit of text and nothing says what this is even about. So we just give girls the money just for nothing? Yeah, no.

I don't even care what it's for.  The guy looks like a hipster doofus, ergo my money stays where it is.

As long as Anita Sarkeesian stays 100 miles away from this, I'm cool with it. Besides, Jeri's involved... she's cool beans. But why do we "need more gamer girls"? Females are already 48% of gamers.

Nothing wrong with enjoying Farmville. It's just as much of a game as COD, Mario, or Cadash. Studies show that women tend to like games where they can customize things; it doesn't get more "customizable" than games like Farmville.

First of all, I don't call them a "gamer girl", I call them a "gamer". There is no need to add the "girl" part. Second of all, please get your terms straight. :P Whether or not a game is quality has nothing to do with it being hardcore. Plenty of hardcore games suck; plenty of quality games aren't hardcore. Farmville isn't hardcore but it's a rather high-quality game and it's incredibly popular. A lady doesn't have to bang hookers in GTA or go questing in Cadash to be a gamer... she just has to play games. Lots of "new" gamers call us retro gamers "not real gamers" too, don't forget... and those nooblets wouldn't stand a chance in hell against the classics like Ninja Gaiden or Battletoads.

So pay money to make  a 'documentary' where I watch random women play games?  How f*cking desperate have men gotten?  Just watch a damn porno and fap, will be a lot more fun, much better selection of females, and you'll be finished in 10 minutes.

Wasn't Caitlin Oliver the Splatterhouse World Champion for about a day?  It was cool that some of us at Octurbofest were there to see her make that record, but it was *quickly* beat.  Maybe she's regained the title and I missed it. Either way, its pretty hawt that she made it, but if it was quickly retaken (by the original champion iirc) then does that really make her noteworthy?  If I got the high score of some game for a day and then the original high score owner took it back, would that make me noteworthy?

It's been a fun day and I'm talking out of my ass right now... Maybe this is all a useless post.  Feel free to ignore. :D
