		<description>I just had to say that I was a wee one.  The most annoying thing about gaming online is of course, the guys... now you&#039;d think most guys would know how to appreciate a good female gamer but half the time I&#039;m either called a boy, who&#039;s testicles have yet to descend, or some fat chic who can&#039;t bone a guy.

I&#039;ve got two kiddos and I weigh less then a buck, so no problems in that department.  Mostly, I think they&#039;re just jealous that this chic just whooped their ASS.  in yo face, beeyotch.  :)
(obviously I can be a shit talker)

		<description>I don&#039;t know if the world could handle more me.   It might explode.  Or implode.  Or just &#039;plode.

I think soon marketers will realize that creating gender specific games isn&#039;t the money maker.  Yeah, traditionally parents haven&#039;t seen gaming as something for their daughters, but I think that&#039;ll change.  It&#039;s just going to take time.

I&#039;m going to game with any offspring I have, but they&#039;ve got to earn it.  It&#039;s a privilege.

		<description>That&#039;s awesome Erini, I wish there were more people like you! Anyway even though I&#039;m an awful stereotyping person, I do think those are general rules to follow for anyone new to video games. 

The whole genderizing (is that a word?) of video games probably shouldn&#039;t exist, but it totally does and I agree it&#039;s important to be mindful of that. In the end I get the feeling that over time as more and more kids grow up with video games, we&#039;re going to lose that gender stereotype of the girl and guy gamer.

I know when I grow up my kids will be playing video games. Hell I&#039;ll be playing with them =D

		<description>I grew up with an older brother, and therefore video games.  I&#039;ll never know if without him I&#039;d still love them, but regardless, I love them.

And though I do love Spyro, I&#039;ve got to say I love me some shooter games.  I spent many a night at a friend&#039;s house playing what we dubbed &quot;SMASH &amp; KILL&quot;... (my friend and I would be giant barbarians, who&#039;s sole purpose in the game was to smash and kill things.)

I hate this gender-ing of video games.  I don&#039;t believe there are boy games and girl games.  (Though they are pushing these fluffy happy games in pink and lilac on girls like crazy, so I doubt boys would like them all that much, but kudos &amp; who cares if they do.)

...err.. rambling.

Anyway.  Yes, I&#039;m a girl.  Yes, I game.  I don&#039;t do online gaming because I use Macs.  But I&#039;ve got a Wii, DSi, and playstation.  If I had the funds I&#039;d have a xbox 360 and a PS3.  I like shooter and racing games as well as the standard mario games and fantasy ones.
