FO24EvA Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 well because theya rent particulatrly good gamers and they dont want somethign that takes too much time is uppose. so they prefer apuse and play instead of real time or turn based. did you totally miss the joke in that? Or are you just messing with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Di Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Hmm. I'm a woman. I'm over 40. Barely. :D I like all kinds of games, and have since Space Quest I hit the market, and I played it on an old amber monitor. My favorite game of all time is a turn-based tactical squad game, JA2. My next fave is BG2. I've played a ton of games, RTS, FPS, MMORPH, Adventure, and every combo therein. I've had three careers and five kids. I've earned my gaming habit, and I could probably beat the snot out of half the "kids" on this board MP'ing any game you name. Lucky for y'all I don't have DSL, so I can't embarrass you. *cough* (Lucky for me too, since I can't be proven a liar!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zahadome Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 hee hee hee...I need my mom to see this topic. Nah...She'd just laugh her butt off My mom is about 45 and she is the friggin IT consultant at her work (in the hospital). She almost never touches the computer at home and allways complaints how it doesn't work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkreku Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 My mom is better at HTML than me. It's kind of embarrassing since I'm the one taking computer science classes at the university.. (But I own her in Java! Woo me.) Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Di Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Di - did you just put everyone in their place? Me? *picture Icon of Innocence here* Why, never! The idea that a grown woman could achieve something in life besides being a bored housewife and somebody's mama is rather quaint, though; so I thought I'd offer another side of the story. Pssst... I was just kidding about being able to beat everyone at every game. I hear Rayt the Uber-Mage is unstoppable in Dungeon Siege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromnir Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 di is a perfect example of why anecdotal evidence is a joke. is no way in hell that di is representative of your average female gamer... bless her munchkin heart.
