heh, hopefully they do make it a good interview. not like how the western countries interview female gamers . ><

sometimes Q, u think 2-3 steps ahead of everyone else that it's hard to catch your train of thought.

gladys : westerners tend to have a skewered view about female gamers. it's either they are considered losers because they're nerds since they play the time , wear specs, pimple, etc. Or that they just focus on the looks and not on the game skill. it's like there's no middle ground for a girl gamer to fit in. as long as she's a girl gamer, she's either very weird or a bimbo-wannabe.

then again, if Game Axis is getting a man to do the interview, aiyaya.

at the end of the day, if you don't get interviewed by Game Axis, i can interview you on my game blog.

er, discussion on porn, outside coffee topic lah u 2.

I am skewered.

Now, I'm also a hypocrite. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhTxRssxfuI

eh, then what was it u posted in the other forums all in white ah?

u go ahead lah. i submitted but i think i'm not hardcore enough. it's so-so for me anyways. already yak yak yak so much here and there. ><

nah, don't think i'd get it. already took a shot at the interviewer being male so definitely slim chances. ><

never mind lah. as long as 3 of us can sit down and yamcha in May, don't care about interviews.

now if gladys or u do write a blog, that would be more interesting news.

i've not read Game Axis Magazine at all, to tell you the truth. so I don't really know what it's like. but i can imagine it's very difficult to keep up with online blogs about game news and all. wonder how game magazines make money though, the printed version ones that is.

The online game magazine I like to read is The Escapist (www.theescapist.com). Weekly published. Covers stories that most game journalists do not cover.

of course it's skewered. put it this way. research is done yes. the findings are what u mention yes. what research hasn't necessarily done is persuade the male-dominated community in general that girl gamers good at what they do. girl gamers are usually look down upon or ridiculed for playing a game that is considered mannish.

when the mainstream medias are still making a big hoohaa or going big-eyed about the existance of female gamers for more than 20 years, you know that it's not widely accepted for females to be gaming. let's take out nintendogs, the sims, 2nd life. look at the RPGS, RTS games out there. majority of female players are still closet players and only recently have some been speaking up about it.

surprisingly, female asian players are more accepted in asian gaming communities compared to the western gaming community. i'm not sure why this is happening but it's easier for an asian male to accept the fact that females like playing games and that they're pretty decent. for westerners, they're still extremely shock that females are gaming or are in denial.

Added on April 9, 2007, 1:58 pmactually, it wasn't intentional but after reading it, my brain went oops. but since the deed is done, decided to leave the post as is and let the repercussions come forth.

a blog is what you want to say. or post. although, it can get boring. i got bored after 2-3 yrs of food blogging.

kid, q : don't worry about going off-topic here. after all, it's like coffee time here anytime. off topics are ok with me

and yeah, it's mostly us 3 gals trying to settle a get-together in May. only reason it's a separate post becoz we always hijack other posts. >< guild recruitment, heated discussions, looking for WoW starter pack and suddenly bang, we're talking meeting up. ><

gladys : awwww... sorry to hear about that sad story.

seen : cannot imagine leveling a character for so long. ><

how did u guys tahan the pure grind of asian mmo? i reember in FlyFF very painful. tried a few other asian mmos, all the same. cannot tahan.

can't remember who the dark guy was. picture?

Well, it's definitely nice to hear the response from all of you regarding female gamers. And hearing you guys speaking up strongly about it. Other admittedly, us female gamers have to prove our worth probably a bit harder than the guys. And when mistakes do happen, it's sometimes gut reaction to blame the females. Not all the times, just sometimes.



Although, I admit that I like mixed-guilds rather than an all-female guild There are things that guys are better at than gals and vice versa, resulting in team-effort.. Or it's dependant upon the person. Too much feminity in one group can occasionally lead to ... errrm... rumbles and grumbles.

Actually I do prefer a stick-shift compared to an AUTO car. More power. Only thing I really need is power steering.

aiya gal. write in and see what happens. don't need to be shy lah.

From the sounds of it, it sounds like he assumed that you're a man, and a gay man at that. Not from the last bit but when you mentioned the word "sister".

As for the 2nd guy, if he feels worst, probably it's due to a bad day (can get to anyone) or low self-esteem. But he's still able to cope with it better than the first guy did.

Best is to forget out it and not get too upset about it all. Mind you, even I get upset at times. It's a hormone thing.
