Hiya,

GameAxis Malaysia, a monthly local English-language game magazine, would like to do a feature story on female gamers in an upcoming issue. What games do you play? Why do you like video games? What do you have to say about video games as a local female gamer? These are but a few questions that we'd like to ask you as part of our upcoming special feature on female gamers.

We're looking for female gamers who are willing to volunteer their time to speak to us about their hobby. Maybe you're a hardcore DotA player, or even a casual O2Jam player; it doesn't matter. If you're passionate about video games, be it PC, console, or arcade, we want to know what makes you tick.

Successful applicants will have their share of fame in the Malaysian gaming community by having their words and pictures printed in GameAxis Malaysia for all posterity. And oh, we'll also throw in some freebies to make your time worthwhile.

Interested volunteers will need to write a brief intro about themselves, how long they've been playing games, what games they play, and provide a recent photo of themselves. Email me at fatcatlim@yahoo.com for more details. If you've any enquiries, feel free to post them here or PM me.

Deadline for now is 5th of May 12th of May, depending on the number of responses.

hmmm there's 1 female GoW player around... look for her inside xbox section.

ying123 ---> Hardcore Ouendan player.

oh that gal very dangerous ooo...

in whta sense
ahahhahahahaha

haha, i just wanna say ying.

i forgot about 1 more hardcore female gamer lah... check out her gaming room!

hahahaha..not hardcore la..more to casual

We'd still love to hear from you. Please send us a short description of your gaming background and history, and who knows? You might be selected to be in our article.

GOW sure tapau orang punya...

define HARDCORE.

a lass who gobbles/buys everything she sees or

a lass who finished a LOT of games, and we are not talking lumines or barbie and the 12 pricesses here.

A gamer who has "completed" a lot of games may show more dedication than the average gamer, but most gamers don't finish their games in general for various reasons (too hard, got lazy, lost interest in the game, etc). That doesn't mean they're any less "hardcore" than those who did complete playing games.

And then there's the MMORPG genre, which essentially has no conclusions or ending thanks to their "neverending" type of gameplay. So does that mean even a WoW player who knows the ins and outs of the game is not a "hardcore" gamer because WoW cannot ever be "finished"?

Disregarding games like Lumines is flawed though - they also require elements of strategy and quick thinking like any other video game.

I guess I can be classified as a female gamer. I play Call of Duty a lot, Football Manager 07 religiously, FF VII - XII (though never finish any of them *sweat*) and also a Winning Eleven fanatic. Heheh but I'm not a really good gamer though. I just play to pass the time, since started working haven't had much time to play but wait til I get my hands on a PS3...huhuhuh

Then why not write a short intro about your gaming background and send it to us? We might choose you for the article~ :3

I've completed all levels of GTA San Andreas (two months to complete it), all Harry Potters game except Goblet of Fire (which is so boring), The Sims 2 (endless game, of course) and I started gaming when I was 10 years old with Super Mario, Super Contra, Prince of Persia.....

can join, eh?

Sure. Just write a brief intro about yourself and gaming background (the more detailed, the better) and send it to us, as well as a recent photo of yourself.

Since I'm damn bored in office, and since Pak Lah and bid mentioned me, I guess I'll write something despite my terrible English...
Must submit photo meh...? Don't blame me later if there's a sharp drop in sales of next issue

Btw, any min or max numbers of word limit?
