Two recent "episodes" of the OMG U R A GURL AND U PLAY GAME?
1. I am in charge of two adult ESL classes at work, and I've talked about video games in one of them. One of the students (a guy who's older than I am) totally freaked out when I recognised his all-time favourite: Mario Kart.
"But... But... How do you know that game? You're... a girl!"
"So what? I'm old enough to know SNES games."
2. One of the boys at the Phonics class had the balls to ask me if I could play StarCraft.
"I'm not good at it at all, but yeah, I can play StarCraft. Which race do you usually play? Terran? Protoss? Zerg?"
(Followed by answers from the boys. They said Terran and Protoss - none of them said Zerg.)
"Heh, interesting. Most of you go for Protoss, eh? I prefer Protoss myself."
(The boys rolled their eyes and I grinned at them like a Cheshire cat.)
Isn't it ridiculous that lots of boys think girls don't/can't play games? Share your stories and remind us why we, as "girl gamers", must laugh at 'em. ;) |

So, I got my little troll priestess up to 58, and the first stop was the Outlands. However, I noticed I am way undergeared. I'm trying to get myself geared up, because I will be returning to the Battlegrounds when I ding 59, which should happen in about 5 more bubbles. Usually, my tank, a level 65 fully protted pally, accompanies me, but lately, he's been an ass. When he asks me to bubble and keep him healed with one of his quests, I do it, but I can't seem to get him to return the favor, which is annoying the Hell outta me.
I was in Org earlier, putting some stuff on the AH for sale, and this one broad kept saying 'im the cutest person on the game' or 'im the hottest one here'. I said, 'You're about as cute as a train wreck!' and 'The only way you'd be hot is if you were on fire - literally.' If there's one thing I HATE in the world, it's attention whores and guild princesses. (Ask my sister, ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) idrinkcoffee about how much I hate attention whores.) I don't tolerate either of them. I decided to fire back at her constant spamming of General chat and threw 40 snowballs at her in sequence. She whispered, 'Stop it.' I said, 'What will you do if I don't? You're just level 8. One hit of my bitch stick, and you'll die. Stop spamming how cute you are because for some reason, I bet you're a fat and smelly man.'
It is broads like her that make the rest of us gamers look bad. |
