THQ Says 'Girls Have Better Things To Do Then Play Games' >
2008/06/09 16:09:05: Posted by DM
This one is certainly going to get the attention of some of our female constituency. James Scalpello, the Wireless Director over at THQ, claims that girls do not play as many games as guys because, well, they think they have better things to do.

"When girls play console games, they have to have gone through a whole other list of things they could have done before sitting down with them," he told CasualGaming.biz.

He claims there has never been a successful game pinpointed directly at girls, but The Sims franchise does come to mind. Then again, I know some of our teenage sisters here at GR who spend all day on portal game websites.

ahhahahah

that's so fuckin true !!!

And why did THQ said Girls have better things to do then playing video games, I guess they are just pissed off, that they couldn't sell enough games like they used to...

Listen to a band called killwhitneydead. They seem to know what all women have on their mind's. And believe me it's so pretty so plastic.

Seriously? Do all of you think girls are barbies? I happen to be a girl gamer, and I for one do not sit down and make a list in my head consisting of shopping (eww gag me) and talking and getting my nails done. (I abhor nail salons as well). And just because I hate shopping and getting my nails done does not mean I am a tom boy that looks like a man and should be one. Usually, console games are the first thing on my list when I'm at home. And for the record, I only played one version of the Sims and found it to be extremely stupid and not worth my money or time. Oh and grindking, the only thing on your list of women's priorities that I actually do on a regular basis is eat. I love eating.

I bet this Thorn of Cammor is just some fat girl that plays video games. Seriously? She loves eating. I bet she is.

Excuse me, chuckl163 (what a shitty name)...I think you know better. I'll post a picture if that would make you happy...except you'll probably retort with "That's not really her, she photoshopped herself to look skinny." Whatever, it's not like I care what you think anyways.

Thorn of Cammor: Unlike some of these juveniles above me I can appreciate a woman who plays videogames. Unlike them I learned in the first grade that girls weren't gross. I guess some of them never got the memo. Welcome to this site. Stick around a while. I have to give it to you. Your holding your own in here...

Yeah i think we all agree that chuckl163 is just being a dumbass. That much is obvious.
Written by chuckl163 on 2008/06/10

I admit me being a dumbass too. I actually know this girl and I am VERY good friends with her. I was just harassing her.

Written by Thorn of Cammor on 2008/06/12

Haha ok. Very funny chuckl163..we're just good friends...can't even say we're dating huh? Ha. Anyways if I ever play online I use my boyfriends. And I guess I'll stick around since chuckl163 is so obsessed with checking this site that I'll be around it all the time anyways. And thank you PimpDaddy.
