The Sims! I built the best houses. Forget that working stuff, my sims played and read all day.

I like to have gamer boyfriends, but it's hard to find one that doesn't fetishize 'gamer girls' or a guy who doesn't just play COD, Halo, and Madden. I guess I could date a guy who wasn't a gamer as long as he respected my choice to play. I enjoy having people enjoy watching me play, anyway...

You have been a delight as well. I really don't think poorly of you, I just think you haven't met enough female gamers. Just like most of the guys I know aren't gamers, the majority of females I know aren't. It's when you find females who are gamers that you find what they are playing. I may...

I see your point. It is to some degree an offensive stereotype of men. But the stereotype is still positive and active, and in society, men aren't actually seen as all uberviolent roid maniacs, whereas women are still expected to be attractive and in some minds, are there only for sex. The...

Yeah but Duke is supposed to be kick ass and amazing. He's a positive stereotype. The women are not. The female stereotype is for weakness and sex. We shouldn't have to say, "well at least it's better than some." I don't think as an industry we've come to a place where we can joke about...

I'd watch it. I don't even know what the Minecraft guy looks like. A game as crack-like as Minecraft should have an interesting back story.

I'm not saying that most people are looking forward to the strippers, I'm just questioning the decision to put them in in the first place. I'll bet the rest of the game is funny and fun to play, I could just do without the sexist imagery, jokes and plot. That's all. I think the game could...

From what I've gleaned, the stereotype for Australians in America is that Australians are blonde, rude surfer idiots descended from criminals. Not that I think that. I know some lovely Australians. None of which are stupid or discourteous. EDIT: But the whole accent thing is true of some...

Rape is a delicate subject that we've struggled to as a society to write about and comprehend. A plot point in a game about boobs and poop humor isn't the right forum to use it. I don't care which women are taken to be raped, there's still women being raped in a game that includes the ability...

Enslaved Didn't sell well enough for a sequel. But I loved the voice acting!

I agree. Please tell us how it all turned out with the landlord!

Saying Duke respects women is like saying Hugh Hefner respects women. Seriously? When is it ever indicated that he respects women? He even says that he's mad at the aliens for taking all of the hot girls. I watched the trailer. He sees an alien with boobs and wants to have sex with it...

I guess we couldn't avoid it. Duke Nukem Forever is coming. I bet it'll do wonders for how women are treated in video games. Am I the only one who thinks that putting out a game with so much obvious misogyny is looking back to a stereotype we're trying to escape as an industry? Imagine if...

The marketing killed it for me. I'm female. I don't tend to get excited about buying games featuring a female character eating a pizza seductively. Trust me, seductively is the least offensive word I could use here. It could have the greatest plot in the world, but I can't get past the over...

Grade school was the worst experience of my life and I ate my feelings. I was never obese, but I was heavy enough for it to be noticeable. Because of how much I hated who I was, I became very sarcastic and grew a thick (metaphorical) skin. Being a teenaged girl is shit, especially when the...
