Male gamers pay to have girls play video games with them on webcam (article)

Really? Really?

Things like this are the reason that the mass media at large still think of gamers in general as sad, sweaty basement dwellers with the social skills of a damp sponge.

It's pathetic.

All of my anti social behavior is made null by the fact that there are people who pay girls to play video games with them.

Hmmm I wonder if you could set up a 25 man heroic raid through that. Someone get on that, get back to me when you down H Nefarion.

I got paid to teach people how to play video games for 27.50 an hour recently. Damn.

But then again, my old battlefield 1942 Kill/Death streak WAS about 80/1....

Also, don't get me wrong, but this sounds like a lot of fun to me. I mean, girls who are into games are AWESOME, playing games with other people is AWESOME and only 35c a minute is so worth the added fun of your favourite game with a cute girl. It's not something I'd do for a turn on, it's something I'd do for shits and giggles, something for pure enjoyment rather than for "Stimulation"

Better than WoW at least XD

But yeah, I was sorta offended by the article writer. It's not a creepy service, it's a service some people abuse, sure, but at the heart and soul it's really supposed to be a fun non-creepy thing, otherwise the girls would charge you to play topless or something. Human interaction is always a plus.

And in a seperate post I'll quote people, so if you quote me it's easier for you, K guys

You take into perspective only the reviewers point of view.

The guy who was clearly extremely sexist about girl gamers.

Anyone ever think that there might be people who just want to play games with attractive girls?

Girls they'd never normally meet due to being housebound, disabled or just plain lonely?

Of course it's going to be a cam; we're a visual gender. How is it really different to women reading erotica to get their jollies?

This. This this this. Even for the supposedly creepy side of this, it's nothing really bad. Having a friend to share a common interest is something that binds humanity together like so much duck tape. If it's how you want to spend your money, I guarantee you're not gonna get any STD's from it either.

And for the Gamers who get rejected for said activity, a girl who would actually play video games with them would be such a nice uplifting feeling.

I mean, the best conversation I've ever had was with a girl gamer. We had decided that Princess Peach actually chooses to be kidnapped. *Sigh* good times...But that was just a friendship you see. A nice thing, without intercourse even being discussed, as that was neither of our reasons for talking. Talking to a girl that likes video games is such a rare, amazing thing and some people are sure to be willing to pay for the experience.
