On my Facebook page, Elite Girl Gamers, I get people constantly asking my opinion on why there aren’t many female characters in games. I can tell you my opinion on this subject always surprises people when I say, “I couldn’t care less.” I’m not a feminist. I understand there are differences between the sexes. “Men and women are equal!” No…no they are not.  “Equal” is the wrong term.  I cannot lift th ...

  The first and most valuable piece of advice I have ever been given is– SLOW THE F*CK DOWN! 1) As soon as that count down begins at the beginning of a match, don’t get too excited.

I have over 212 hours logged in just on Modern Warfare 3 alone, not to mention all the previous COD games. It still shocks some people to find out that behind my gamertag lies an actual girl. Welp, excuse me–woman (I use the term loosely). I like to think I am pretty good. My record would show that, of co ...

  by Dr Nikki Girls don’t like things they can’t understand. (Especially shooter games for xbox 360, PS3 or PC) That’s why most girls don’t play video games.
