Where's a Gamer Guy of the Month.

Woe is this societal praise of women being in an opened-access hobby, where women are superseding all males and there is absolutely no equality! Where's Mega64 when you need them to pose for Gamer Guys of the Month! WHY GIVE THEM ATTENTION FOR JUST COINCIDENTALLY BEING FEMALE GOD DAMNIT!

I'll be gamer guy of the month?!?

-Mika-3919d ago

I hate attention seeking girls like this. It give us girl gamers a bad image.

NihonjinChick3919d ago

You give yourself a bad image.

Ripsta7th3919d ago

She actually has a gaming background unlike others tho, but i agree most girls do it for attention

MoveTheGlow3919d ago (Edited 3919d ago )

Is it the girls themselves, though? Or is it a system in which sexualized girls get ad revenue and clicks, and which sexualized boys are viewed immediately as "gay," since we're imagining a default hetero male viewer, therefore only generating "gamer girls" and no highly-visible sexualized "gamer guys" articles? Wouldn't it be the viewers first and the writers/editors second? Then the girls who accept the deal?

And even if it's usually that particular system, it won't always be for the money or popularity-type attention. Sometimes people just like to be seen, and like to be sexy, even sexualized. I can't assume this particular girl has a monetary or social capital-focused motivation. Perhaps it just makes her happy.

One thing I do know from the article: She's played games for longer than many commenters on this site have been alive. Two: She's cute, what can I say?

beeing 300 pounds gives girl gamers a bad name.

MoveTheGlow3919d ago

Wait, so does that mean Gabe Newell at some point gave girl gamers a bad name? I mean, he did fund and publish Portal through Valve...

blackmanone3918d ago

Movetheglow, no need to feed the trolls :)

deafdani3919d ago

Ladies and gentlemen, look at Mika's post. Irony in its finest form.

GodGinrai3919d ago (Edited 3919d ago )

I think it has a lot to do with how the industry would like to perceive girl gamers, as well. But to be fair I think she knows what she is doing, so fair play to her. And She plays RPGs..that pretty hardcore in my books. ;)

plenty of us know girl gamers (I know a few potty mouthed ones too...I think Im rubbing off on them, lol), we know better than to assume we know them, just because they are a "girl gamer". A gamer is a gamer.

If I ever ran into her on halo, BF etc. I would shoot and teabag her just like she was one of the lads. Thats equality for ya!

I like doing it on BF, because they HAVE to watch you do it for about 4 seconds. lol..Im such an ass hole!

EDIT: Mika does have a point though. Any time we see a girl gamer, she is usually in cosplay or short, shorts. sex sells right?

dark-hollow3919d ago

Guys who goes apeshit as soon as he hear a female voice in an online game gives us males a bad name.

dcj05243918d ago

My friends piss me off when they do that. Girl joins our squad and its all HURP ARE YOU A GIIIRL. They usually end up leaving -_□

AAWELLS093918d ago

She's one of the coolest girls on YouTube I've seen. I wouldn't worry to much about her, if I were you.

M-M3918d ago

You're not even a girl lol.

NumOnePS3FanBoy3918d ago

I agree with you because clearly a gamer girl would strip down in her panties and take a photo. Fake ass gamer girl if you ask me

I need to check out her blog now

evilkillerk3919d ago

Just because certain girls are proud of what they do doesn't mean they go around flaunting it in other girls or even guys faces.

cleft53919d ago

It also doesn't mean they shouldn't. Some people are quiet as a mouse and others are bold and open about their lives. Neither one is necessarily a bad thing so long as they have class.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
