Hideo Kojima claimed that women were genetically superior snipers in Metal Gear Solid. And if Hideo said it, it must be true!

I actually remember reading some article which claimed that women are superior snipers, and soldiers IRL too. But at least the latter part tended to have more to do with the fact mercenary/soldier women have a drive and passion for that job, rather some genetic disposition. Sniping could be explained by the fact/stereotype that women can think simultaneously more things than an average man can. *shrugs*

My Shep is an infiltrator, though not because of the genes, but because headshots are awesome 

Indeed they are. This is why I rock the Paladin with scope for a heavy pistol.

Some of the best WWII snipers were Russian women....

Stipulation: You haven't disproven the stereotype unless you turn out to be hot. They'll sell corsets to anyone. :innocent:


Which is not to say that I haven't witnessed evidence against the stereotype. I actually hooked up with a (hot) chick via WoW once. Briefly, anyway. Though she actually wasn't very good and tended to use it as a really complicated skype program...  

I was referring to the "hey I'm a girl, you haven't got used to GIRLS on the internet" aka Christina H. of the Cracked idiocy. 
But if you want hot, you're sh.t out of luck mate :')

I'm actually a girl gamer, not a gamer gurl. That being, gamer who happens to be sporting XX instead of XY, and what the hell does that have to do with how I snipe anyway, go make me a sandwich 

Just a quick question... Are we going to bring pics into this conversation again?

We're not starting on this one again are we?

No Tyrion, we are not. For a compensating activity, how about watching some OZ. It has more prettiness after all 

Hmm... What about playing a game? im getting a little bored...

If we start that particular conversation up again we are going to attract the mods this time. I know there isn't anything ME related to talk about but can we avoid having this discussion again. None of us want to get the thread locked.

*insert in Soviet Russia joke*

Many factors there, the emancipation after the rise of the socialism being a major one.

I personally believe some inherent behavioral patterns matter too. As in, in general, women tend to avoid violence as much as possible (drunk cat fights and Jersey Shore aside), but when they feel it's necessary, they will put you down. Not fight you, but kill you.

A friend who is paramedic said once to me that he prefers dealing with males, no matter what the situation, since even a junkie male will come straight at you. Girls say they're fine, and after you turn your back, they will strike a nail file to your neck 

What does this have to do with ME3 ending? ...well, with FemShep the Reapers should be friggin dead

Simo Haya was the greatest sniper ever. He was a No-Scope master.

Just got my Diablo III CE on release day and I didn't even have to pay for express shipping. The warehouse is only 1 town over.
I dislike physical copies generally 'cause there is all this stuff lying around after. But the skull has a magnitized holder to hold the soulstone, which pulses red when you put it in the USB port.




Only thing i can't figure out is why they didn't just put D3 on it too. For what you paid for the CE I can't imagine a 16 GB USB stick to hold D2 and D3 would have been that much.

Still, compare this CE to the CE from ME3. Plastic skull and free copy of previous Diablo game vs. N7 fabric patch.

It seems the ending was not the only thing rushed or done on the cheap.

Nothing wrong with the dark side. 

I think if I met Atrocity in person she would have a striking enough presence to convince me to join her on the dark side. Failing that it would be a bunch of zombies striking me and dragging me to the dark side.

Enjoy not playing it because the servers are off. Yes, not even Single Player.

Cant we not talk about WWII? Its seriously not funny that Denmark was at war with Germany for like 2½ hours and then we gave up...
Also... What are you expecting out of the EC?

As an American, I am not sufficiently experienced in letters with dots above them. Other than "i".

My Windows Phone is synced with Hotmail, so my e-mail and phone has been nagging me over and over. *sigh* technology.

EBGames (Gamestop's Canadian arm) did a great job shipping it out on time. I usually don't care for physical copies, but since the CE was only physical....

The picture of the skull is a bit miseading it somehow seems bigger in the promo picture. I'm fine with it this size though. I can imagine that only Atrocity would know what to do with a full-sized demon skull.

Oh yes, how awful, you fought them. Even is it was a mock war. We we're allied with them. I win the uncomfortability contest \\o/

And after that fateful tweet, I guess I'm just expecting some kind of IT/you have to use your imagination written in the colours of the whole spectrum, with font size 65

Not too concerned about playing D3 right now. Atrocity is reponsible for getting me into Skyrim. Of course she just up and left me there the whole weekend. Something about hunting. I think she just went shopping at the local merchants.

But yeah, servers being down on launch day is bad for any product launch.

I'll probably start playing D3 when the EC for ME3 finally comes out.

Hey, you wanna play a game? This whole talk about the wars and the ending of ME3 is making me depressed...

And bored...
