I really wish this thread would get locked... This is embarrassing for gamers everywhere.

That was probably a pre-teen boy. Don't get so excited.

Is "female" normal for a girl in english O_O ? If i say "femelle" to a french girl, she will just kick my a*s.

Typically it's a pretty neutral word. As in "female gamers" or "female employees". Sometimes it fits better in terms of style and grammar.

Also, there's far more women playing this game than you'd ever realize. But, of course, there are no girls on the internet.

Off topic but I think /b/ would like to have a word with you.

I run into female gamers all the time. A lot of us PS3ers just don't have mics. (didn't come with the system, not attached to a pair of headphones like pc mics). I keep hoping I'll run into Dragon Racer, but I'm usually in Bronze pugs and I don't think we're on at the same time. Sadface.

Ooooh, nice one on the train choice. Does present challenges, but you're right on the defensible nature of it. Motorcycle is good too, although a plain old bicycle has many of the same advantages, with the addition of being silent. Of course, rider fitness becomes an initial issue, but one that fixes itself over time, as opposed to fuel shortage that would only get worse over time.

All in all, though,,, I think Anderson said it best: "You did good, child. You did good."
We now return you to the previously scheduled infotainment on the subject of socially awkward gamers.

The only girl I've every met who plays Mass Effect is my sister. And that's because I was an awesome brother and got her into it.

Without having read the entire thread, wait until you run into Omega. She's quite outstanding.

I was in a match with a girl who was flirting at me because she was bad and wanted to be carried. After the match I told her she was bad and should feel bad for assuming I'm a deprived sexually starved male and we kicked her.

Chivalry is dead.

If I play with girls, I try to make game as much fun for them as possible. i.e. reviving, doing objectives, letting them kill most enemies.

I'm gay so I was having none of it.

**** chivalry.

This thread is basically living proof as to why girls pass as guys in video games.

Some of you act like you've never even interacted with women...

My origin friend list has 1 girl for every 3 guys, so nope PC has plenty of girls... should we care? not really

I've run into a couple females playing MP, and they've all generally been pretty cool. No crazy gender awkwardness or anything. It's really not a big deal. A player is a player, regardless of gender. Though I will say women who are baked tend to be funnier than guys who are baked, from my experiences in playing with both. >_>

OP this isn't like the 80's. Now like another poster mentioned it's pretty neutral ground now.

And much like drunk people, unless you're in a simmilar state yourself, neither is really all that funny, and actually more likely to be annoying as all hell. And on that one, there definetely isn't a gender difference.

I play with Dragonracer frequently and she is cool as hell and also pretty dang good. I've actually bumped into more than a few female gamers on PS3. There are also quite a few females PS3ers who post on here.

  

Especially coming from you, who is pretty much one of the top PS3 players, IMHO.

Also, for the record, folks, yes, women do get asked if they are a woman or a young boy. It's sometimes hard to tell, it seems, especially if there's poor mic quality. Additionally, I do not find "girl" to be an offensive term. I'm 27, but would not feel like someone was insinuating I was a child if they said "girl" to me. *shrugs*

Two things people often don't realise is that Mass Effect has a very good age distribution and gender distribution.

Men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents. Guess that makes me an FBI agent. But on topic, yeah, there are quite a few.

@Tictac: as Kenadian said, it's more of a grammar thing. Saying woman gamer or girl employee just feels sour on my English fanatic tongue.

I think that's mostly due to role-play ability, which most shooter and hybrid shooter games lack.

I heard a female on voice last night. UNfoirtunately, I walked into a game that already had three people in it, so I didn't know which one was her. Will I ever find my ME princess?

Yeah I've heard a few russian girls on ME3, mostly russian anyways.
The first one surprised me, then I was like, "why am I even surprised about this?"

I don't talk in PUG matches mainly because I'm female. There have been to many instances where guys try to talk to me when I'm clearly not interested.

I find high people funny, and I haven't smoked pot in a few years. I also am firmly convinced that when I'm drunk, I believe I'm VERY funny.

I've seen quite a few play on xbox. The funniest one was a girl playing a krogan smashing everything. She would blurt out "krogan smash!" every once in awhile.

The worst ones are the bossy ones trying to get the team to do something dumb. Like for example, All take cover on the L cover at the bottom of FB Condor. No matter how much I protested it and pointed out the covers weakness. The entire team followed her down there anyways, and died. While I stayed nice and safe up top.
