@star team Gizka disappointed me so much, I've waited for that mod for like years! And nothing :-(
on the subject of girl gamers where I live we are still a rare creature, some kids at school found out I play x-box and now there is an obsession with trying to get my gamer tag the number who I don't even teach who stop me,
them: miss do u really have x-box?!
me: yes
them: and you like play games
me: *rolls eyes* yes
LOL sounds like they think it's the weirdest thing in the world that you would play games.
It really is that unusual here, if I go into a game shop on my own, I get pounced on, I don't know whether to be flattered or insulted, I remeber having a conversation once about RPG's and asking him if there was anything worth playing out, he kept listing them like I'd never heard of them and I was like, yeah played that, played that too, completed that when it first came out in 1990, by the end of it, I was going through games he hadn't played and if I'm honest feeling quite smug about it!
And I hated it when I went to pick-up my buy CoD:MW2 pre-oder,
Game dude: a treat for your boyfriend?
Me: *scowl* no it's for me
Dude: *shocked look* Oh have you played CoD before?
Me: Yes, all of them!
Dude: I don't know many girls who play proper games.
Me: Yeah well, I do, so can I have my game please?

It can be pretty frustrating to shop for video games but at least I usually find at least one girl working at my local games stores so they tend to be a bit easier to deal with. I live in gamer country though, surrounded by Microsoft, Nintendo and many others so we seem to have a pretty good community of girl gamers.
What really drives me nuts is when a guy knows I play and still feels the need to explain what an NPC, DPS or AOE, etc are. Dude! I know!!
*grins* When I bought ME1, the sales person looked at me, made the assumption that I *must* be purchasing the game for someone else (most likely younger and male) and said, "I just want to point out that this game is rated 'M" for mature."
Me: *sweet sweet smile and sugary tone* I think I'm old enough to play!
Salesperson: *backpedals frantically* That's so cool! My Mom plays too.
urgh.
I didn't want to bring up the age thing but it's a double whammy being over 40 and female. Every time I go into Gamestop I feel out of place.
Usually, I don't have too many issues at the game stores around here. Probably because I go by so often.
However, I also usually don't go game shopping with the boyfriend. He was with me when I went out to buy my 360, and it was horrible. I had to go to a store that was way out of the way, because it was the only one that had the game I wanted to pick up with it. The clerks literally refused to talk to me. They kept asking him what he was gonna use it for, and what games he was going to pick up.
He finally looks at them and says, "You know, if you keep this up, the person who's actually buying the 360 Elite and 10 games is going to get pissed and buy it elsewhere?" "Huh?" "She's not buying this stuff for me, dumb***!"
LOL, that part I enjoyed. Then, said idiot spent almost an hour trying to talk me out of everything. The system, the games, all of it. So I ended up buying it closer to home. The male bought me the game I'd been there to get later.
