    Why Girls suck at gaming

    its scientifically proven that girls evolved to be bad at videogames...by science!

    as I read in this particular article

    http://n4g.com/news/1028626/this-is-...suck-at-gaming

    just some high-lights


    • Low Interest and Superiority Complex“There’s an air of superiority when it comes to their attitude towards gaming, like playing games is beneath them. Let’s just, for the moment, ignore the fact that girls play games with our emotions, with our wallets, and above all… our sanity.”
    • They are Social Creatures“She can’t handle not talking… not being social. Solitude drives them insane and there’s really not a lot of sanity to play around with in the first place.”
    • Attention Deficit“If they have to wait for something, they start talking. Talking about random irrelevant shit, anything to fill the blissful silence with content… and they don’t stop.”
    • Violence and Competition is Kryptonite“Girls are biologically wired to avoid violence and competition. They can’t handle it physically, emotionally, or digitally.”
    • Reasonable Game Designers Ignore Girls“The 5% of the games designed for women are non-violent browser-based games with pink ponies eating happy grass in your digital farm shitting digital fertiliser to grow more digital crops.”
    • Complaining About Difficulty“Girls are incapable of being in the moment and just enjoying a game without complaining about every god damned aspect of it that is challenging.”

    and its completly true....you leave a woman alone for more than 5 mintues the poor thing just can't help but start talking about rom coms and diets and...."girl" things, thats when you have to step in and guide her to the kitchen where she will feel safe as the hysteria wears off...then she can make you a sandwhich

    soo....satire or serious? because I really can't tell

    Didn't read it yet, but this made me lol.

    Actually from reading the end, I think the dude may actually be serious. And here I thought it was a failed attempt at a Sterling impersonation.

    Also, I've spent way too much time reading/hearing about this topic over the past week. Gonna take a break now.

    Yeah, stuff like this leaves a bad taste in my mouth, even if it is a joke.

    But it all balances out, because women are better at social networking and getting pregnant.

    that was pretty moronic and unfunny, honestly. Sounded like a pissed off 16-year old ranting.

    Personally, I think it's far more offensive to suggest that women can't take a joke.

    Well yeah, people don't normally laugh at jokes they don't get...not to be rude or anything.

    True, there is no such thing as an offensive joke, taking offence from something you've heard or seen is merely an individual's opinion.

    “Girls are incapable of being in the moment".

    I just can't be in the moment guys, I need to expand my thoughts and emotions to many borders and feel the cosmic vibes that beam around me.
