Sausage Fest?
Usually I don't bother listening, much less write about, stupid "gamers" and their rants that are dumb - but this one was as delicious as the picture to the right, you all need to read it. The article is about a girl "gamer" (I will continue to parenthesize gamer because she's not a gamer, just a whiner who likes nothing, to be honest), who claims that the Xbox 360 is only for men, basically.
In her rant, she posts each genre and complains about them to the fullest, but of course, she backed nothing up and the funny thing is, she complains about every genre of games on 360, so honey, what the FUCK do you like?
To summarize:
She's been to Vegas and doesn't need a card game to enjoy it (so don't buy it?). She doesn't like racing because it's the same thing over and over (orly?). She doesn't like sports and can't think of anything more boring (cutey pie, your face is more boring). She hates fighting games because she has no friends to come over and play them with her (um, Xbox Live much? Obviously not). She doesn't like first person shooting because it's just "not for her" (I seem to be running in a circle, don't FUCKING buy them.) She says for flying games "I can't believe there's a category for this" (you're the one complaining about the lack of variety, silly). She doesn't care about party or puzzle games on Xbox 360 because there are Mario games or similar games on GameCube or GBA (so play those, that doesn't mean these games suck, girls can easily play them - like any game). She is discouraged by war games (turn on the TV, walk outside, holla). She's scared of horror games and hates gore (well, that would be the whole genre and if you don't like scary shit, don't play scary shit, babe). She says that action games aren't out for 360 (360 is almost all action, and stop comparing it to systems that have been out for 4+ years, it's less than a year and you're already being a whore).
I could go on, but I am too frustrated because I'm stuck in a circle of how retarded this girl really is. But I will go ahead and quote my favorite part of her rant:
"Music/Dance - I'm actually sort of sad that DDR and Guitar Hero switched to the 360. But there are so many games already for the PS2 that I already own, and my dance mat works fine on it. Not worth getting a new console for. Dance Dance Revolution Universe, Guitar Hero II."
You're all thinking what I'm thinking after reading that, so I'm not gonna bother tearing it to pieces. Go ahead and laugh it up by reading the full "article" here.

What a joke she is. Great job on tearing her apart. I hope she reads this.
I think it's interesting how so many guys took this girl's article so personally.
Not many console games are designed for girls. That's a fact. It's not that women aren't interested--recent surveys have shown that there might actually be MORE women who play games on the PC than men. It's that game companies aren't designing console games for them.
Plus, she made a valid point regarding friggin' expensive the 360 is--especially when you add in accessories. M$ is screwing us all.
Seriously, you need to quit the fanboy nonsense and cut this girl some slack. Calling someone a "bitch" or a "whore" because you disagree with their perspective on video games is pretty messed up. Maybe you ought to get out more...
That article struck a nerve deep inside Eric. I thought it was pretty damn funny. Who's this guy that's all "serious" with his "quotation marks". You might find IGN more fitting, maybe.
Benjaming, you don't know me, so don't throw that in when you're talking about my post.
I didn't take anything personally, I found it funny, wrote about it, made fun of it, and now I'm writing about you.
There are games for girls, and I know plenty of girls who play games. It's HER post against Xbox 360 that's just plain wrong. There is no justification in her backing it up. You think 360 is expensive? Heard of a PS3? And not to mention Nintendo is the most notorious for accessories, so please son, don't you come in here calling me a "fanboy."
I've played all the systems, all my life. And I don't intend to stop. But when someone uses the girl argument and clearly doesn't know what they're talking about against a console, IE: 360, I'm gonna rant.
Excuse me while I go out, it's Thursday night.
Oh, and if a GUY wrote it, I'd call him a dumbass, fanboy, nerd, etc. Bitch and a whore online don't have much weight, but they do get the point across.
Right, it's not so much WHAT she argued, but HOW she argued it. She can have an opinion on whatever she wants, but it is just plain idiotic the way she presented that article.
Heh, I think it's pretty funny considering I know the girl who wrote it. Though I do see both points made (and I'm not choosing sides on this one) I think ultimately the arguement she made could be transferred to any consolem out there. It's just that when Microsoft first came out, everyone was hung up on the 'corporate' aspect of a company jumping into the gaming scene. Then again, that's exactly what Sony did.
