Real Girls Gaming
It seems the gamer girl stereotype has shifted, where once we were unbearably unsightly; we now seem to be naked. When I became aware of this strange trend, I laughed, since I was sure this wasn’t the case (being of the gaming in clothes persuasion). But my search for attired ladies playing games only managed to support this odd nude gaming moniker (found so many images of naked ladies tangled in controllers). Though all these ladies are beautiful (clearly not unsightly) and have lovely breasts (who doesn’t like boobs!), it felt a little unbalanced. We really don’t all play naked.
Thus my quest was born! To collect as many images of clothed ladies actually playing games (not just posing with a controller).
That’s how it started anyway. It has since morphed into anything rah-rah women gaming, but the prudish part is staying!!
Know of something that would fit right in? Send it over or tell me about it.

I came out of my WoW battle pets daze last night to play some coop-multiplayer Civilization 5 with my buddy. We’ve had this standing Civ 5 date for a while now and I must admit it has been really entertaining, much more so then I expected, considering it is a turn based game. Then again I hardly ever find myself waiting due to my being the slowest of the participants. We also chat on vent, which makes coordinating and checking in easier.
But last night, after my buddy saved and left the game at a very reasonable hour, I decided to stick around and play a bit more. See my neighbor had just decided to attack me and I simply wanted to figure out if everything would be okay before I went to bed. Big mistake!
I ended up playing ‘just one more turn’ for another FOUR HOURS. Yup, I played seven hours of Civ 5 last night and finally went to bed at 3am. I’m shocked that I’m putting words together that form proper sentences. Its going to be an interesting day. =)
On the bright side, my empire is awesome! After the first attacker ran away and cowered behind a peace treaty, my other neighbor attacked me and I wiped them out, well took over their cities anyway. Then proceeded to expand as much as I could via settlers. Of course a great prophet showed up and I had to find out how far and wide I could spread my religion. In retrospect I’m shocked I managed to pull myself away at 3am.
