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.

So I made a poorly sketched out thing. It a bad photo from my phone, but the text says “I wish there was more women in gaming.”

When my girlfriend Mandy shared this site with me, I immediately thought of this great picture of us from late 2008, snuggled up on the couch playing Chrono Trigger.
Thanks for the submit, oh nameless awesome person. You have a very big couch. =D

When I’m gaming (console), I tend to not only be fully clothed as you mentioned, but also sporting a Snuggie :) My brother got both me and my sister ones for Christmas a couple years ago specifically for having our arms free to play games.

Nice! Snuggie totally the perfect solution. <3

My grandma is a little Italian lady who used to chain smoke like crazy. One day I gave her an old NES and Super Mario Bros., though we figured she probably wouldn’t even play it. Not only did she play it absurdly well, she became obsessed with it – so much so that she stopped smoking because she was too busy playing. After her heart surgery a few years later, her doctor said that had she continued smoking the damage to her heart would most likely have been irreparable. I’m proud to say that gaming saved my grandma’s life.

This is incredible! Turns out computer games are incredibly good at distracting the brain from all sorts of things, from cravings to panic and depression.<3<3<3
