  1. I’m a guy and I play(ed) shooters (of course) ;-).
    The some strategy games like C&C, hack and slay like Diablo II and World of Warcraft.
    I think I am the typical heman-gamer but I really don’t care as long as I have fun.

    1. I also played my share of C&C-like games, and hack’n’slay, though I somehow did miss the Diablo craze! Never tried WoW either, but that happened on purpose! 🙂

      And hey, of course, FUN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF GAMING! 🙂

  2. Kudos! I think the “girl gamer” hater is reactionary. In an attempt to separate themselves from girls who aren’t gamers, some eschew the title entirely. But I think your approach is far more balanced and honest. Being a “girl gamer” doesn’t mean you’re bad at games, but it does recognize that you may approach certain games from a different perspective than males. That’s not a good or bad thing, and we shouldn’t be scared to acknowledge it.

  3. Thanks for your awesome comment!

    “I think the “girl gamer” hater is reactionary. In an attempt to separate themselves from girls who aren’t gamers, some eschew the title entirely.” I couldn’t have said this better myself – in fact, I tried but I wasn’t sure how to get it across!

  4. I have to admit I’m curious if you’ve ever fallen for pen & paper games. Sounds like you’re a bit the type for it. The girl-geek that enjoys communication ;).

    1. Yeah that would be awesome. I don’t know if I could keep up with a regular pen&paper schedule though. I have read the whole DSA manual when I was a kid, but never played until the Nordlandtrilogie hit the PC. Probably my most-played game ever was Part 2, Sternenschweif. Last time I played was 2009 or so. 🙂 I’m probably not well enough in the know about the rules for a pen & paper game though…

  5. My apologies, but I doubt that you need rules to play. It’s not that different from boardgames, unless you’re starting a whole new gaming table, you will learn by doing with the others together. If you’re interested I’m pretty sure you’ll find something for trying. (If we ever meet, I’m pretty sure I’m simply give you a spoken invitation as soon as I’m back into playing).
    It’s something you should try – if my instincts don’t fool me I sincerely bet you would fall for it ;).

    1. That’s what I’m afraid of – FALLING for another time-consuming hobby! 😉

      I’ll keep that in mind! I always got the impression that the PC ports did most of the “rule-work” for you…
