What it’s like being a gamer girl
Many people may think it’s not a big deal to be a female that play games on a console , however it’s a lot of fun . Guys hate losing to females , they’ll even message me and say I’m no good just because they lost to me ! When you have a mic and start talking some guys go crazy ! They can’t believe they’re talking to a female . I’ve gotten really good at it the first couple of weeks my boyfriend got me the console . Growing up my brothers had consoles and they would always say I couldn’t play because it’s not something girls should do , but man were they wrong . I would recommend every female that wants to become a gamer girl do it ! It will not be a mistake . Being a gamer girl is more than being a gamer girl , it makes you feel like a bad girl lol if that makes sense. Never let a guy tell you that you’re too girly to play games on a console or that you shouldn’t play . Of course it’s a biased thing to say , but a female can do ANYTHING a male can do .

DECEIT - Why Girl Gamers Aren't Welcomed
I have been a member of the online gaming world since the first “Cow Box” (READ: Gateway Computer) found a home in our Upper West Side apartment when I was 16 years old. To put it in perspective, that was the year 1999. Ancient, right? It was a literal marvel to me that after listening to the cacophony of electronic sounds that signaled your AOL internet connection being established, I could cruise the world wide web. Of course, these were the glory days of sites that resembled a black sheet of construction paper littered with oddly spinning cartoon characters and neon words…but none of that mattered. We were connected to something larger than ourselves. We were connected to each other while absent in body. We rode a highway filled with information that could be accessed by mere keystrokes. Entertainment possibilities were expanded to epic proportions in a swiftly evolving creature that crawled through wires and over airwaves.

My Love For Gaming
Ever since I was in sixth grade, I have loved gaming. It all started when my grandparents bought my grandpa a PlayStation to entertain him after retirement. That gaming system became something my sister and I played almost religiously every weekend that we would go over there. Which was actually EVERY weekend. Grandpa didn’t play it, but Grandma would love it when we would come over and she could watch us. I remember her sitting behind us while we played games like 2-Xtreme, Tomba and Crash Bandicoot.

A Female Perspective on "Ellie"
In the wake of the recent Overwatch Contenders scandal/bullshit, I just want to talk about some of my experiences with online gaming as a female. Maybe this way, no one else will feel compelled to conduct a "social experiment" that could potentially set women-in-professional-gaming back years.

Video Games That Are Great for Girls. Top Story - October 2018.
Though a minority of gamers are female, that minority is a significant one–and growing. There's no denying the facts and statistics. While women make up very little of the user base for sports-based video games like FIFA, their numbers are much more significant in other video game genres, ranging from adventure to fantasy to strategy and beyond. However, the industry still overwhelmingly caters to a male user base. Oftentimes, women are ignored by gaming companies, making some games unfriendly or simply ridiculous to some women. But on the other hand, there are just a handful of video games that are great for girls (and guys), for one reason or another.

Female Game Developers You Need to Know
It's no secret that gaming, on both the creation and consumption sides, have overwhelmingly been thought of as male spheres. With growing numbers of women pursuing their interests in gaming though, those numbers are changing. From the powerful and impressive veterans whose success paved the way for these changes, to the dedicated young women who continue to prove their place in the industry, understanding why women game developers matter so much cannot be discounted. Here are some of those impressive female video game developers who are helping to change the industry from both sides.

Gamer Girls
So I recently switched from Warframe on PC to Warframe on PS4 because Steam was having issues with my use of a PS4 controller to play. I had to log in and out five times to send/accept friend requests, squad invites, or just to chat via text or voice (actually I never got the voice chat to work at all).
