Cats vs. Socks

YouTube Link

Is there anything more ambiguously evil and threatening than a sock? Not to these cats. They recoil in horror, try to capture and conquer, stalk and pounce, but still, they don't appear to be winning the battle. Imagine their disgust during the holidays when their humans open up package after package of brand new terror. Oh, the humanity. Via Tastefully Offensive

One of our cats, Chlorrie (Chlorine) has a favourite rolled-up sock which she carries around like a doll. Her sister Florrie (Fluorine) shows no interest at all.
Claud, on the other hand, attacks socks vigorously, but only when there are toes in them.

I don't think there's a viable business model in "gaming for girls".

For the VERY few girls that actually get into games as 99.999999999% of boys - it's a loss leader to cater to girl games in general.

I've actually seen a girl gamer quit mid-level so she could go paint her toes. Meanwhile, I've seen guys eat ramen for a month so they would have enough money to get the latest game on the day it's released.

Its funny, because I'm a girl and you posted an image from my favorite game. I have beat that game on every origin story. I LOVE the battles, but honestly, I went through it so many times to hear the different converstaions...and to get the achievements of course.

I would say I am just into video games as my husband. We both enjoy all levels of games. We play COD3 a lot, but at the same time, we arent above enjoying a casual game.

I can be girly too, but Ive never quit a video game to "go do girl stuff." I like wearing nice clothes and all, but I would pay my mortgage late to get New Vegas the night it comes out. I failed one of my classes the semester fallout came out.

That having been said, I've never met another girl like me in real life.

correction..

dragon age is one of my favorie games...not my favorite.

Also, I think the article itself is a little sexist. It implys that girls are, what, too sensitive to enjoy the things men do in a video game? I enjoy The Sims too from time to time, but that doesnt mean I don't enjoy running over hookers in GTA3 also. Why do gamers have to be pigeonholed into a category.

The game industry is changing... slowly. I'm in it, I now work with more females than I did 2 years ago and way more than I did 4 years ago.

The change will come slowly and in 2 steps. 1. realize there is money to be made off women in games (just happened thanks to casual games and social games) 2. wait for that realization to propagate throughout industry (guessing 10 years)
