On the website of Kotaku, an article concerned with how to get your girlfriend into gaming was released recently. It gave us a summary of how to get your girlfriend into gaming world.
The details are as below:
Just for the record, readers, I\'m here as a Plebeian (and I heart that word) �C with a normal three-day pass I paid for with my own hard-earned money. I\'m also hanging out with three friends and am subject to what they want to do, not what I want to cover. I have not once pulled rank as a Kotaku correspondent to score free shit or get into crowded events (okay, maybe once, but that was for The Conduit, which you can read about tomorrow).
You want PAX press coverage, you keep an eye out for Crecente\'s posts �C he\'s the one with the official yellow pass. You want to know what you would go through if you were here at PAX, you read my stuff. Because I am you.
Now �C onto another girl-centric panel; I\'ve got a theme going, in case you can\'t tell. This little feminist number features advice from real girl gamers directed at guy gamers who are still stuck with crabby girlfriends that can\'t understand the \"no, I can\'t go out tonight, I\'m in the middle of a raid\" excuse.
As panels go, this was one of the better ones because most of the questions were asked by the audience (and the sound quality in the room didn\'t blow). It was also one of the longer panels because people really got into the topic (also a plus). So if you can\'t be arsed to scroll down through this long (and paraphrased) transcription, here\'s a summary:
1) Give your girl a game that\'s tailored to her interests; don\'t force her to play a game just because you like it.
2) Play co-op, not competitive. Some girls are unnerved by 13-year-old trash-talkers.
3) Don\'t force her to identify herself as a gamer; it\'s enough that she\'s playing a game.
4) Spend as much time doing what she wants to do in her life as you expect her to spend time gaming with you (basic rule of relationships).
5) Don\'t act like an asshole while you\'re gaming �C it makes games into the enemy.
6) Don\'t belittle her choices of game; maybe she likes Barbie\'s Horse Adventure.
7) Let her backseat game you and don\'t argue with what she tells you to do; if she tells you to make Master Chief jump to his death, just do it �C it\'ll be fun for her and get her one step closer to trying it herself. (That\'s my own personal rule.)
The panelists (from the program, so any misspellings aren\'t my fault):
Christa Phillips (Xbox Live Community Manager)
Jane Pinckard (Editor-in-Chief, GameGirlAdvance)
Cori Roberts (Editor, Gameinatrix)
Shelby Wills (Producer, Pipeworks Software)
Nicole Tanner (Director of PR & Marketing, Foundation 9 Entertainment)
As if new races, worlds, cities, dungeons, mounts, and professions weren't enough, the expansion will also enhance the game with a wide number of small innovations that will add up to a significantly improved gaming experience. From the new Looking for Group feature to the updated Character Sheet to an incredible number of new enemy models, the game millions around the world are enjoying is about to become even better.
