    Sounds like this chick just got the quest where she has to collect the virginity of 6 college nerds.

    She’s got her work cut out for her.

    Bring the noise.
    Cheers………….

    Man, how much raiding do you gotta do to reach level 100?

    Oh, and women are cooler than WoW any day.

    7 whole levels and proud of it? This girl clearly doesn’t understand men at all. Real girls marry programmers and get their slacker husbands into Molten Core runs.

  • blachawk

    I used to try to do the girl thing before WoW, but she didn’t like it when I and 39 other guys tried to combine our efforts, plunder her, and share her booty equally. It works better with Onyxia.

  • Eso

    But who is cooler than girls? Jesus.

    Girls are fun to play for an hour or two, but I can play WoW much longer. ;)

  • Elistor

    I’m always confused with the “You spend to much time gaming” complaint. Would she prefer they were more like the sterotypical college male? Would it somehow be better if I and my five buddies went out swilling beer and playing pool for 3-4 hours a night? Or I know, we could sit around gossiping, painting our nails, and doing our hair for 3-4 hours a night(with liberal consuption of booze in there somewhere, it is collge after all)!

    Wow I wrote that between calls at work over the last couple hours… apparently I’m bitter about something I’ll have to figure out what.

    However a certain thing concerning six or more boys on my dorm floor has awed me.

    She’s obviously a Freshman. After your first year or so, nothing you see in a dorm will ever “awe” you again.

    (Insert your own joke about ‘chicks’ costing a whole lot more than $15 a month to ‘DING’ etc etc.)

    Level seven is pathetically weak, clearly she is not doing enough to entice one of those Warcrack addicts to discover her meat curtains.

    WoW never gets annoyed when I don’t take out the garbage. WoW doesn’t care that I don’t remember what day of the year I first logged in, and doesn’t expect flowers. WoW doesn’t refuse to let me log in when it’s upset with me, and it never has a headache. WoW doesn’t get irrationally irritible avery 28 days. WoW doesn’t sleep with my best friend and get mad at me when I call it on it.

    WoW’s pretty cool, IMO.

    WoW doesn\’e2\’80\’99t refuse to let me log in when it\’e2\’80\’99s upset with me

    Yeah it does. Ever tried to play after your credit card gets rejected? Of course, you just have to pick out a new one from the stack in your wallet and all is forgiven….

    WoW doesn\’e2\’80\’99t get irrationally irritible avery 28 days.

    No, every 24 hours, around the time we call “the peak cycle”. On the server I used to play on, at least.

    WoW doesn\’e2\’80\’99t sleep with my best friend and get mad at me when I call it on it.

    No, but it does give your loot to that loot whore that clicked “greed” instead of passing on it like everyone agreed. :P

    I’ll let the other people here point out any other parallels. :P

  • Mr_PeaCH

    This strike anyone else a coy troll-job? If so I think she got over. Witness the number of responses eager to straighten her out over the ‘level 100′ gaffe.

  • http://hgamer.blogspot.com Heartless Gamer

    Something tells me this chick will be wishing she was playing WoW the next time she gets drunk and wakes up pregnant.

  • http://blog.funtax.org funtax

    Reading that made my head hurt. Mostly because I always hate it when stupid people make valid arguments.

  • Jurrasic

    The way her whole argument set her up to be hammered in responses (which she was indeed) makes me lean towards ‘troll’ myself.

  • Kemor

    Well, been living in the UK for close to a year now and frankly, in England, for the most part, girls are NOT cooler than WoW (and I don’t think WoW is that cool, so imagine the result!). Most of them are butt-ugly, wired onto the X-Factor, Lost or other TV bullshit most of the day and overall seem to appreciate a high degree of odd “sluttness” (not sure if that’s a word).
    Of course, I imagine the kids can still find couple of “ok” ones, but they are probably part of the girls’ gang or taken already.
    I’m happy that I spent my school years in France, much more interesting overall (even if they usually give you a headache quite fast soon as they start talking about philosophy and social stuff).

    So, to girls of that young age, I’d say: Do some bloody gym and stop giggling in front of that stupid TV, maybe more boys will find you interesting :)

  • Caya

    How cute, Kemor. I’ll be sure to pass that on to my female students – bet they didn’t know that they had to work that hard to grab such a prize as a WOW nerd, which surely are so high in demand that they can take their pick among all the females lining up for their affections.

    What she doesn’t say (but what we all know in our hearts) is that those 6 boys aren’t going to get laid anyway unless cash changes hands, so why shouldn’t they spend their free time playing WoW?

    At least this way, they won’t go blind or grow hair on their palms.

    ahahaha

    Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned…for phat purpz.

  • http://www.camelotherald.com Sanya

    I don’t know what’s funnier – her for not understanding the male of the species to any degree whatsoever… or all the defensive responses.

  • scottj

    I think I love the responses to this blog entry more than the actual article.

  • Elbows

    I realize that there are a lot of your stereotypical “Nerds” playing WoW, but I know a ton of completely normal, attractive, and successful guys who are or at one time were hardcore WoW players.

    More so than any other MMO, WoW has attracted a mainstream crowd, and to be honest, when someone automatically assumes a WoW player can’t get laid, I’m much more likely to think it’s the person who’s saying that who has the problem.

    Sounds like somebody needs the keys on her joypad remapped.

  • Merkwurdigliebe

    Online games are easier to understand, solve, and beat than women. If they want to compete then they should learn to be easier for the average nerd.

  • Merkwurdigliebe

    And why would a woman want a man anyway? Aren’t college girls supposed to be experimenting with other girls?

  • scottj

    I dunno, did you experiment with other guys in college?

    Ah ha, the porn fantasy isn’t so tasty on the other foot, IS IT!

    (maniacal laughter)

  • chabuhi

    Ugh — I’m giving up gaming.

    We really are complete dweebs.

  • Merkwurdigliebe

    Heh, scott hath pwnd me verily. I still don’t see the issue here. Men have always found SOMETHING to do that take away from snuggle time with their wimminz. Football, cards, cars, other sportz and whatnots. Video games just have a childish stigma.

  • Female Gamer

    WoW doesn\’e2\’80\’99t refuse to let me log in when it\’e2\’80\’99s upset with me, and it never has a headache.

    I wanna move to your server! I don’t know which one you play on, but I know it’s not Illidan.

    And what do you call every Tuesday? Oh, right, we get the headaches ….

    When I was in college everyone was playing N64. You’d walk into the guy’s dorm and see room after room open with guys at their controllers. It’s not any different now. I never had an issue getting a guy’s attention when I wanted it and if it took beating him at the game, then that was easy enough to do. ;)
