Discussion: Gamer Girls – How Desperate Are We?

Dave "Boris" Orosz — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 07:55:06 +0000

I heard about a site called GameCrush.com when I was at PAX this past year and really thought nothing of it, foolishly figuring it would die rather quickly. The concept is that, at a per minute rate designated by the person on the site, a gamer can log in and have a “play date” with a man or woman (mostly women) on the PC, Xbox, or PS3 playing whatever games the date is offering. To my blatantly naïve shock, the site seems to be actually doing quite well and I can’t help but ask the question, how desperate are we? The site’s success obviously proves that there’s a demand for the escort gamer, but what is it that’s generating this demand? What are your opinions in the following matters? The site is constantly being a advertised as a place to play games with hot girls, so addressing the “elephant in the room” question, are gamer girls really that elusive that they can’t be found without paying $36/hr? There’s a large percentage of gamers who are women, about 40% according to the ESA three years ago. There are bound to be even more today. Let’s ignore for a moment that most people probably use GameCrush as a means of trying to get in some dirty conversation with a hot babe gamer and ask an otherwise ignorant question. How big of a problem is it to find girls to interact with when playing casually on the online multiplayer games we already play? I’ve heard of numerous gamer girls who hide their gender to avoid harassment when they play online. Is this happening so much though that people will pay just to knowingly have a woman there that they can play with and talk to, especially on a site that’s not set up to cater to nudity or adult content passing between their members? I’m not bashing on people looking for conversation and relationships, nor am I questioning people’s desire to have consistent friends they can play games with. I have to assume that this site traffics more than just those people who want the naughty pleasures and arousal that’s too obvious to really discuss here. I have to assume that the site traffics some who genuinely want a companion to play with. Online games today all have integrated match making features so that you can play with anyone whenever you want, and the consoles have friends lists dedicated to keeping track of the people you want to play with the most. Isn’t this enough without people needing some sort of gaming escort service to ensure that we’ll have people to play with? I guess with that said, is it difficult to find people to play with that aren’t total dickwads, male or female? Are these online lobbies so devoid of people worth while talking to that we are forced to pay people to be civil or human? Are all games just too jam packed with busting, tea bagging, shit talking, perverts that...

Stage Select Podcast: World 2-1 (Score: 12)

It’s the first Stage Select of the new season, and do we have a treat for you. Joining Rob, Boris, Jason and Jon are Zvarri and our special guest host from PSNation, Torgo! With such a full crowd, what could go wrong? For anyone who doesn’t know the structure of the Stage Select, let’s recap. All the questions come directly from our listeners. Each time we successfully get through a question, we get 1 point. We are known for our wild tangents and disagreements though, so the challenge we pose to the audience is this: Ask questions that take so long to answer that we can’t get through them fast enough. This episode also topples the old Stage Select all time high score of 11! 12 is the new number to beat. Do you have the questions it takes? Submit them at the VGevo GameCrashers Stage Select submission forum or email them to CrashCast@gamecrashers.net with the subject line “Stage Select Topic”. High Score: 12 World 2-1 Score: 12 1 Point – ESRB double standards: “intense violence, blood and gore” just a “Mature” rating, any graphic sexual content “Adults Only”. (from ChryZ) 2 Points – Are war based first person shooters with a semi realistic premise modern day propaganda? (from ChryZ) 3 Points – Bluray for PS3, worth it or caused its price too much damage? (from ChryZ) 4 Points – Would you sacrifice framerate for prettier graphics? (from Plankfan) 5 Points – Would you rather open world games be shorter and released with fewer bugs to patch, or do you prefer the current trend of releasing larger open world games with more bugs that need to be patched later? (from BorisTI) 6 Points – Do all movie games suck or are we just being naysayers? (from hedge1001) 7 Points – Are anime style games becoming less frequent or do we as a whole just ignore them? (from hedges1001) 8 Points – How long until Nolan North appears on SNL? (from BorisTI) 9 Points – Was the original XBOX controller the worst in history? (from biffstix) 10 Points – Where do you think the industry would be today if online multiplayer didn’t exist? (from bettertomorrow) 11 Points – Over the years have you kept all the boxes your consoles and classic games came in? (from bettertomorrow) 12 Points – What does a next generation mean to the next generation of gaming? (from BorisTI) And here’s the Jesse Schell keynote Boris was mentioning during the final question: Thanks again to everyone who sent us questions. Without them, this podcast wouldn’t exist.

And welcome to another episode, filled with great games, stupid news and E3 heartache. Boris takes his turn at the helm while Rob takes a well needed break.

Oh really Nintendo? - Source -E3 is limiting the number of media invitations sent to smaller web venues. So much for the independent voice of the people – Source -Blitz Games Studio is making the first, fully realistic Kinect based swimming game with Michael Phelps, minus the water… I hope – Source -THQ’s Brian Farrell says that the “See the Movie, Play the Game” campaign isn’t selling.
