Having an XX gene in the gaming world can be quite ... annoying.

10 Things Girls that Game Go Through
Martin Driver

As a female, the things I've been told over and over and over again are, at this point, just plain comical. If you are a male, please takes notes: No, I'm not making you a sandwich, no my boyfriend did not teach me, no, I will not add you.


1) Yes, I cannot tell you who was the character in Metroid's 1991's second boss' grandmother's dog name.

Why does knowing such specific details in games I'm trying to enjoy somehow dictates my level of skills? Just because I can't recall a minuscule detail doesn't mean I'm "not legit".... How does that even correlate?


2) You sound like a 12-year-old boy. Are you sure you're a girl?

No, my Y chromosome never activated. And unless I've been lying to myself, I think I know what is in my pants.


3) What size are your boobs?

This one always makes me laugh. Why? Are yours bigger?

4) *Dies once*

"Do you need help? Follow me, I'll protect you. You need to hid when this happens. You can't charge in like that! You need to aim high. Jum close to me here's ammo, I got you. Let me be your boyfriend."

Oh dear God.


5) "COD is the only game you own. LOL. You're an attention whore"

And if it was, what is it to you? I happen to like FPS. The amount of games I play and the amount of games I own is none of your business. Unless you wanna buy some games to add to my collection, you have no right to talk about what is on my shelf.


6) "Go Make me a sandwich"

Go fix my sink then.

Whenever I got told this, it makes me think what year does this dude think it is? And that he needs to update his joke book. I don't even find this offense, I just wanna help you find your way back to your common sense again.


7) How the males on the other side see me.



8)What I'm Really Doing.

I'm playing to relax after a stressful day. Don't add to what I'm trying to get rid off.


9) No GameStop sales rep, I know what I'm looking for, I know what it does. Yes, I'm sure I wanna get this...No, this is not for my boyfriend.

I hate when I walk into a Gamestop to get a new game, hard wear or just to ask a question and I feel all eyes on me. No, I'm not here because I'm with a male friend. I genuinely need to ask something/buy.


10) I am a Gamer Girl

No, I am not a gamer girl. I am gamer. I play games... Just because what is in our pants are different does not dictate anything. Calling me a "GamerGirl" indicates that there are distinct species of gamers...I happen to be good at some games, I happen to suck at other games. I'm a "n00b" in some games and I'm a beast at other games. Get used to it.

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.
