Who will kick your ass at HALO! Heh! :D

Ah, Halo, how I miss thee... My mom (in Maryland, on the other side of the country from me) won't let me have my X-box because she likes to play Pacman and Space Invaders on it. :rolleyes:

So, the other day I was hanging out with some guy friends, and mentioned that I play NS. They all reacted along the lines of, "OMG you play NS? But you're a girl!!" :rolleyes: I thought this was rather odd, but when I asked them about their reactions, all they could come up with was that girls don't play video games, and they especially don't play political ones. They also thought I'd be uncomfortable participating in this kind of forum, simply because I'm female. I know that a lot of girls don't play video games of any sort, but surely it's not so uncommon these days that it would merit that kind of reaction?

For the women on here that have been around longer than I have - what do you think? Do you generate these kinds of reactions too, especially with regards to NS?

EDIT: I'd like male reactions too. Guys - do you think it's weird/unusual for women to play video games?

Most people at my school have no idea what NS is. They also have no idea what the internet is.

Or what Halo is. Not that I like it, it's over-hyped, but that's just it, you'd think they'd know.

Of course, they could name the entire cast of The Real World in their sleep. :rolleyes:

We just got MTV, so it's only started to infiltrate us. We have Much, which is Canada's silly equivelent. We've also got MuchMoreMusic, which is what I watch. It's not really music either, but it has better shows, like Listed.

LOL. Yea, she has Pacman, Ms. Pacman, Space Invaders (known on this disc as Galaga and Galaxian - couldn't tell you the difference between the two to save my life), Dig Dug and Pole Position. For that, she won't let me have my X-box. :p

You know, that show on MTV that's supposedly about "real life situations" that's actually staged and all played by actors and is thus entirely unbelieveable? Yeah, that one.

EDIT- Not meant as a flame. I really hate "The Real World"...
