Do Girls Like Video Games?
This article ponders the decade old question “Do Girls Like Video Games?”.
FTA:
…Many male gamers find themselves wondering where the women are hiding
The article is long, but the question is interesting.
This was my response.
My fav games? Call of Duty, 4, 5 and hopefully soon 6. I loved Gears of War 1 & 2. Loved all the Halos. Love the Rainbow Six series. I love playing online (Nazi Zombies in COD5?!?!).
We’re not hiding under a rock, and if you give me an RPG I’d probably ask if you thought I was 10. (I’m 26 btw)
The thing is… I avoid talking to anybody online. Why? Because 95% of people there either revert back to being 13 year old homophobic douchebags or are just douchebags.
I don’t mind hearing swearing, and most people there don’t care. But the attitude people have when they play, is almost disgusting. To be honest, I am not interested in the pissing match that usually goes on there.
Simply put: grow up, and we’ll start speaking up.
What do you think?
The big Picture - 2009 UN World Drug Report.
Sarab village resident and opium addict Islam Beg offers his opium pipe to his grandson in the Badakhshan province of Afghanistan.Some of these are so disturbing, so horrible… I felt sick just by looking at these photos. The ones that say warning are the worst, there’s one with a naked man hanging from a bridge, and another guy who’s brains were blown out by a gunshot wound. Geesh. Sobering afternoon stuff?.
Tickets to watch the Venezuela Youth Symphony Orchestra and Gustavo Dudamel (see video) were at least 300$. So I got tickets to watch the Venezuelan Brass Ensemble, while it won’t be as awesome, its still great to support Venezuelan musicians.

Photo Set of the Day: In a series of photos called “Midway,” Chris Jordan, featured previously for “Gyre” — his massive piece of eco-awareness artwork — captures the heartrending plight of the albatross chicks who call the Great Pacific Garbage Patch home:
The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking.

Paolo Nutini, singing some blue eyed soul.
Love his music. I even bought (yes bought) his albums. So so good.
