  Being a female gamer

  You know what I have noticed about being a female gamer and posting on forums? Everyone assumes your a male! Even after you tell them they assume your a fake and just a male possing as a female.

  It saddens me that people still run around with the stereotype of "Females dont play games" especially when I know my knowledge of sega and "certain"characters excels well over most.

  Does everyone expect us to run round buying games like Barbie Horse Adventures and playing Cooking mama? Naaaah mate Im the sort that grabs games like Siren, Silent hill, resident evil, Halo series, Sonic series, mario, metriod, Zelda, Condemned, Splinter cell series, Dark messiah, Dungeon siege the list goes on and I finish them all within 3 days.

  Hmmm I bet you lot have already said "picture or it didnt happen"in your head.

  Thought so...

  Rant next time might be on my annoyance with the sonic fanbase and how they except any old crud thrown on a packet or it might be on people who give rubbish 10/10 reviews to games and say things like "the gameplay is rubbish, sound effects are abit odd and the music is meh BUT SONIC IS IN IT" oh... thats the same rant.

  Flash games

  Hey! Your girl here... ahhh whatever.

  Anyway Im here to moan about gamemaking. Right now Im doing all the animation for a game I am making and being a animation obsessive im trying to get them to at least mickey mania quality so im going to be a while before I actally get to the actual game bit but what bothers me is the program I am making the game with.

  Its a game program called Gamemaker. Its a brilliantly easy program which can be extremely flexible when you figure out how to program the thing. Its just I havent seen many examples of good games that have been made with the program even though it is capable of doing so.

  Im just worried that not making a game with Flash or the overly bleedin complicated XNA studios will hinder the games 0.9% in being noticed like homemade games like Braid and Castle crashers (I think). After all we all want our games to be noticed dont we?

  Gamespots new look

  I gave it a while so i could work out that i wasnt just suffering from "hate of change".... but it hasn't work.

  I Hate the new look. The old Gamespot was one of my favourite looking sites and now its all cluttered. I liked my black colour scheme... now its all grey and rubbish.

  No! Why cant we chose our own skin? I dislike it.... pah
