Women In Gaming
Since the beginning, gaming has most often been associated with guys. Guys made the games; guys played the games; guys played the games starring a bunch of guys. But right now, almost half of gamers are women...How did this happen?

Women are just one big game that no one has been able to beat yet!? OMG!!!! BAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
a video about women in videogames and no april ryan mention? the longest journey proved you could have a woman in a game that wasnt a one dimensional sex symbol like laura croft.
And not a single "girls love to play with joysticks" joke Jeremiah, such a wasted opportunity ^_-
That story about Lara Croft originally being a male character but CORE changed him to avoid comparisons with Indiana Jones. For years i've been trying to find out if the original premise was actually supposed to be a 3D Rick Dangerous game (which would kinda fit) but theres no info anywhere.
BTW, can you give me a shout sometime Mr. Black, been meaning to have a word for ages!
yeah, ha ha, I decided to leave all the low level "joystcik" freudianism on the cutting room floor. I don't about the Lara Croft/ Rick Dangerous connection. But I've read many, many interview with the game's creator who swears that he came up with the idea of making her female based on watching all his guy friends in the office prefer playing girl characters in fighting games. The interesting part is that she was originally called Laura Cruz, and was a South American woman, but then they made her British so us Yanks would dig her more. Anyway, I'll shoot you an email tomorrow an we'll catch up.
great episode!
btw, you spelled "atari" wrong when you previewed "river raid" it's spelled "atrai" by accident
just so you know
Arrrggghhh, yeah, another typo. I think that's two accidental typos in a row for me on the last two episodes. Sigh. Well, thanks for paying close attention! I guess that's a compliment at least. :)
YAY! New episode!
Keep them coming...they're the best shows on the internet.
