It’s snowy again. -.-
Taking photos is more difficult because my hands are so cold and shaky, it’s awful. Also I think it creates weird lighting effects.. It doesn’t look very good.
It is -12°C at the moment and it’s prettybright outside.
Photos from yesterday:
I thought I would write a bit about girls gamers from my perspective, because my experience seems to be rather different than the ones I have been reading about.
This video on the topic is interesting.
I don’t totally agree though, personally I dislike those games aimed at girls made by Ubisoft, they seem really patronising. Games about shopping, pets, “babyz“, cooking.. Ugh. I think making these low quality pink-fluffy-glitter-pony games for girls doesn’t help the problem, it’s sexist and insulting.
I played video games with my friends a lot when I was younger, most of whom had consoles of their own and played regularly. (random side note: The only time I felt weird about it was going into a game store, I would never see other girls and people would stare at me like an alien just walked in) We would usually all want to play as a female characters, and in games where less female characters were available it would be a race to select them. :| But other than that, we played anything regardless of whether it was a game ~made for guys~ like Dead Or Alive supposedly is.
A lot of people online seem to act like there are 2 types of gamer, the hardcore (male) ones and “casual” (female) gamers, which I find irritating. I like playing Bejewelled and Pet Society on facebook but I also love Bioshock – it’s possible to enjoy both!
Finding images for this entry was depressing, most of the images I found to do with women playing video games had captions to show how “stupid” and unskilled they were, or they were naked girls covered in controllers & games. Google image search “girl gamers” or “girls playing video games” to see what I mean..
I’ve been playing games a lot lately, since Christmas I have finished, in the follwing order, Bioshock, WET, Prince of Persia, Bayonetta, Gears of War 2 and I have almost finished Resident Evil 5!
I like playing co-op with Marius a lot, I think our styles are very different, he usually goes very close to enemies using a shotgun, I’m more cautious and stay back with machine gun/rifle. Also he doesn’t think about health at all, whereas I always try to keep mine high.
I am feeling so unwell at the moment :(
I am worried that I need to get my wisdom teeth removed. Arghhh.
I wish I was more calm, I also tend to get more anxious at night, which is why I think I have nightmares so often.
Bayonetta should arrive on Monday ;) I can’t wait to play it, I really liked the demo
I wish her head wasn’t so small though!
I’ve been with Marius for 3 years as of today!
And we’ve been living in Germany together for around a year now. :)
Our last anniversary wasn’t very enjoyable.. We were in my parents house, all the pipes had frozen and we couldn’t go anywhere because the car wouldn’t start.
It’s very cold right now, with a lot of snow, don’t know if I want to bother going out xD But I think we will go to a restaurant this evening
