I am so sick of video gamer misogyny. I'm just as hardcore as the male gamers and the assumption that I'm not pisses me off. What do I need to do to convince people?
You wanna see my Super Metroid stats? Just over seven hours, about 65-70% completion. And that was my save-state-less run. My SS run was five hours. Oh, and I beat Fusion in about four hours.
You wanna hear from some of my old buddies how I kicked their asses at the original ZOE? I could speedrun that one too when I skipped cutscenes. I got it down to under an hour and a half before I returned the game.
I know the names. I love me some Kojima, I loved Miyamoto in his hayday. I can make fun of Tetsuya Nomura's design style just like you can and I think Koji Kondo was a better composer than Uematsu; Copeland was cooler than both of them. I lurk on OC Remix and I still remember how to play "Requiem of Spirit".
I watch speedruns and squealed with joy when I saw someone had posted an under-6-minutes TAS of Mario 64, finally managing to do it with zero stars.
Fuck, I learned to understand a story not from school, but from playing Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest at my friend's house. I'd read the words aloud and my friend's mother would tell me what it meant.
My friend Chelsea once told me I was an artist at platformers (she watched me play Sly Cooper 1 during a sleepover). I lower-level run JRPGs, I take pride in my completionist runs of platformers, I can own anyone at SSX 3 in both races and tricks, and I am getting pretty good at FPS games.
I've owned ten game systems in my lifetime: an NES, SNES, N64, PSX, two PS2s (an original and a slim), a NGC, NDS, NGC, and NGB (those old clunky bastards). Eleven if you count my PC. Soon to be twelve if all goes well and we get a used 360 for the holidays. (Prices are down to $175. That's with the hard drive. I KNOW RIGHT?)
So, in summary: In what way am I not a gamer, you sexist, generalizing motherfuckers?
