Hah, how sexist of him.
Girl gamers may be few and far between, but one working at a game store most of the time knows as much as any guy. Trust me, I am one.

There are a lot fewer girl gamers than guy ones, and you can be pretty sure a girl knows her stuff if she admits to being one. And working at a game store is usually an admition of geekdom Unless she just works there for the discount for her boyfriend? I guess that could happen. I'm pretty lucky though, I work with books but still get an employee discount at a game store chain. (We own them. W00t!)

The EB near here is a joke now. >< It use to be cool a few years back. All the employees were gamer geeks and they actually got to know the regulars. Plus they had tons of games and neat stuff.

Now their selection is *awful*, you can't find anything there if it's not for the PS2. Its also staffed by mainly by women now, oddly. But not gamergirls, just females who I guess were hired just to say "Hey we have women!" or something. They know utterly nothing about games and always have this glazed over "Ew, nerds!" look on their face.

Another girl gamer here - we're strategically scattered in readyness for a pincer movement shhhh....

Then consider me a happy prisoner of war.

(Get your mind out of the gutter. I'd rather play a game with a girl gamer than a teenage boy who swears every third word just to make himself sound cool.)

Another girl gamer here, checking in. Actually met my husband online in Asheron's Call. Yes, we are total geeks.
