Title: Girl Gamer Magazine
Post by: sirean_syan on Tuesday, February 12, 2008, 03:44:40 PM
It's real and it's Nintendo's new baby. (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/01/30/girl-gamer-magazine-thinks-its-still-the-1950s/)

I don't know. While it's probably true that Nintendo has a good lock on casual gamers compared to the other big players and, by association, probably the biggest portion of the female gaming population, I don't think they understand why they have it. At least, if this new magazine is has come from their understanding of their success, then they're probably wrong.

Wow, that's sad.  And what's even more sad is I was just going to say "I wonder what <X> website would say about that?" and then realized I couldn't remember the name of whatever girl-centric gaming website it was I was thinking of.  I know there's one good one that has some reviews and junk that are well-written and such, so I went looking for it to remember the name... and I found about 8 other sites, all of which pretty much epitomized the kind of dreck that magazine seems to be spouting.  I'm disillusioned now.

Yeah, that's bullshit.  If I ever found my wife or girlfriend reading that garbage I'd beat the crap out of her for neglecting the house work.  Idle hands.....
