Four Men and a Gaming Lady
I've had some lovely and hilarious mails and comments in response to the last post:
"Thank you for the articulate discourse on women in gaming (I followed a link from boingboing); it's everything I've been telling my significant other and his idiot friends for the last five years."
"My daughter is a gamer ... she hates being the only girl in the shop and having to whoop someone's butt for them to realize she is there to play and not to support some random guy."
Mission for the last day of E3: play more Resident Evil 4, find and photograph as many Booth Boyz as I can. Don't expect huge numbers there, more's the pity. Find lots of examples of games being the alternative but massively glamourous narrative source: there's lots there for that. Vin Diesel (Chronicles of Riddick) owns the game company that made the game. He's a player, too. Max Payne 2 is being touted as a 'film noir love story'. Star Wars Battleground is selling itself as 'you've watched the movie.. now live it".
Going to hunt out more...
Resident Evil 4...
