Spring Break!

I'm sure there are going to be a lot of posts about spring break this week from my fellow ENG 105 class bloggers. What else could be an easier topic? Of course most of them will have something exciting to say. Me, I'm at my parent's house for the week. I've started it off with getting my hair dyed, very happy about. I'm now a red brunette, instead of part blonde, part orange brown. That's that I get for letting my dye fade and my natural hair come back. Now it's fixed and, though I'm not entirely, I think it's sexy. Everyone else is blonde or brunette, I've done something unique in my opinion.
On the flip side, I brought my xbox 360 so my dad and I can do some gaming. We stayed up till 2am last night playing, I don't think there are many people that can say they had fun gaming with their parents and that they stayed up as late. We're trying out this game called Army of Two. While incredibly violent like most army games, you have to laugh at some of the lines in it. It's amazing to have a game where you are forced to work with your partner and actually do team work. I think the best part so far has been being able to drag your team mate out of battle when he's wounded and then patch him up. Much more realistic than the dying then suddenly your alive again.
It's a game I highly recommend.

Gamer Chicks

Every girl understands the consequences when she goes into an online game. We're either going to get teamed up with the jerks that think we're fat and ugly dykes or we end up the guys that feel like they have to do better than us and if they can't keep up they disappear. On the other hand, we can end up with the guy that suddenly becomes obsessive. "Oh my god, it's a girl! We have to become friends! What's your name? Where do you live? Can I have your number?"
Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have the creeper stalker than the jerk cause the stalker at least tries to work with me. It just gets annoying. Rarely can we find guys that are just cool with us, accept the fact that we're girls and team well. If guys would just understand we like this type so much better, we'd be able to like them more and enjoy playing with them (or against).
We're slowly starting to get accepted into the gaming world, but we're still having to prove ourselves. Thankfully there's groups like the Fragdolls that are a nationally playing , all female, team that can show guys that we can play. Then there's also the comic Ctrl+Alt+Del (you may have seen in the name my links list) that deals with all sorts of gaming subjects. It makes fun of them, it compliments them, and it even has created a "religion" based solely on gaming through one of the main characters. My favorite thing about it besides it being funny is the incorporation of the gamer chick. Leah is portrayed as an even better gamer than her crazy obsessed with gaming, boyfriend. I just in general love how much she is shown kicking ass.
Girl's can play games guys, get over it.
