I think it took me about 2-3 months before I even had a day where I cracked 50 hits.<br /><br />Not to be too tough on the new kid in class here, but I'm willing to forgive more than a few of the stuff that falls under criticism because, well - she's new. I remember back when I first started playing and trying to find some way to finagle my Hunter's tree into including "counterattack" from the Survival tree because it looked sooooooo 1337. I've had other stupid inclinations as well, likely too numerous to name, but we all learn and grow out of em.<br /><br />So, yeah. I think she's definitely got something if she takes the "girlfriend of WoWaholic decides if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" angle and chronicles her learning curve. There's a whole lot of WoW Girlfriends (and WoWwives, I have one of those!) out there who would likely appreciate the heck out of that angle.<br /><br />(off the top of my head,) Neggles. Runycat. Phaelia. Bellweather. Braids. While some of the above might be in retirement (semi, or otherwise) at present, I'd say that's a good start to a listing of WoW Women... and I could probably find about two dozen other fine female-written WoW blogs (I.E. "Tank Like a Girl") in 10 minutes time if I looked, just that you might not recognize the character names.<br /><br />So, pioneering? No. Definite niche potential? Heck yeah. Me, jealous of her getting moar meter hits right out of the chute? Also affirmative. :P I'm interested to see if it's still going strong in 2-3 months.Ribeye / Manchegohttp://toomanyalts.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065135122624892361.post-37396105146507468582009-04-30T15:46:00.000-04:002009-04-30T15:46:00.000-04:00just read through it, I am hoping that she eventua...just read through it, I am hoping that she eventually leaves all the "Ima Girl" stuff on the floor, she seems to be writing from a perspective that she is one of the only girls who play the game.

One used her sex to get what she wanted constantly - even to the point where she started pulling it on me. When I continued to say no, she replied "Oh, I'll just go to A" - the (male) GM. I've never wanted to punch someone more in my life.<br /><br />@ Annie<br />Agreed. She writes well, her premise is just lack luster - plus selling her waist does *not* buy her many fellow female-blogger fans.<br /><br />I think Piccard is the better Cap't, but there is something about Kirk that makes me root for him every time :)Negathlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00102603036116849711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065135122624892361.post-52397501797437166762009-04-29T09:28:00.000-04:002009-04-29T09:28:00.000-04:00But that new Star Trek movie comin out looks very ...But that new Star Trek movie comin out looks very good<br />i lean more to Star wars , but this looks to good to pass up <br />Lt.

It was relatively insulting, so I kept it private, but I was very angry. I feel you.<br /><br />And I'm also just like you - I have a discernable waist (loled at that), love sexual innuendo, discuss dorky things, and enjoy the occasional cute, fluffy animal. But for some reason, certain females who believe themselves to be the "popular girly girl" like to make it sound as if all women are "gurlz" and that they're the epitome. And apprently, if you're not just like them and have nail-painting parties and fashion shows all week, and generally being self-possessed, you're not a real girl. Well - here's how I see it. I'm not a "real" girl. I'm a REAL WOMAN. And I'm alllllll woman, baby.<br /><br />They can have the "gamr gurl" title. I'll take the "gamer" title and be a woman like always.Nassirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05037139892790349682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065135122624892361.post-66516774536112479162009-04-29T08:29:00.000-04:002009-04-29T08:29:00.000-04:00Heheh , i got a coworker ( girl ) friend of mine o...Heheh , i got a coworker ( girl ) friend of mine on it. WoW is like crack for the imaginative . I should know , i have a story behind my character ( which i need to post on my blog one day ).<br /><br />But i find it kinda relaxing that i can share something with a future girlfriend one day ( if i can find a good one ). This is a game and we are suppose to have fun . <br /><br />The only bad thing bout the whole girl thing is , i find my character getting flirted with by some weirdo. but sometimes i play along then crash his hopes later . its fun and ppl like that should not assume anything .Zalennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07728384955145928362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065135122624892361.post-15161071444403996482009-04-29T07:46:00.000-04:002009-04-29T07:46:00.000-04:00Oh, the official forums are dangerous - they make ...Oh, the official forums are dangerous - they make me want to write answers that would get me flamed into infinity :D<br /><br />All I can say is that I hope she'll drop the "real girl" tag, and focus on "new to WoW" with a bit of an anthropology angle instead.<br /><br />I bet there are many female gamers/gaming bloggers out there, going "Huh?
