=== izdubar is now known as MarkDude [09:33] Almost half the people who play computers games in Britain are women, but they often prefer a different type of game http://bit.ly/aRmd3C [09:36] Is this the one that puts the women in their 40s? [09:37] elky: can you see the video? [09:37] I'm arguing with flash at the moment it seems [09:37] or whatever codec it is [09:37] probably with BBC geocoding too [09:38] i just have a black square [09:38] elky, i dunno... i'm a woman/lass/girl/etc in her 20's [09:38] hmm, it should say "go away you foreiger" or words to that effect I think [09:39] anyhow it is showing a car racing game with a 14 year old lad playing it [09:39] and saying his mum plays MahJong [09:39] and saying facebook games like farmeville are for women [09:39] DarkNemesis, so am I, but i recall seeing some research a few months back about women in their 40s being the leading game playing demographic [09:40] AlanBell, ok, so it probably is riffing off the same research I'm thinking about [09:40] elky, ahh ok, well first game i played was green bottles on the bbc micro [09:41] elky: could be. It is basically pointing out that the non-action games industry is pretty big and targeted at women [09:42] AlanBell, it's around the right timeframe for mainstream media. [09:43] some joyful advertiser pointing out all the crap they can sell to women when they are in a "receptive state of mind" [09:43] But yeah, it's interesting how the topic of a game changes who plays it. When it's not about the topics of games that do antisocial things, people who don't like antisocial things play the games. Funny that. [09:43] the advertiser was a woman btw [09:44] As compared to the amount of product placement guys get (which is probably more) I'd say she was asked a leading question to get that comment. [09:45] This is probably not -project discussion though, so lets stop clogging up the logs. [09:45] yup [20:39] And why do nobody not write ? [20:41] loverkiss: this is the project channel for Ubuntu Women, apparently no one has anything to say about work they're doing on the project right now :) [20:45] pleia2 , ;-P === loverkiss is now known as leopard_
