Deep thoughts by Jack Handy

A question of Sexism in gaming brought me to an introspective look.  I bitch alot about not getting invites.  I have the popular games that everyone plays.  I introduced my soon to be hubby to this site and to a clan however he remained to get instant invites, while I twiddle around with Timmies until I msg him (or walk into the other room) and dish that I've been online for an hour, can't get into a room and have been playing with Timmies.  He then joins me to play and clan mates join in.  Why?  Because my MVP hubby is playing.

I tried keeping my mic off.  Maybe it's my attitude?  After several hours of play, someone asked the hubby why I don't speak, he described my current tactic.  There was a lot of "Well I don't do that." response.

There are a few that do invite, the good will Ambassadors, that are gamers that don't care about your skill level, they just want to play. 

I played last night, was MVP, and a male member decided it must be funny to team kill me.  I left the game, oops I was host, and of course, had the hubby to play with.  Granted, I love games other than COD4, but that's the only game the hubby plays. 

I'm pretty far along in Left 4 Dead, but the uncoordinated Timmies do take a toll out on you.  With the help of Timmy, it took 2+hrs per campaign to finish 3 levels on Expert.  It gets tiring you know?

I've come to this synopsis.  Most don't play with me because of my skill level.  I'm NOT MVP all the damn time.  When I AM MVP, I get team killed.  WTF?  Random occurance, but it was degrading.  Personalities will always clash, and I believe some don't play because of that issue which is perfectly human.

I'm glad I have my hubby to play with otherwise, I wouldn't even bother with a clan.  I'm tempted to not bother, but letting a few bad apples ruin your comarardie with the good ones is just childish in my eyes.

I'm not the stereotypical girl, I don't giggle nor have a higher pitched voice.  I'm rarely MVP.  I don't bad mouth other players.   I am competitive to  a  spot.  If I don't win, that's okay, but damnit, Ima try.

I'll sum it all up with what the hubby says, "I feel sorry you feel that way baby."

Well babe, try living on my side. You might see what my complaint is about.
