LOL, have you played the online half-life mod TFC?

That is how my b/f and I actually met. Then we met in person awhile later, he knew my dad before me. We have known each other for about 4 years now and have been dating for about 9.

a night at the pub? where do you live again?

Girls who play games are so much more appealing. I know one who loves Halo, and my gf plays L2. Been trying to get her to play GW with me...

I have a female partner who is as into gaming as I am, but -- get this--her favorite is POKEMON. Yes, she has almost caught them all. A brilliant engineer, voted female engineer of the year, and she loves Pokemon. Go figure.

Well, being a lesbian just pushes you up higher in the ranks of the man's best fantasy A girl that likes girls and playes games? If that is not the definative idea of a perfect world... now you just need to capture it all on video and you got yourself web site of the year ;-)

Then theres my own contraptions... Those I won't share with the public. =) Maybe one day I'll write a cook book. LoL.

Generally I tend to eat chicken since I hate beef. (Bacon as well, I'm Canadian so its part of our diet.) I drink milk all the time, therefore I don't like to eat the creature that produces it. *Shrugs* I'm not a fan of eggs, so I'll eat chickens. Theres some of my bizzare logic for you. =P

Was just thinking I know a lot of woman (that I know of) don't cook as much as "the old days" and some don't have a clue how to except for the basic things (even then it can be a stretch).

*Ponders...*
I could be a female gamers dream in that department. @_@ Never have to worry about food.

Sooo, what if I know how to sew too... very well. I don't cosplay, but I've thought about it. At least, I've thought about offering my services for those who don't know how to make their own costumes.

Ahh...you want to share cooking secrets?
(I am a Food Distributor by trade. Imported High-end chocolates and the lot)

Well here is a great way to make Whipped Potatoes. (Not Mashed)
Boil your taters like everyone else.
Drain the water.
Whip them with a hand mixer.
Add real butter, milk, season to taste.
Then add a block of Cream cheese while whipping.
Put some slabs of real butter on top.
Put back in the oven until a touch crispy on the top.

No lumps...just good eating.

Also for your main entre'....
Prime Rib, Fowl, Ham, etc.
ALWAYS use a cooking bag.
Never eat dry meat again.
I call it my Fire & Forget method.

You know why we are having pleasent conversations?
Because there are LADIES present. One more reason I enjoy playing the game with them. Plus they smell good.

Alas the reality of my life would NOT make a sexy website, lol. Yes there is girl on girl action, thanks, but there is MORE stuff like broken clothes dryers and kids' Dr. appointments and cats barfing on the new rug. LOL.

Not a problem, you're cool. I never read it as commentary on sewing, but on how much cooler a gamer girl is than a non-gamer girl. I can't even get my wife to try the Sims. As far as playing MMO type games together...my only hope might be Puzzle Pirates.

Not that I'd change a thing about her. That's why we had kids, so I could have someone to play games with. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

That's slightly creepy.

It was fine up to the smelling part and then....well...

Personally all that comes out of my speakers is sound. Not rich enough for those fancy ones that transmit fragrance too.

I cook lots of things and everything will be homemade if I can. Homemade mac n cheese, choco chip cookies that are so buttery and rich they melt in your mouth. I have recently mastered how to make peanut butter cups that are better than Reese's.
I got good reviews for them. :P

I can make a mean lasagna and grill up some nice burgers. I have a few tricks for burgers too to make em extra yummy...

I learned it all from my dad and I am not even 20 yet. So, there are SOME women that can cook.

hmm...sounds like my family almost..

but, this is the first mmorpg or anything that my mom has ever played. Computer games to her are tetris, solitaire, bejeweled and she won't play sims. She won't even touch console games...except for maybe casino ones. But she doesn't play those either.

Us kids, we play everything with my dad.

If I chose to correct you on this, it might surpass someone's cruelty threshold and I guess I'm not in an unforgiving enough mood for that today.

So, carry on.

But why does being a woman gamer mean anything. In the end I am interested in the group's success in a mission or PvP. Man or woman doesn't matter. How well do you work in a team is all I care about.

Alright, for the lowfat but still tasty version... replace butter and regular milk or cream with evaporated milk, 2 tsp. garlic sauteed in 1 Tbl of butter, and 1/3 c. Parmesan cheese (the crumbly cheese is better for you than the soft stuff). You can, if so desired, grate 1/4 c. extra sharp Cheddar over the top and toss it in the oven for 10 min at 400 (I don't know what the gas mark is for you Euros, sorry ). Don't use the prepackaged grated cheese, it contains cellulose to prevent clumping.

Not quite as rich but your physician will be happy.

Both sound good to me. Hey maybe we should start a share your favorite comfort food recipe thread!

I'd really like the d20 of Evil as my guild emblem, but since that's not a choice, we settled on the Fleur di Lis. I can't imagine the headache this would cause to implement and maintain, not to mention dealing with IP, but wouldn't it be cool if we could design our own emblems?

Hello everyone. Just a friendly reminder to stay on topic. The off-topic forums is there, also, if you really do feel an overwhelming need to discuss cooking recipes in particular.

Well you have to have some skill to be able to make good use of the shotgun in Halo, because it is the most unreliable weapon in the game. Sometimes they could be sucking on the barrell and u can pull the trigger and barely even damage their shields, sometimes u could be like 20 steps away from them and jus randomly fire in their direction and kill them... Ok well it's not really that exaggurated but still, pretty unreliable. Anyway back to the topic at hand... I think I will inject my two cents into this whole thing, whether or not you think it is credible, you be the judge. Sometimes talking to a woman gamer is kind of refreshing, and not in the sense that a lot of you may think I am talking about. See, to go on a tangent, video games always have been, and prolly will be, somewhat of a staple in my life, and to know that there are some women out there that share the same interests as you can be reassuring that, because you play video games, you won't spend ur life alone in a one room apartment cranking to Hentai...
