gaming and gender...

When you are playing mindless nternet games, against a computer (or computer games in general) do you think of the computer as a him or her?

Online pool for instance, your opponent....do u think, I hope he screws this shot up...

Or do you think, "I hope she screws this shot up..."

Or am I just weird?

I thought of it while playing hexagon on ebaums world

Definitely always think it's a he.

I really don't know why either. I think because the computer game thing is generally dominated by men.

I usually assume my opponents are male, even if their name suggest otherwise. I prefer not to be the gullible chump some ass is laughing at when they ask him 'are you really a gurlz0r?!'

Depends if your a guy or a girl, i think.

Cuz a guy has a hard time losing to a chick. So I think guy.

I'd be interested to know what a lady thinks about this topic???

Some of the reason I think 'male' is definitely to do with likening the person at the other end to myself.

we all tend to assume that an unknown entity is of the same gender as us, until further information about them is acquired, or unless there are prior er, stereotypes i guess (i.e. its a pretty common stereotype that receptionists are young females).

An example: several years ago, i played diablo 2 with a female friend of mine. Anyway, we got up to the end act 2, and faced up against the major baddie, a slug like creature called Duriel. i remember her saying "ugh, shes ugly" or something like that, and i remember thinking that was curious because up until that point, i had always thought that Duriel was male.


odd, but true.

Loki, that is odd....Ater all, I am pretty sure Duriel is male.

Maybe thats why he makes such an ugly female...
