Question a Lesbian Gamer – Non gaming girlfriends

We get a few emails here at Lesbian Gamers stating or asking many things, from what games we like to our personal favorite at showing the moronic nature of some internet users “Why do you bitch about no females in games when you probably look like a man don’t you”. Ahem.

Anyway, abusive emails aside, we’re counting on that sector of the world that has intelligence to hit us up with questions in our new regular news piece ‘Question a Lesbian Gamer’ [send your questions HERE and we’ll try and cover as many as we can]. Here’s one we got recently to kick things off:

Jodie Foster plays Guitar Hero

It seems people are a little stunned that Jodie Foster likes a little Guitar Hero in her life. Foster was recently quoted as saying "Guitar Hero is big. We fight each other over it. I'm bad at it, but I'm still better than them. I have no musical ability. I tried in my life. I tried to learn the trumpet, that wasn't so good. The good thing about Guitar Hero is you can just [press the buttons and] go 'blue, green, green, green, blue, green, green...'"

You may recall Ellen DeGeneres likes a little Guitar Hero in her life too. What is it about lesbians and guitars, or drums for that matter. RockBand and Guitar Hero could certainly be doing with a few more dyke anthems given the apparent appeal the titles have to Sapphic gamers.

Gay Girls Who Game - Epi Twelve

Gay Girls Who Game make a point of replying to all those lovely comments and questions people had. Why there's everything from God of War on the PSP, to sex on day beds by the pool. Episode Eleven of the vlog (thanks to AfterEllen.com and LesbianGamers.com) features the usual gaming banter, mixed with fluffy white dogs and a little L Word.

Partial reviews of God of War: Chains of Olympus (PSP) and SEGA Superstars Tennis are also present, with some slightly differing views on both.

Without further ado you can catch Episode Twelve of Gay Girls Who Game HERE.

Mass Effect 2 - More Lesbians than Dinah Shore Weekend

The guys and gals at BioWare love lesbians. They had a movie night the other night that included Better Than Chocolate, Loving Annabelle, Go Fish, Saving Face and Imagine Me and You... and that was just the beginning. They huddled together and decided Mass Effect 2 needs more lesbians!

It's a win win situation, more lesbians means more negative press, which means more press overall, coverage money just can't buy. More dykes equals more money so they've said "bring it!". They're packing so many lesbians into Mass Effect 2 there may not be any room for male characters! Yes looks like Mass Effect 2 will be wall to wall lesbians of all races!

Girlfriends & Companion Cubes

I feel blessed with my life, despite the stresses which ensue, one thing stands out - I have an amazing girlfriend. Yes this is a gushy post, but why not, it's nice to share a nice love story now and again and gamers are no exception.

Yesterday I was having a fairly lousy day, feeling out of sorts, without direction and unappreciated in my work, then the DHL man arrived with a small, square, light box addressed to my girlfriend. I messaged her at work to let her know and she said "open it". Inside was a plush Companion Cube for me. This small gesture turned my day around and I wanted to share it. I'm sure some of you have similar stories of gaming love?
