Female Invasion

December 19, 2000 3:39 PM

This is something that should freak a lot of people out. According to a recent study by PC Data, (Thanks Eric) female gamers have recently overtaken males as the majority of gamers playing games on the internet:

while men make up 55 percent of overall gamers, females for the first time comprise a majority of online gamers at 50.4 percent. [...] Men are also three times as likely as female gamers to participate in first-person shooter games

Thats pretty nuts... I dont know what else to say but uh... so whats up baby? come here often?
