Female game programmers. Now that's special.
Randi's game programming was a whim, she lead me to believe. Basically, it became a hobby, then she got a bit too much sh*t in this forum, and she left because that's all it was - a whim. She wasn't too bothered. She just got bored.
Coding is a lads thing though, because if you're serious about it, you have to be smart, logical, a geek, and have a history in computers. Now, women can be smart - granted. Some women can be logical ... but the numbers are falling. Some women can be geeks, but not half as bad as lads. And finally, messing around with computers is always a blokey thing. Same with guns, fighting, swearing, penis and mum jokes, farting in your friends face, opening beer bottles with your teeth, practical jokes, cars and racist/sexist/obesist etc. humour.
hehe. Obviously some women get into coding, but it's just society that kinda defines which sex is most likely to be interested in game development, and there it is. Software engineering at uni - 100 peoples, and 4 girls. My new course, which is similar - 100 people, 3 girls. The maths is against em!
But anyway, to wrap up my bored rant as I try and avoid starting exam revision ...
I'm all for female coders, but no more so than men. Whoever! However, if you have this little inkling in the back of your mind telling you that it'd be sweet to date a girl who was into making games, so you could make games together. Ya know, you're probably right. But, there's a whole lot more ladies into the arty side of things - 3D modelling, graphics design etc. My Mrs does Computer Animation and Visualisation at uni, which means she does a whole lot of 3D modelling and animation, and when her work is out the way, she's gonna give me a hand with games. And damn, she is good. You know the Dawn demo for NVidia, where the pixie pulls facial expressions? She pisses all over that with her work ... well, not litterally.
Uhh, but anyway, I'm losing track. Yeah, female coders - ace. But if you like the idea of a girlfriend you can work on projects with, go for the arty types. More to choose from, and fitter!
Art work and sexiness, it directly proportional. There is nothing sexy about coding ....
... I'm just just be an exception.
Bahah. Ok, time for revision. I have wasted enough time chatting crap.
Signature? No! Obsolete! These days it's all about chip and pin!
