Any Female Gamers?

TinyDancer_2

I'm a 23 Year old female gamer. Love my Xbox. I love games,grew up playing videos .i got a sega Saturn when I was 7. So that's where my love begin at.

I'm so glad to see there are so many female gamers here

Used to be an avid PC gamer. Unfortunately due to a trapped nerve in my spine, having only one arm/hand to use I find it impossible these days. I do miss the banter though

Why does only having one hand/arm to use stop you from gaming? If it's due to not having enough digits to operate the keys/joypad you could always get an aid made up, if you wanted to get back into gaming.

I SOOO shouldn't have downloaded Fable 3 whilst it was free on Xbox live. Weekend involved doing very little else and I should have been doing the gardening *hangs head in utter shame*

Mouse in right hand, keyboard for left hand. Can't see how any aid would help. It's the left that's the problem. Unless I got a mouse with 20 buttons and a few extra fingers to press them all

I have to say I've never taken abuse for being a female gamer. I do get hit on a lot though but I don't really mind it, I don't have great self-confidence and it does make me feel happy for a bit that people are interested in me.

Some wont get the hint that I'm taken though, been with OH for 4.5 years and I'm not giving him up for anyone

Mazza, have you ever thought about getting a mouse with a thumb pad? I have this one:

http://gaming.logitech.com/en-gb/product/g600-mmo-gaming-mouse

It has 12 buttons on the thumb, which you can make macros for - I have found that I can do raid finder in wow now only using my right hand (nothing wrong with mine, just lazy!). I also have my push-to-talk button on another part of the mouse so I can chat with everyone easily. Perhaps worth a thought if it might allow you to reconnect with something that you love?

Looks excellent and I do like Logitech mice. TBH I have a few other problems too, like not being able to sit for more than 10 mins at a time, and I'm an FPS kinda gal lol. Usually campaign. So I gave it up completely, but that mouse looks like a great idea I do still interact with the gamers and keep an eye on our servers to make sure they are still kept clean and friendly.

I remember my first logitech mouse. Was a dual mouseman. Don't know if you remember them or not, but mine was special, got clogged with cat hair at one point and started acting like an aimbot Superb mouse lol

It depends on how much you want to get back into gaming, but the mouse mentioned above is a help. If you can move your left hand enough you could get a 4 way tilt switch made up, and/or foot controls.

I'm a console girl at heart. In fact, I spent my Sunday evening trying to beat Streets of Rage III. Modern games don't have a patch on it.
