“How did you feel the first time you pwned a n00b?” my group member asked his cousin. We were about to start interviewing students on camera for a group project on gaming addiction, so we were excited to have a dry run of our questions on a girl from the Computer Science department. We continued to press her by displaying a printout of several video game characters. “Can you name these characters?” we asked her. She had no idea. This was a surprise to me because I thought gaming was a hobby everyone in the CS department shared. Later, when I expressed my amazement to the same group member, he replied “Yeah man, she’s a girl.” I guess gender still matters when it comes to gaming, even within the CS department.
Oh, and it felt awesome the first time I pwned a n00b.
