Dammit. They were doing so well with the bullet points: I thought we might actually have seen a "reasons to like gamer-girls" article that for once didn't descend into stupid. Then they just had to go and screw it all up with the juvenile double-entendres (and sometimes single-entendres) in their reasoning and picturess (follow the link to see those).
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
