Does Aisha Tyler Seem Like a Gamer? (She Says She Is)

If she says she is, then why not? I know plenty of gamers - some are geeky, some not. some incredibly intelligent, some not. There's no stereotypical gamer that I know of.

Does she have to look anything in particular to be a gamer?

Like music (my favorite being metal), like literature, and like many other arts, you don't have to look anything to be fan of anything. These are mere constructions. It's all for everyone, all genders, all looks, all beliefs, all orientations, all everything.

To the people who think there's a look, hell no. For one thing, she's a woman who would be considered attractive if she was in a room full of women who were at worst above average. For another thing, she doesn't jive with the stereotype of being either pasty and White or of Asian-descent.

My understanding is that even the "gamer in the street" expects female gamers to be slightly less attractive than the general population of women on average and to mostly appear desirable due to an artificial perception of scarcity of women who game.

Which then leads us into the bit where female gamers are still more seen as objects of fantasy than as people, and women who are objectified but aren't up to snuff in terms of attraction are dismissed as worthless and the world continuing to disappoint them, whereas women who are legitimately attractive run the risk of triggering the same sort of reaction as when one starts to believe that one is being conned.

At least, that's my amateur, grammatically flawed analysis.

Yea so....shes a sexy face...plus she can kick your ass in viedo games...

just because your sore loser you come up with stupid reasons like ones appearnce :P

Of course! Why not?

She doesn't have to look. I mean, a gamer girl is a female who enjoys and consistently plays video games, right? It's like asking if someone looks like they like Math

Why not? I didnt know gamers had a look to them. I clap at what she said. Im not a big gamer but when I have time I keep up with E3 and xplay.

yea

Wow that's great!

I'm not doubting that she games, but I wouldn't look at a woman like Aisha Tyler and think "Wow! I bet she know gaming!"

She looks like a black Angelina Jolie

Agreed My Good Sir

Oh my god, is that machine gun for real?

She came to a conference and said she liked to game... She didn't duck face and scream "OH MY GOD I LOVE POKEMON AND HALO!!!!!" she was just responding when people said they don't believe that she plays video games.

She is a gamer a comic nerd as am I; Aisha is awesome and knows her stuff.

sick art

Yup it is.

where did u find that at? DevianART?

I just looked up female gaming nerd in the search engine of Google and it popped up.

As we used to say back in the day... Y'all betta recognize!!

As I think we all know by now, gamers don\t have a uniform, or a look. Strange thing to doubt.

I always saw her as a pretty cool chick. The kind of female that males like to hang out with.

I had no idea there was a particular "gamer" look.

I can't play shooters but I can sure as hell play RPGs

I don't know you, but I'm proud. Why is it that when female gamers, upon their existence being verified, are assumed to only play shooters and the like? I HATE (!) shooters - duckhunt excluded. RPGs are where it is at. RTSs are where it is sometimes otherwise located. Strategy-RPGs mark the spot.

Thank you! ^_^
And they assume because the "gamer girls" that like to pretend to be gamers so that they can get guys' attention, only play shooters (specifically Halo or CoD).
What are your favorite RPGs? Mine is Dragon Age:Origins and Two Worlds II and I always play as a tank.

Oh god, I have so many favourites... It's so difficult! I feel like I'm being mean to all the other great RPGs for failing to recognise them in this significant way lol. Ok, based on the totally obsessive nature with which I played them, I give you: Dragon Age: Origins (but don't even talk to me about the second..... I don't even think about it. I like to think of DA1 as standing alone, brilliant, its name unbesmirched by its lesser kin), er, where was I? Ah. The other is Persona 3. I've never played Two Worlds II. I was put off playing the first game by others and, though I knew Two Worlds II to be good by reputation, I never got around to it!

Oh my god, DA2 was simply a mess. I liked the change in combat system (but i preferred the skill trees from DA:O), the graphics change and the fact that our hero now has a voice. Everything else was total gar-baaaaaaaaage. Do you know that they aren't bringing back the Warden for DA3? I was listening to some interviews on what they're planning for DA3.... Good news: most of the *brilliant* ideas that they had incorporated in to DA2 are being thrown out the door and the plot will be more DA:O. It'll also take place in Orlais (Gaider hinted that we'll be more "French") The bad: no Warden :((((
Two Worlds II is SOOOO much better than its predecessor. The alchemy and spell tabs are a bit difficult to understand at first, but once you get the hang of it, you get COMPLETE control over the intensity and characteristics of your spells and potions. Also, the graphics are simply BEAUTIFUL (the scenery is beautiful... the people look like Oblivion rejects)
Example of Two Worlds II's beauty:

She doesn't look like the stereotypical image of a nerd/gamer.

Anyone can be a gamer, especially with multi-player games being increasingly popular.

I didn't know a gamer has a specific "look."

I play any game she wants that I know for sure!

Who is this broad and who cares?

She is a hella funny actress/comedian and she is Lana Kane on Archer and she is gonna be in the new Broken Lizard movie (Super Trooper fame). She was also in Balls of Fury, she is one bad ass sista from the Bay Area so you need to get up and take notice man.

Will do!

I know what she means. I had an ex who got his panties in a twist when I beat him in a World at War COD match, but I've also known guys who thought it was awesome.

It's fun. Why WOULDN'T we enjoy it?
