PARIS - In one of their publicity photos, the Frag Dolls loll among soft pink pillows, gripping game consoles with demure smiles and bright eyes riveted to a computer screen.

This is no slumber party. The stylish, fresh-faced girls are one of the video gaming industry's new weapons to smash the stereotypical image of a geeky boy gamer battling aliens in a dark basement.

I thought the feminine side of video gaming was your wife/ girlfriend complaining you spend too much time doing it.

I met a girl playing counterstrike once. I pwnt her good and hard then her an I became an item for a while and I stopped playing counterstrike. About a year after we broke up I played her again. And I got pwnt good and hard.

It felt like being castrated.

My ex-girlfriend joined my Raven Shield clan. So did a girlfriend and a wife from my clanmates. We tolerated them a while in Teamspeak and then decided that we are better off if they have a female squad with their own Teamspeak channel

They actually played really good

Let's see, I eat at work at the morning (which is usually a coffee or milk), usually fruits or something light for lunch, usually nothing for dinner. Why the hell should I cook? Cook yourself if you are hungry.

I won't frag you, you will die from hunger or poisoning after eating all that fast food crap anyway. That will be slow and painful.

From what I understand most women are not lazy enough to sit at a computer for 6 hrs or their day

That's not lazy, that's endurance

Or work, depending on what field you are in.
