Deathmatch, Julia Roberts-Style
from the Don't-h8-me-cuz-I-rool!!! dept
There have been plenty of articles out there trying to figure out ways to make video games more interesting to females. Most of them talk about building new games that play more to the (stereotypical) interests of females. However, another take might be to market existing games to a female audience. One way to do that might be to get a famous woman to become a hardcore gamer. Salon is running a parody article about what the world would be like if Julia Roberts were a hard-core gamer with an obsession over the game "Halo".
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
