“…female game players attend to self and others during game play. Gamers playing with a same-gender avatar experienced greater connectedness with game play and competitiveness” (Eastin & Griffiths, 2006).
Hm…..I wonder what the percentage is for girls to play healing classes. I’m not so sure about the same-gender avatar business though. I don’t think it matters. I don’t think a guy who chose to play a female avatar is going to be any more competitive playing a male avatar.
I don’t like research. I don’t like citing. This is tedious. Why can’t I just go to school and learn. Must I prove what I’ve learned (and then promptly forget a week later anyway)? Or show that I know how to follow rules set by people I don’t care for?
