| Ah, OK. I was just curious to know if it was the games themselves or the social aspects of MMORPGs you were into. I like killing stuff with big flashy weapons, and exploring the world. =) Talking to people ingame is cool too, but I'm mostly the type who reads the quests and lore and likes collectin... |

| If I try to read out loud, I start stuttering more than normal. It's very frustrating. |

I mean the genre in general, though my personal experience has been console and PC RPGs. JRPGs like Final Fantasy have always had a lot of female fans.
I don't play tabletop RPGs so I have no idea how the gender breakdown is there. |

I used to leave the game on just to hear this:

The orchestral version of it is even better.
Also, the classic Zelda theme is pretty great also.

| One of MC's best features is how moddable it is; it can become an entirely new game with certain mods. I think in a game like MC where its mostly about making your own story/creations, it's not really cheating. |

| I've been playing games seriously since the SNES, and have always liked games. In recent years I'm almost exclusively a PC gamer, even though I grew up playing primarily the SNES/Genesis/PS1. I think especially in RPG-type games, there have always been a decent population of female gamers. I think i... |

I usually play MMOs or Simulation/RPGs.
I played World of Warcraft for 7 years, which was the longest out of all the MMOs I've played. Currently I'm playing Kingdoms of Amalur, Spiral Knights and Minecraft, and waiting for Guild Wars 2 to be released. =) |

From The Aspie Quiz, I got 50/200 NT and 151/200 for my Aspie score.
I didn't save the graphs though. I was pretty much all on the right side of the circle. |

| I did not read your whole text and just stick to the headline. All my "friendships" were connected to the common special interest that I had at that moment and when this special interest changed or I had to move from place I could not maintain a "friendship" anymore. Then I alienate from people. Th... |

| If I force myself to make eye contact when someone is speaking, I end up spacing out and just staring blankly. I also have a hard time actually paying attention to what they're saying. If it's someone I don't know well, it's even more difficult. To me, understanding the substance of what someone is ... |

| I've always been sympathetic to the Topfree movement, especially on hot summer days when I'm still expected to wear a bra and all that crap. I think it's such a dumb double standard. I always wear as little clothes as possible (tank tops and loose jeans are my favorites, no matter what time of year). |

You'd think that would be obvious to everyone, but it seems not. I've never understood judgmental people, myself. |

| I have read, that in general dogs LOATHE coyotes (and vice versa) because even though the two are very similar in appearance, to a dog the body language of a coyote is just 'off' enough that it agitates the dog.
