Break.com gathers Katee Sackhoff, Stan Lee, a rapping Seth Green and several scantily clad models for this parody of Katy Perry’s “California Gurls”, “Geek and Gamer Girls”, which are apparently attractive women who love posing naked with toys.
The video scores points for namedropping the likes of Final Fantasy and Doctor Who, but in terms of advancing the cause of gamer girls it fails miserably. I’m no expert, but I suspect that girls who enjoy geeky things like playing video games would just rather be considered gamers or geeks than having the word “girl” thrown in front of everything they do as a qualifier.
I on the other hand, love rolling around naked with toys flying in the air, covering up my naughty bits. Look for that video to appear on Kotaku sometime after hell freezes over.

I think the only thing that Gamer Girls could really be offended by is perhaps being represented by women who are not likely, Gamer Girls. However, it’s just as offensive to assume that attractive women in the entertainment and/or fashion (objectification) industry are not gamers too. It’s a broad culture now, with surprising members.

Tuesday, September 14, 2010 at 9:29 AMOh god, does the original sound like that? I couldn’t get halfway through the vid because the song was hurting my head.
Now I remember why I don’t listen to the radio.

Tuesday, September 14, 2010 at 7:31 PMThat was Michele Boyd from The Guild. She played Riley, the bitchy FPS chick who went out with Zaboo in season 3.

Tuesday, September 14, 2010 at 6:42 PMUnfortunately, my experience of gamer girls, in particular any that play CoD4, are that they are straight up addicted to declaring to the world their gender. Had this one real irritating girl called Devil’s Girl who just wouldn’t shut up about her being a girl for several maps. She spent so much time filling up the screen with BS that I honestly don’t think she played more than 10 minutes out of a couple hours. Everytime we told her to shut up and play, she got on her “I’m a girl gamer and you’re just going to have to accept that” high horse and rode it to bloody death. She’s not the only i’ve seen do it. Of course, I can only notice the super obnoxious ones, since i’m sure many other gamer girls are content to just play the bloody games.

Tuesday, September 14, 2010 at 11:22 PMThat was pretty cheesy, not life-changing/day-making in a positive or a negative light for me, just bleh.
Except for Katee Sackhoff’s , I wasn’t expecting a “So Say We All”! It knocked me for a little bit of a loop.
Also, damn, she seems to have lost that Starbuck hard-ass edge to her and looking like quite a comely lass…
