She decided to become a “PlayDate”, a person who makes 36 cents an hour from GameCrush for every minute that paying customers log on and play games with her. Don’t think that video games are the main point of this site?
An excerpt:
Today, if Player 3 had any cash, I think he would’ve been forking it over. (Yeah, I’m good.) I regaled him with incredibly-embellished stories of my college youth (which was actually two years ago) and he finally said, “I wish I wasn’t broke.” I knew he was. I used him for practice, I’ll admit it. I’m sitting here in my pajamas with my hair a mess and no makeup on. I’m not going on camera like that, even if you do pay me.
But thanks for the practice.
Actually, wait. He just agreed to a chat minus camera on my end. I know where this is going. We meet up, and then…well, to quote Elaine from Seinfeld:
He took it out.
Nevin plays with some of these guys, then chats with more experienced PlayDates about the money they’ve made, the guys they’ve encountered. Pity the male PlayDate she spoke with who no one is paying to challenge.
Nevins’ adventure in GameCrush is fascinating. Give it a read.

No thanks, even the blurb has weakened my will to live.
