That and there's the whole 'game chick' stereotype. Honestly, it's pathetic to see men drooling over a not-so-attractive chick just because she's a 'gamer'. Saw that happen in real life plenty of times, and most of the time, the girls were just using that trick to uplift their own egos. Most were either unnatractive or uninteresting, but other guys would drool over them anyway. Suuuure, there's that one chick who's pretty, nice to talk to and with whom I have spent many nights playing videogames up 'til 4am or so, but that's one in a million, pretty much. And I digress.

 

Anyway, that's the gist of it. I couldn't care less that miss Day is doing some VO for GW2. Actually, I'd rather she didn't, because not only do I find her voice annoying, but it only helps reinforce that aforementioned pathetic stereotype.

I see my buddies drooling over "gamer chicks" all the time that aren't attractive. I just don't get it. I could understand it if perhaps they were pleasant to talk to, but every single one has been a...well a bitch tbh. Yet, they still become hopelessly enamoured by any women who says she play video games.

I've never heard of her, but I guess she is an awesome voice actress?

It doesn't occur to you guys it's about varying tastes, and not about the fact that she plays games? I'm sure that's part of it for some, but I happened to find her attractive long before I knew she had anything to do with games. The first time I saw her was in the last season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I always thought she was pretty.

This video has her recording voice acting for GW2. Its pretty good :)

Hahahahaha!  I busted out laughing at 1:01 in the video.  That guys voice is amazing!  How do I get a voice like that?  Do I have to smoke 300 cigars and chug some pipe cleaner?   Im pretty sure if you just gave that guy a mega phone he could stop charging armies. 

Steve Blum.  Wow. 

Meh, shes not bad, but i like the Sylvari chick more (well, maybe thats just me)...

around 2:55.

EDIT: entered correct time

For everyone who doesn't know who she is:

Even if you don't like this - it is something every mmo player should at least see/know about.

I just had to yahoo her to find out who she is, just wanted to preface my next few statements with that.  Has anyone ever told you that you're a misogynistic D+++bag?  I'm sure they probably have. "Not-so-attractive-chick" "unnatractive or uninteresting" "pretty, nice to talk to, one in a million."  Why don't you try looking at women as equals and stop being so overly self-defeating because somewhat attractive girls aren't into you.  The manner of your speech and the descriptions you so beautifully painted make me feel like you are placing women in the same category as property and pets.  These women are exploiting the fact that they happen to be attractive exactly because of men like you.  You specifically degraded women on the bases of looks at LEAST 3 times.  Has it ever occured to you that women could POSSIBLY be just like men and want to play video games casually for fun and to escape the real world?  No, it probably hasn't.   Come to Seastone server in Rift, I'll show you how much it matters that I happen to be attractive in real life.  Oh, and I expect to get reported for this so go ahead.

Don't worry. If he thinks being attracted to someone for their interests rather than looks is pathetic......

He will marry someone for beauty instead of for common interests. His punishment will be of his own making within the first month of marriage when he tries to raid for 9 hours.

Unless you are still a teenager with massive hormones which you are unable to deal with, why on Earth would you "drool" over any female?

I think it's a being female thing. Most women I know who know of her aren't very fond of her, lol...

She played the fairy in the Legend of Neil, pretty funny.

She is at least more tolerable than those way too hot girls and their pandering 'I love geeks' BS.

very true as well

you want ot idolize a gamer chick and droll over one at least do it correctly! Faye Mata is 10 times the gamer and twice as hot! From a female gamer perspective those like Faye Mata and Kat Gunn are the ones that deserve it.

Who say's we gotta be picky?  ;D

Heheh, but wow, that girl in that pic...she's pretty hot.  Felicia Day has that girl next door vibe going on.  Girl above...well she sure isn't next door in my State lol.

Of course they in general do not think anything special  about her, otherwise they would be like Justin Bieber fans who aren't teenage/preteen females.

HAHAHAHA...

I actually almost found a really attractive girl who is a MMO gamer,(85 druid) but alas I was of no interest to her. She was different too. Her mother was an alcoholic so I think the foster home she grew up in as a teenager (she got two step brothers) made her interested in that. I was really disapoint with myself when she didnt want to be with me, but oh well, what can you do?

You are right about gaming girls gettng attention but is that not understandable? guys are passionate about their gaming. it only makes sense / would make life easier to be able to share it with others. you can talk for hours on end about your favorite moments in battlefield and skyrim, but a chick will just snuff.

it happened yesterday actually. two guys and I were talking about how great it is that Bethesda did not mess with the physics in skyrim (the giants wielding the player 20 feet in the air). I explained them how I would stab a mammut in the foot with a tiny dagger and all hell would break lose. Everyone drunk and laughing, but no girls. they usually dont think about it that way or find it cool.

its like young boys in school. its a compliment to call each other psycho because it means your wild and awesome. thats just how we are. Nothing wrong with men appreciating that. and the fact that it can be a substitute, no matter how shallow for straight up looks is good.

Felicia Day might not be a crazy talented individual who got some deserved right to fame (if there is anything deserving about that ever?) but come on dude. your being like the "wouldnt hit megan fox because she has sharp knees" type guys. she looks nice. She seems cool, and cute. She is a gamer personality. she makes sense for the Asura.

She isn't bad-looking, but not my type. Her voice is familiar, though. I'm sure I've heard her in other stuff.

I would have to say I prefer Felicia Day over her. Then again I've always had a thing for  "nerdy-looking" women. I've never been particularly attracted to blondes, or short hair. I gotta say, though, I do adore some long lovely red locks. Bonus if she has green eyes.

This, however, is only a preference, of course, not a rule.

This is why Felicia Day is in everything.
