The Escapist

From a Joystiq entry, I discovered The Escapist Magazine. By the way, the Escapist's article linked from Joystiq is called "OMG Girlz Don't Exist On teh Intarweb!!!!1". It is a great read.

As a recovering MMOGs addict myself, I remember the first time I met a female on Ultima Online. Yes, I was shocked at first. However, after hanging out with a few girl players I met during my life on Ultima, I learned that girls enjoy gaming just as much as boys. And girls are just as good or better playing the same games as the boys. The girls I knew from Ultima Online were not just average players. They were not just pretty good for "girls"; they were exceptional players with mad skills. This article, "OMG Girlz Don't Exist On teh Intarweb!!!!1", is just one of the many great stories in The Escapist's issue about sexism and women in the gaming universe.

Also, check out other issues of The Escapist Magazine. Every issue covers an interesting theme related to gaming. The publication's presentation, stories, and writers are amazing.
