On the topic of gender identity. Societal pressures us to act within a gender, males do male things, females do female things. Our whole identity as people is based on the pressures we accept and deny. If someone wants to dress in female clothing they are no different to someone who doesn't like Call of Duty. In my opinion there is no such thing as gender identity, we make our own identity.

I bought Dead Island recently, however a game I was BETA testing came out on Steam as well.

I cleaned it up a little more If you want me to have a go at something with a render I need like a character or something.

I made that one based on the calligraphy

I can imagine that being true. But i think this is mainly because there aren't that many females on the internet. The minute you say "I'm a girl" anything you said on anything 'male' programming, gaming, or general opinions gets thrown out the window, also no one believes you unless you give them a bazillion pictures, everyone hits on you or asks for nudes, and people tend to just disregard what you say, girls can't possibly know anything about computers. For someone like me, all other girls just give me a bad reputation, there are quite a few on the internet but usually they don't know very much and everyone assume all girls are like that. Also they tend to use their body a lot to show off, which encourages crass behavior.

I find that gender is irrelevant. Maturity on the internet is based on how long you've used it, for example I used to be really immature, I had maturity beat into me on the internet. There are less females who join various types of discussions so you don't really see it develop, and usually they pretend to be male. Being female on the internet is the hard.

All aspiring video game designers should watch this video: http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/so-you-want-to-be-a-game-designer or really all the videos by extra credits, they're interesting and inspiring. As for programming I would suggest starting with C# rather than Java, C# is more forgiving when it comes to games design that Java is. Both follow C-syntax so you can easily switch between the two.

If you want me to make a signature or something I'll do it. Examples I did for people on another forum: Note to bronies, if you want your pony in a signature please make it transparent.

It's on sale today on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/6060/ Honestly it a really awesome game which doesn't get the love it should. One of the few SW games which are actually good. The story mode is also really challenging.

Good Idea: Voting Obama out of office.

That wasn't the prettiest shit for cheetos so let's dive to clams head.

Wonder why this happened and there's not Call of Duty game yet. What would you do if you had the chance to space.

Syntax error. What would you do if you turned into a giant bug?

Just to kind of settle this: [15/09/2011 16:29:24] Jexius: (oh warning: loads of people on AF are changing their names to pony names, they're demanding a twilight sparkle) [15/09/2011 16:29:47] Jexius: There was even a Derpy Hooves until he decided he didn't like ponies (why change it then?) [15/09/2011 16:30:30] Jexius: There just isn't a Twilight Sparkle [15/09/2011 16:30:33] Katie Paxton-Fear: Lols [15/09/2011 16:30:37] Katie Paxton-Fear: Change my name then [15/09/2011 16:30:46] Jexius: Are you sure? [15/09/2011 16:30:54] Katie Paxton-Fear: Yeah [15/09/2011 16:30:57] Katie Paxton-Fear: Why not [15/09/2011 16:31:43] Jexius: Well done [15/09/2011 16:31:46] Jexius: But you'd better post [15/09/2011 16:31:55] Jexius: I think they'll go mad if Twilight SParkle is inactive! xD My name before was Macheath. You can look my name up on Facebook or whatever. You could also find me round the internet.

Game design is a really hard industry to get into, make sure you also learn programming etc.

Correction: /offended.

Banned because I don't know you.

Okay I'm female and heterosexual. #back-on-topic

Trying to make a Minecraft server work.

Dead Island- it crashed.

I'm Twilight Sparkle, you can call me KT or Katie. I'm 17 and I live in Birmingham, UK. I consider myself a 'game expert', I know a lot about games and game design principles . My favorite game is Windosil and I love indie games. Freeman's mind is alright I guess. I study Games Design at college and write for various websites about game design. I also love ponies, woot for TS.
