First Sugar Gamers Post

According to the ESA, the male to female ratio is 60/40. I am a female gamer. This is mind boggling to me. I tried see if I maybe I could figure out my male to female friend ratio, as all of my friends are gamers. Well, I have a dinner party coming up, and invited 27 local friends who I have known for years. Three of them are female.

In 2008 and 2009, I attended Penny Arcade Expo where the population was alarmingly male. Definitely not this 60/40 nonsense the ESA is trying to tell me. A while back, I received an invitation on Facebook from Keisha to join Sugar Gamers. I thought a community of local female gamers was a fantastic idea because as you can see, I know very few female gamers. So, I really appreciate that this group exists and am glad to be a part of it!

I am not only a gamer, but I am also an anime fan. I find it pretty often the two can go hand in hand (like the Bleach game developed by Treasure). I also happen to be a hardcore cosplayer. I co-own a small online costume commission business called RedStar Costumes & Clothing. I attend anywhere between four and seven conventions a year. Currently, the costume I am working on for myself is Momohime from Muramasa, which is the only game I really play on the Wii. When it is finished I will definitely link some pictures.
