Ok, Lisa is loosely based on me, but this is where we differ.  I want whatever that pink thing is.

A hand from off screen points at a surprised Lisa.
Panderers: Female Gamer!!!
Panderer (holding out a purple book): Scrapbooking profession!
Panderer (holding a cute pink pet thing): More vanity pets!
Panderer (holding out a model house): Vague and distant hope of player housing!
Lisa: Uh, yeah, sure, whatevs. How 'bout you focus on making the end more challenging and fixing the hunter pet autobug.
Mike (popping his head in, interested): More vanity pets?

    Ahh, the autocast bug. My wasp never rises from the dead automatically. Great comic; I’m looking forward to more!

    I like housing. And extensive avatar customisation, that’s always good.

    I guess where certain kinds of developers (and particularly investors) trip up is not realising the difference between ‘girl gamers’ and ‘women gamers’. Same applies to ‘boy gamers’ and ‘men gamers’. These terms are irrespective of actual age and more related to what tends to attract those types of people to entertainment. Sure a female gamer may be attracted to scrapbooking, pets and interior design but that is because they have a certain girlish personality, same as male gamer may be attracted to the stereotypical big guns, macho player characters and killing lots of baddies but in that case they are attracted to (or at least indulging in) boyish things.

    this is spot on and hilarious. love it- can’t wait to see more (moar). :)

    also, i likely want that pink thing too…but, but…not just because i’m a female gamer…it’s uh…for the achievement.

  4. Squelchy

    Nice beginning. Came here though WoW Insider; you’ve earned a spot in my bookmarks. :)

  5. Sharon

    Found my way here through wowinsider this morning, and I love it! I’m looking forward to seeing more! I’m a 30-something female gamer, that prefers playing orcs precisely because they’re NOT pretty and cuddly. ;)

  6. Typhron

    Hey, keep at it! You seem to posess that trait few people don’t have called “humor”.

  7. Jeany

    That’s what I suspected Mary Varn… I can’t wait to see more!

    This is brilliant because this is EXACTLY me and my wife. Every time I show her one of my exciting new vanity pets, or mounts, or RP outfits, she just rolls her eyes and goes back to killing everything in sight with that merciless warrior glee.

    Great job!

  9. David

    Awesome comics :P found my way here NOT through WowInsider, but through crispygamer.com :P

    Omg imagine player housing! I always wanted that but I know it would ruin the game lol. I also want to be able to get married =P Ahahaha.
