Girls and Gaming are probably not 2 terms that you hear together very often. But now more and more there are women coming out of the woodwork that seem to embrace technology and gaming. Most of you probably have heard of PMS Clan, which was started by a couple of sisters who enjoy gaming and blew up from there. Another example is a series called "The Guild," which is headed up by Felica Day, that has gained alot of followers over it's video series. She has made several tv appearances and voted top Geek Girl.
XFX, a popular motherboard and video card manufacture, is looking for a Spokes-model to host their XFX Tech Show. It just goes to show you that times are changing and girls are here to game!
