Heh. That almost sounds, Touchgamer, like every single app you've ever bought is on your iDevice. Are they? Because only 120 of each of the ones I choose are on each of the 11 pages, of each of the 3 iDevices I own.
But I did that only yesterday to each. There was absolutely no problem. Did you know that when you restore an iPhone/Touch, it retains the exact programmes and preferences you had on there, without adding all the apps? The most effort I had was to rearrange the Home screen just like I had it before. Easy. edit: Ahh. You wrote "Restoring as new". Don't worry. The new iTunes 9 doesn't automatically default (as the previous versions did) to install all the apps. You just tick the ones you want. I asked that very question to an Apple rep yesterday, before I restored my iDevices.
Oh, was the poster referring to my collection? Making some kind of sexist and homophobic derogatory reference at the same time? Well, don't worry. He's probably only 12 and worked really hard mowing the lawn to be able to afford Doom Classic and Peggle.
Yes so true. LOL. Some people apparently haven't realized that this is the 21st century and girls play video games. I think we have left quite a few people behind and they just have to catch up to the rest of us!
The comments on this thread by guys have been completely innocuous. Sometimes they're like, "yeah girls like cute games" which may be insulting to Gloria Steinem and her crew, but not to me. But THAT remark you quoted was really insulting on many levels, to his forum colleagues. It adds zilch to the discussion but does expose him for what he is. Immature.
Can you explain why? You're a Senior Poster and presumably not a troll, so I'm interested in hearing your reasons.
@Fe1 - Most girls (myself included) like many of the same games/ types of games that guys do. Basically the only thing this thread is accomplishing is a back-and-forth arguement stating whether or not that fact is true. It would be equally useless to create a thread discussing what games guys love. Gender really isn't an important part of the equation - different types of people like different types of games, regardless of gender. That is why this thread is useless.
I understand and rather suspected that was the case, BTW. I don't know Fairlady's reasons, but I believe that female gaming posters are seen as almost nonexistent in the minds of many. So to quell any doubts that there are loads of women on TouchArcade who furthermore have varied tastes from the violent to the cutesy, I am guessing she believed the thread would serve a dual purpose: exposure and reinforcement.
I too wondered why a female would even make up such a post because it seems so absurd in 2009 but you could be right about your guess. I am baffled by some who honestly have no idea that there are A LOT more female gamers than they can imagine. Well, this is their wake up call.
Also, not to speak about Fairlady as if she weren't even reading her thread, but I know many women who are outnumbered by men in their chosen profession (think, academia) -- sometimes they are frustrated by the sense that they are seen as irrelevant because their numbers are small. That translates as lacking the same talent or skilllevel as men, to many men. It's telling that Fairlady is a developer herself, and I'm sure getting a foothold in the gaming industry wasn't an easy thing for a woman. So the reasons may have been generational and occupational. Or maybe she just wanted to know what games we like.

my wife love to play Aurora Feint and Bejewelled, so my conclusion is they love puzzle games that involves some kind of expensive stone and jewel .. typical wife nowdays .. always go for bling bling ..
Not to speak for fairlady but I believe she made the thread to help spark some ideas as she is a dev as well. Now, I said this earlier but there were immature comments to get us sidetracked, the thread MIGHT read - games that appeal to NON GAMERS. If you are a guy OR A GAL and a gamer you are going to like the same kinds of games. Period, end of story, if some little 12 year old wants to disagree my only response will be wait a few years and get back to me and then you will come to your senses. However, my mother, not a gamer by ANY means, loves Spazzle. That might be the REAL question - what games would attract a non gamer to play them?
guess it highly depends on a woman ))) my roommate will scare a cut-throat, no wonder she adores all kinds of gunfires. So .... how to generalize?
