Would You Pay a Girl to Play Halo With You?
GameCrush lets you get flirty and dirty with gamer girls.
by Daemon Hatfield
March 22, 2010 - If you're an avid online gamer chances are you sign onto, say, Xbox Live most nights and jump into a game of Modern Warfare or Gears of War with either your friends or some random players. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the majority of gamers you encounter are dudes, and probably immature dudes at that. What if you could pay a bit of cash to play Modern Warfare with an attractive girl? Or maybe relax with a casual game of checkers while you video chat with said female? A new social service launching tomorrow, March 23, called GameCrush (www.GameCrush.com) is hoping there are gamers out there willing to pay for the opportunity to play with girls.
On GameCrush, guys are Players and girls are PlayDates. Players pay to play and PlayDates get paid to play. Guys can browse PlayDate profiles (there are currently around 1,200), view photos, and even chat with girls for free. Publicityhazard's turn ons include vibrating controllers, for instance, and is turned off by three red lights. Once you find a gal you fancy you send her a game invite and if she accepts you get six to ten minutes of one-on-one gaming time. PlayDates have the ability to block any guy they want for any reason. When the service launches tomorrow it will only support the Xbox 360 and a few casual games hosted on the GameCrush website, but there are plans to add PlayStation 3, Wii, and World of Warcraft support as soon as possible.
You must be 18 or over to create a GameCrush account -- it's being touted as the first social site for adult gamers. It's not an explicitly explicit service, but PlayDates set their gaming mood to either "flirty" or "dirty." What the two of you chat about is entirely up to you. Signing up is free, but you must purchase credits in order to get your game on. For $8.25 you get 500 credits, which is enough for one game (400 credits) and a 100 credit tip at the end. An Xbox Live game will last 10 minutes, while a casual Flash game will get you six minutes of face time with your PlayDate. That's literal face time, because you can video chat with your lady while playing a casual Flash game. Again, what goes on in that video chat is up to you and your PlayDate. GameCrush says it modeled its pricing structure after the cost of buying a girl a drink at a bar. In a bar, you're basically buying the opportunity to chat a girl up. GameCrush is hoping players will look at their service the same way.

QuoteThat's like $50.00 an hour. You could almost afford a real life girlfriend for that.
yeah, but she wouldn't like games :'( :'(
The last game I played with a girl was Champions of Norrath with my current gf. All she did was run around and steal all the damn loot while I killed everything.

I hope you're not blaming her for following her female instincts.

PlayDates aren't on the GameCrush staff; they are like independent contractors. Any girl can sign up, so you're going to find a wide variety of gaming and flirting skills. These are (mostly) regular girls and they don't receive any sort of training on how to act or what to say. During an early demo of the service I played a couple casual games with PlayDate Ambibambi23. She was a nice girl (and totally kicked my ass in both pool and Battleship, btw) but her boyfriend was hanging out behind her and she made mention of him a couple times. Her game mood is set to "flirty," but there was zero flirting going on. I can imagine some guys might be disappointed if they paid to play with a girl, only to hear her go on and on about her boyfriend -- and even have to see the guy during a video chat. I gave Ambibambi23 high marks for her gaming skill but dinged her for her lack of flirtiness.

There was once some oldass gaming social network site that was up, my friends and I made a female profile with pictures of some random Korean girl we found on google image. We didn't even seek people out, our inbox was full of shit after a few weeks. We strung them along, most of the guys were really sad, very negative and defensive about their life, how no one understood them or some shit, was everyone else's fault, that type of nonsense. After awhile we felt bad and shut down the account, god help any real girls that sign up for that shit.
Oh well, easy money to be made with this, and I'm sure we'll be hearing lots of entertaining stories in the meantime!
Can we make a fake porfile and take turns playing it?wait, you mean make a customer profile?

:lol It wasn't Playfire, was it?
just to clarify, if you spent this sort of cash in Japan you'd AT LEAST get your knob polished.
Japan STILL has the edge! ;)

None of those profile links load up for me. they all say that the page cannot be found wtf?
But wait, here's their pricing logic:QuoteGameCrush says it modeled its pricing structure after the cost of buying a girl a drink at a bar. In a bar, you're basically buying the opportunity to chat a girl up.
Noooo, you buy a girl a drink at a bar because you hope that it might lead to :tauntaun That ain't gonna happen through your vidya console without some newfangled attachments.
