So I will type.

I'm talking about gaming/dating site Gamecrush,  which will be going live 16 hours from the moment this line was typed.  What is Gamecrush, you ask? Well, it seems like such a brilliant and ridiculous idea that I can't actually explain it thoroughly.  Click on this link and lose  your speech.

Gamecrush! HOLY...

(Summary after the break)

Cat got your tongue?

For those of you who want a summary, allow me to explain.  Basically, a company puts out an ad on craigslist, asking for girls that want to get paid for playing games. After a couple of them reply, the site is ready to roll.  Each girl (called a 'GameDate') creates a profile on the site and vies for customer's money (that would be you or me, more than likely, you). A customer purchases points; 500 for $8.25 which can then be spent on a 'GameDate' with a 'PlayDate'.  A GameDate is a gaming session that can be done either through a web-browser or XBox Live.  The web-browser kind allows casual Flash games and webcam chat.  XBox Live play nabs you your date's Gamertag so that you may send an invite.  XBL play sessions are ten minutes while the browser ones are six. Girls work as independent contractors, the site merely providing the means by which they can interact with customers and take their dough. Girls will be keeping 60% of the earnings with the rest going to the site.

I give up, read the article, its a lot more in depth than anything you will get out of me right now.

It seems that for now the only games available to play on Xbox will be Grand Theft Auto IV, Modern Warfare 2 and Halo 3. A shame, I was looking forward to get my PuzzleQuest ON!

Ladies sign up for free, and those that collect the most earnings will receive more advertising and better placement on the site.  What if a dude tries to sign up as a lady, seeking a slice of that sweet, sweet pie?

As of now, the site displays a timer counting down to launch. In 15 hours and 41 minutes, Gamecrush will launch and picking up chicks at bar will become obsolete.

    Well, as far as morals go at least it's a better way for girls to make money than masturbating on webcam for guys in a private chat. Or prostitution.

    Hey, if girls are able to get money for playing video games with lonely dudes, more power to them. Like I said, this is a much better alternative than other options (camgirl, stripper, etc.).

    Amazing. Stereotypes of gamers, both male and female, have been exagerrated even more.

    No Carlos, don't do it! What if she gives the herpes to Ramone? Not only will he be threatened around every corner in the unforgiving world of Demon's Souls, but he'll be horribly uncomfortable in the junk. That's a fate I wish on no man, NO MAN.

    Now, I see there's two options, flirty and dirty or a combo. Why not include something that's more like "just have fun". They compare the price to buying a girl a drink in a bar, and I know if a guy buys me a drink in a bar, I don't automatically fly into some flirty or dirty mode. I'm gonna be myself, and if he doesn't like it then he'll move on. I'd actually be more inclined to sign up as a "play date" if there wasn't going to be this silly expectation that I need to flirt with the guy.
