GameCrush - would you pay a girl to play a game with you?

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.

Egads.

[Kitsune Sniper]

If you have to resort to paying money to someone to get them to play with you, then you really are hopeless.

skaar, you sir have successfully numbed my mind.

[kupomogli]

$8.25 to play a game for 10 minutes? And it's not even in person. If I spend $8 it better be at my house so I have the chance to talk her into doing it in those 10 minutes.

[gamedude45]

this is pretty sad if there are people who actually use this "service" and it's pretty sad that their adding it to consoles. Just imagine what could happen if this gets to the wii.

(a mother walks into a kids bedroom) Johnny who are you playing with? oh i'm playing with Jessica. Who's she? She's the lady i'm paying to play with me. What do you mean your paying to play with her!? Well I found her on this new channel on the Wii and I wanted to play with her so i gave her some of my Wii points to play with her! Do you atleast know anything about her!? She likes vibrating controllers!

[skaar]

If Tune sees this I'm hosed, by these calculations I owe her a fortune for dragging me through RE5 twice...

[Icarus Moonsight]

gum drops beat me to it... And OMG! Call Ratchet! Megatron has mumps! LOL

Craiglist escorts are cheaper and most offer outcall. Yes, I'm certain they will play Wii Sports with you for $200/hr. You'll probably become their favorite client. No risk or clean up. LOL

[megamaniaman]

To tell you the truth I never really had the desire to play video games with others. Heck I kind of suck at games when I have to compete with other players. Though it is extremely saddening that the world has come to this.:(

[RP2A03]

I'm not paying for a girl to play games with me. I'm going to be a rich pimp playing with my many fantabulous gamer call girls for free.:pimp:

[Garry Silljo]

That's not cheaper.

[Rickstilwell1]

I doubt that girls these days really need to be paid to play video games with you these days unless you really don't know how to communicate with them.

There's plenty of variety for them now. The Wii for the physically active, RPGs for the ones with big imaginations, and the shooters for the tougher minded ones out there. And I think girls have always liked puzzle games and most I know tend to enjoy more retro games especially characters like Mario or Sonic.

One series my cousins really enjoy is Mario Kart and they've gotten good.

A simple "here try this, it's fun" usually gets me pretty far with my female friends.

[maxlords]

Screw that...I'd rather just pretend to be a girl and get paid to game.

[Gameguy]

A perfect service for the socially inept. I can just imagine what these people were like while growing up.

cute voice is kinda all that matters really

[G-Boobie]

This is some shady, out of touch business we've got here.

[Oobgarm]

Quite possibly the biggest load of fail I've ever seen.

[Icarus Moonsight]

That's not cheaper.

Well, ask one of them GameCrush whores how much they charge for outcall. :p

[BetaWolf47]

Can't you just pay a chick in an alley the same price to guarantee doing that?

[Porksta]

Is it at least prorated? I don't know if I could last 10 minutes.

[jcalder8]

Wow that's just pretty messed up right there. I don't play that much online but I've come across a couple girls just by chance so why pay someone.

[Cornelius]

Is it at least prorated? I don't know if I could last 10 minutes.

... and Porksta wins the thread!

[hbkprm]

i cant wait for the launch of gamecrush
its something i want to do on my birthday
trust me

This is victory, I think.

[Push Upstairs]

Didn't some kid hire a hooker to play "Halo" with him a few years back?

ass-to-mouth, 2 dollars shipped, otherwise no deal

[kupomogli]

For those who playing games with just one girl isn't enough.

Threesomes. Only $16.50.

I'm still trying to figure out why she is wearing earrings, but she's not wearing any pants...

Yes, the presence of our second X chromosome means we are genetically coded to like puzzle games, and our personalities determine what other games we like, just like our zodiacs.

Anyway, it's too bad I don't like FPSs. :P Anybody wanna pay me to watch me play a single-player platformer or RPG? Haha. :)

Post one on Youtube and get enough views to for Youtube to put the ads above your name on the page. I'll click the ad and watch your video :P.

That's about as close as I'll come to pay to watch someone play a video game.

[Zthun]

This has to be the lowest form of desperation I've ever seen. I'd rather play pit fighter for 8 hours. Absolute fail. :frustrated:

[BHvrd]

So what will be the etiquette for these "play sessions". Would it be appropriate to ask her if I can T-bag her or/and use her for target practice?

This could be very interesting if there are no boundaries or rules to the conversation. HEY BABY I ONLY GOT 8 MINUTES!! BEND SHEVA ALOMAR OVER SO I CAN GET MY CHRIS REDFIELD ON, YEAH!

Let the recordings commence..

[Gameguy]

I'm still trying to figure out why she is wearing earrings, but she's not wearing any pants...
Pants don't fit.


Anyway;

[Icarus Moonsight]

I'm still trying to figure out why she is wearing earrings, but she's not wearing any pants...

I'd say, "That's where the ankles go." But she's not wearing hula hoops.

BHvrd: I'm assuming 'headshots' are extra...

[CDiablo]

I wonder what would happen if I paid one of these girls for an hour of 1 on 1 FPS gaming and used wall and auto headshot hacks to obliterate her.

[ubersaurus]

Shit, I've been doing this for free for years. I hope that this isn't retroactive.

[Icarus Moonsight]

She'd still take your money.

[Push Upstairs]

I am rather curious to know if there are set rules as far as things you can say to these ladies...since Live is full of chivalry, etiquette, and manners.

You never go ass-to-mouth.

[Namnuta]

I doubt this is true, but its from there website.

I bet they just screwed something up or someone is messing with them. /b/ maybe??

[The 1 2 P]

I didn't believe this the moment I read "$8.25 for ten minutes". Since when do hookers, strippers, web cam girls, gamer chix take change?

[skaar]

I think they want you to tip. Also I call shenanegans on the overload.

[Cobra Commander]

I'm already paying $50 per year for XBL. Why would I ever pay even more to play with someone?

[Cryomancer]

I bet a lot of the use of this service will just be for getting online achivements and the people won't talk about anything but that particular goal.

[Mimi Nakamura]

Interesting business idea!

[skaar]

I bet a lot of the use of this service will just be for getting online achivements and the people won't talk about anything but that particular goal.

Ohoho! A new spin on achievement whoring!

[monkeychemist]

prostitution has reached a new low...or high?

[Push Upstairs]

To get a girl for 1 hour will set ya back $49.50.

Your call on if that is "high" or "low".

[Eternal Tune]

If Tune sees this I'm hosed, by these calculations I owe her a fortune for dragging me through RE5 twice...

Normal and Veteran were free, but Professional mode is gonna cost you.

[SegaAges]

Dude, they should rent out some of the pro FPS chicks.

Oh man would that throw people off to get annihilated by the game hookers.

You know, I kind of want to be a game hooker now.

[Icarus Moonsight]

Remember when it only cost a quarter to get your ass kicked in a game?... In person and public no less...

Everything has a golden age I guess.

[Eternal Tune]

I'm interested in a career in video game whoring, but I thought s1lence had that market tapped.

Also, I should note, I can not work for gamecrush, as you are not allowed to swear at your customers, and everyone knows I talk like a drunken sailor.

[SamuraiSmurfette]

Damn. If I get paid $30 an hour to play online games, I really don't care how many cocks I have to look at...

[The 1 2 P]

Damn. If I get paid $30 an hour to play online games, I really don't care how many cocks I have to look at...

Just pretend they are different colored Wiimotes....with only two buttons.

[scooterb23]

So, are sealed game collectors able to talk to a virgin through this service?

[Icarus Moonsight]

Some might not even care, unless she gets her kitty slabbed, to preserve the integrity. They would still need to see the hymen, or have her OBGYN send them certification of it's intact existence before hand... Under penalty of perjury! LOL

[Slate]

Why do that when you can actually find a friend on Xbox Live? It most likely won't cost anything. Oh, But then there's the waiting to find that friend... Yeah, I don't bump into girls who I don't know on Xbox Live often.

[Push Upstairs]

So, are sealed game collectors able to talk to a virgin through this service?

I figured virgins would be the main users using this service. :p

[monkeychemist]

couldn't you use the chatroulette gif hack and make $??
