Lovely website you got here.. :) I tend to think I can jump, but it's probably because i grew up on jumping required video games like super mario bros, zelda, etc. Maybe its just bc girls generally play alot less video games when they are young so they don't have the "childhood training" unlike a nerdy gamer like me. Most of my gaming buddies are male, that's for sure. Hey Sally! Lovely website you got here..

With the developing trend in the use of warfare robotics controlled in real time, remotely, via virtual reality video interfaces - there could be training issues that need addressing for female Warfare System Operators (WSO) Submission of discussion paper to the relevant Army department might be appreciated.

But I think I started out like that too. Come to think of it, I still suck at the original Super Mario Bros., like the very first one. SOO hard lol. Maybe there IS a jumping problem... I play FPS games, so I guess I'm one of the exceptions. I've been playing Battlefront II a little bit here and there, it's great for stress relief. I think I'm a pretty crazy berserker player, I usually just charge in and shoot, screw any kind of strategy. I won't say that I'm anywhere near the top, but I'm not at the bottom of the ladder either. I remember Maura and I used to play Quake II together back in the day... She'd control the mouse while I pressed the arrow keys. Great stuff. That’s scary… But I think I started out like that too.
