Future, the publisher responsible for a wide range of UK gaming magazines as well sites like GamesRadar and CVG, has extended its tentacle-like reach over games media by opening a dating site aimed at gamers. A dating site ... aimed at gamers.
I really should just have my palm surgically attached to my face.
"Game 4 A Date is a dating site designed just for you, helping you to find that someone special who shares a zeal for games," the site claims. My brain is at risk of suffering an overload as it tries to process the many millions of sarcastic comments I could make all at once. Just ... too much mockery to be had.
I'll be nice and give it a chance though. Perhaps the twelve-year-old pricks who seem to fill most game servers and communities just need the love of a good woman, and maybe good women actually find whining curly-haired little pricks who "do it for the lulz" to be utterly charming.
Hey, and who knows? Maybe loads of intelligent, funny, attractive women will join this site and it won't be just one pedophile with a scooter who calls himself Tank.

I seriously think this has to be the worst idea I've read in a while.
Yeah, I know that girls do game and some better than guys, but I don't think they'd go for anything like this. And even then..
*shudders* Yeah, this sounds bad. And as I type this, there's an eHarmony ad! D:
Ok, a little about myself, my name is kimberley and im 23, im a Friendly, outgoing and bubbly person, Do the usual, Drink,Pubs,Clubs and films.i am a..
HI I AM 25, AND FROM NORFOLK , I AM SINGLE I LIKE TO COOK AND CRAFT I LIKE GO OUT TO PUB AND REASTAURANTS AND I LIKE TO GO TO MOVIE I LIKE GO OUT DANC...
It just looks like some generic dating site. What a load of shit.
if any of these girls were really gamers, they would post ANYTHING about video games. I've yet to see 1 girl who even posts she likes games. So I call bs.
It's just a bog standard dating site that Future has managed to now get some free exposure for on some gaming websites.
This all makes me unhappy because I really wanted to find a woman 18-30 (pictures only) no more than 50 miles away from me who likes to dress like Tifa, and has completed Super Mario Bros 3 without using warp whistles.
Maybe, because the site already assumes that games are amongst your interests? :)
Anyway, the site still seems BS, altough a girlfriend or potential wife that plays video games with you is not all that a bad idea.
And she wouldn't even consider this shit o.O
Chicks don't dig games, or gamers 90% of the time. The only [serious] customers that site is going to get are the ones that don't know that.
Its just a lame ass store front to a whored out database of losers.
Discussion end.
This site just says FAIL all over it..
FUTURE, FOR SHAAAME!!
This is ridiculous, and hence i think will now be used as a hilarious way to spend my spare time.
And somehow it just gets funnier to know that people register for more than the lol's.
