Girl Gamers Trained in Secret Swedish Facility

The San Francisco Chronicle ran a nice feature on Saturday about the video game industry realising there's money to be made from girl gamers, and what they're doing to tap into that sizeable demographic. The article mainly focuses on 19 year-old Jamie Lee: Lee currently lives with members of an all-female team, Girlz of Destruction, in a video game training facility in Sweden. You have got to be kidding me. That can't be for real. An all-female training facility? In Sweden? You can't go starting an otherwise thoughtful and well-crafted piece on women in gaming with that; men are weak, and as such are prone to impure thoughts.
