First, I have to admit to having read an Orson Scott Card novel, and even enjoying it. It was nice, middle of the road fantasy/sci fi novel, heavy on the allegory about TEH EVULS OF TEH FLESH (particularly female flesh), but apart from that, it was ok. Honestly, I had to go look it up… Read More Geek Girls Rule #53 – Why does Orson Scott Card keep putting that extra ‘m’ in the word “moron?”
Yeah, I know, you were all hoping I’d got that out of my system earlier in the “I’m not a bad feminist” rant. Well, I was, too. But reality keeps slapping me in the face like a spastic haddock, and I am bull-headed enough to charge when I see red. Ok, people… I always smile… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #52 – More Angry Feminist Musings
Ok, I survived my trek into the wilds of Michigan, with only minimal bug bites. Saw my grandparents, and reconnected with the family. Tonight is the Girl Game, and hopefully we’ll get some actual playing in. Have heard nothing from one member of the game since she expressed her displeasure with my topic from the… Read More Drive-by updating
Ok, so I am actually old enough to have seen the original series during it’s original run on network television. I also watched the late 70s/early 80s Buck Rogers series. I know, I’m dating myself. I even had an Apollo doll (one of the 13″ ones) and my sister had a Cylon. However, even with… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #51 – Battlestar Galactica

(Originally posted at Media Gauntlet) Being as I’m a mostly-taken geek girl, the question I get most frequently from my male geek counterparts is, “Do you have a friend you can fix me up with?” Sometimes I answer “Sure,” sometimes I hesitate, sometimes I answer with an unequivocal “No.” There are reasons for these answers.… Read More Geek Girls Rule Greatest Hits #14 – Attracting Geek Girls Part I
Geek Girls Rule! #13 Look, it’s not whining about comics! I promise! Okay, look, I know D&D is the grand dame of gaming. It is the Progenitor. Blah blah blah… I don’t like it. I have always found the rules system clunky, difficult and far too much work for something that is supposed to be… Read More Geek Girls Rule Greatest Hits #13 – Why I hate D20
Ok, so when they asked me to review this, my hopes were not high. One writer (Adam Slutsky) lists rags like Maxim and Stuff as his notable writing credits. The other writer (Joseph Phillip Illidge) has worked for DC, his bio says on some Batman titles, but I’m having trouble turning up which runs specifically.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #50 – Comic Review: Ayre Force
(Originally posted on Media Gauntlet) Yup, it’s comics again. Well, my gaming life has been going pretty well. I like all my games, haven’t had to fire any players, finally got my all-girl game scheduled for this month. But, DAMN, the comics thing keeps getting my knickers in a wad. The WSJ on girls reading… Read More The Geek Girls What Rules Greatest Hits – #12 Girls and Comics
(Originally posted at Media Gauntlet) Get their obsession wrong. It’s a joke I first heard from a stand-up comedian. He was talking about driving by the lines for Star Wars: Episode I and yelling “Star Trek sucks!” just to watch the fans’ heads explode. I laughed. Because it’s true. And just recently I demonstrated to myself once again how… Read More The Geek Girl What Rules’ Greatest Hits – #11 How to Piss off a Geek
