I almost titled this one “Wil Wheaton is Smoking Crack” but I thought that might be a little over the top. I follow Wil Wheaton’s twitter, and while he didn’t say Scribblenauts was bad, he said it was a rent-er not a buy-er, or words to that affect. Which made me sad. I thought the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #103 – Scribblenauts
Oh for the love of little green apples… I first heard about this from Hoyden about Town. Essentially, villian Chameleon impersonates Peter Parker and sleeps with Peter’s room-mate. When people start to point out to the writer that this constitutes rape, his response is: “My understanding of the definition of rape is that it requires… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #102 – Really, Marvel?
THEY FUCKED UP ZARTAN!!!!! ETA: I have been informed that Zartan does not look like the orange-haired green nightmare below. Unfortunately, I can’t find ANY other pictures of him from the film. From the moment I heard about this project all I could think was, “It’s gonna have Zartan, and he’s gonna be played by… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #99 – Why I Won’t Be Seeing the GI Joe movie. Ever.
My friends and I have a running joke that people we admire are our “tv boyfriends” or “action movie girlfriends” or whatever. We use this to describe people we do not know, will probably never meet and can only admire from afar. We find this exceptionally funny, but I’m pretty sure that to the uninitiated… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #98 – My New Literary Boyfriend
So, we all know about Orson Scott Card’s homophobic paranoia (gay marriage = end of democracy OMG!WTFBBQ!!!!). Well, the ranks of homophobic SF authors are swelling. John C. Wright has posted a screed about the darn homos gettin’ homosex in his Sci Fi on his personal (not friends-locked) journal, which was pointed out here by… Read More Geek Girls Rule #97 – Using My Powers for Good!!!
According to the wonderful, charming and beautiful Rachael at The F-Word, Sony’s Fat Princess is on the market. And, as before, we have people, including women, coming out of the woodwork to tell us how it’s totally not offensive, and that the designers totally didn’t mean to offend people. A. As I said in a reply… Read More Geek Girls Rule! 96 – Fat Princess is BACK!

Today is the second anniversary of this blog/column, at least its presence here in this space. It had existed for about nine months previous, at it’s first home at Media Gauntlet, and would leave Media Gauntlet not long after I started this blog to promote it. I started the column itself with little more direction… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #95 – Happy Birthday to GGR!!!

Surprisingly enough this post isn’t going to be about EA Games. As one of the Gothy persuasion, I am constantly on the lookout for good vampire novels. As with every time the “Darque and Spooky” experience a rennaissance, an awful lot of dross gets published along with the mediocre and excellent. So, knowing this and… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #94 – On Alienating Your Fan Base
