Ok, I’m not a huge steampunk fan. I have, in fact, been heard to opine that steampunk is what happens when goths discover brown. But honestly, I’m pretty content to live and let live, and I do enjoy well crafted costumes, regardless of subject matter. So, I have no particular beef with steampunk. I don’t… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #231 – Review: Mark Hodder’s Burton and Swinburne Books!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, I’m calm. Ahem. So, speaking of Superheroes, the Geek Room-mate What Rules took me and the Geek Husband What Rules to see The Avengers for my birthday this weekend. Now, I realize that there are a few people out there who are not so pleased with the movie, but let me clarify what… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #211 – Review: The Avengers!!!!!
Oh. My. Gods. Cards Against Humanity is BRILLIANT! Seriously, go buy this game! It’s essentially the horrible person’s Apples to Apples. Ok, with some caveats: If you are the kind of person who finds dead baby jokes offensive, then do not get this game. If anyone asks you to play this game, slap them and… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #209 – Review: Cards Against Humanity
I wasn’t sure what to expect with this novella. I hadn’t read any of Ms. Morrigan’s other stuff, but I got it at Norwescon and once I finished sobbing my eyes out at the third Hunger Games book, I piled into this one. The Summoning is a novella in Ms. Morrigan’s Custodes Noctis series, an… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #207 – Review: The Summoning by Muffy Morrigan
Ok, so there is one problem with not having cable and watching all your television on Netflix, and that’s that you spend a lot of time being woefully behind the times. But, I’m enthusiastic enough about this show that I really don’t care. Weapon Masters is hosted by Chad (an engineer/mad scientist) and Mike who… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #205 – Weapon Masters
So, I know that Facebook games are supposed to be for women, the hated and maligned “Casual Gamers.” As if fucking around on Facebook games is going to somehow take away your penis or something, I don’t even know. But the fact remains, there are games on Facebook, I am a gamer, I like games,… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #204 – I Review a Facebook Game
Jen has emerged from her long post-grad school hiatus, to give us a column! Everybody wave and say “Hi!” When the first Neverwinter Nights game came out in 2002, I played the hell out of it. Shadowlords, Dreamcatcher, and Penultima—I devoured the custom content, and I even had a stint as a beta tester for… Read More Bad Game Writing – A rare Jen-spotting
GO BUY THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW!!!!! Ahem. Allow me to collect myself. Ok, Seanan McGuire is one of the very few authors that I will go out of my way to buy the first week their books come out.

So, the Geek Husband What Rules got Batman: Arkham City for his birthday. The gameplay is excellent, even for someone like me who has trouble controlling the camera. It’s a huge sandbox of a world, well imagined. It’s beautiful. There are tons of missions to undertake, major and side missions. As with Arkham Asylum there’… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #201 – Arkham City
I love horror movies, and I don’t watch them often enough. Really, I don’t. Part of that has to do with the fact that the Geek Husband What Rules really doesn’t like them, and I’m kind of fussy about my horror. I’ve got no use for ‘people being shitty to other people’ horror films, as… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #200 – Horror Movies, Hooray!
