I love pro wrestling. I do. Mr. Geek Girl What Rules got me into it when we first got together, and I’m hooked. I think I may be more into it than he is now. I’m certainly the one who says, “Ooo! 9 o’clock! Time for TNA!” on Thursday nights. And when Jeff Jarrett announced… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #62 – Speaking of Things I Love that Occasionally Kick Me in the Teeth
Whew, it’s been a while. I’ve started this post three times so far, but life kept intruding. And it has been a hectic life lately, but I’ll fill you in on that at the bottom of this. What I want to talk about is one-on-one roleplay. Not THAT sort of roleplay, although it can turn… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #61 – One on One Gaming
You’d think, having read many, er, any of my previous posts, that I wouldn’t have to say this. But from surfing forums and reading replies to this column and in others, it’s pretty obvious that, yes, I do: Life is too short to game with Assholes. I’m serious. There are so many venues for gaming… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #60 – Life is too short to game with Assholes.
Because my friends are trying to drive me to an early grave via aneurysm, heart attack or stroke, I was recently directed to a forum with a discussion about the treatment of female gamers by male gamers. That wasn’t the blood pressure rising aspect of it. With my background with the He-Male Woman Haters Association… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #59 – Cross-Gender Playing. Yes? No? Maybe?
What the fucking fuckity-fuck-fuck-fuck-fucking fuck? GGR reader Rachel alerted me to an article in the awesome blog the F-Word about an article on a Videogame site about which is better, girls or games. Ok, I’ll let that sink in before I get to the actual article. The article can be found here: http://www.gamesradar.com/f/games-vs-girls-which-is-best/a-2008073011325861001 I’m not… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #58 – And now we know why you buttheads can’t get a date.
So, Friday night Marcy and I stopped at Cupcake Royale, the hipster cupcake place here in Seattle, to pick up dessert for the Girl Game. Marcy was just recently voted in to the Girl Game to replace a member who bailed on us. Most of the girls cook for the game, I, alas, do not… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #57 – The Stigma of Being Geek
Ok, cats and kittens, I don’t usually post about politics here, because that’s real world stuff and I geek to get away from that shit. But this, being geek-related as it is, and both appalling me and making me laugh out loud, bore special mention. From John McCain’s Website: “It may be typical of the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #56 – Probably the only openly political post you’ll ever see here.
Start looking for the goat-headed boy, because the apocalypse, she’s a coming! The article is “Top 5 most preposterous getups in games” and I agree with them. A lot. The commentary under the screen caps is freaking hilarious, too. Under the screenshot of La Mariposa from Dead or Alive 4: “…because nothing says “I’m a… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #55 – An Article on Female Video Game Costumes that DIDN’T Make my Head Explode!
So, Saturday I ran the game where all the characters were the children of adults who had been killed in a medieval fortress. Up until I started running it I hadn’t decided what had killed them, but I had ideas. So, after my grilling plans were torpedoed by the stupid weather, we moved everything inside. … Read More Geek Girls Rule! 54.5 – Saturday’s Game.
I GM fairly frequently, well at least once a month with the Girl Game, but pretty often outside of that. This weekend, I’ve set myself up to run two games. Tonight (Friday) I’ll be running up to Stax’s place to run one of three choices I emailed her earlier today, all fantasy-based, for her and… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #54 – I Run Games
