Eventually he and some other buddies of ours formed a gaming group with me and the Mister. … Read More In Memoriam…
Yup, you knew it was bound to happen.

Geek Girls Rule!… Read More Geek Girls Rule! Podcast #6 – Sex and Gaming
I know putting 52.5 after 53 might seem counterintuitive, but this really is just an extension of the More Angry Feminist musings entry. So one of my most favorite whinging lefties, actually like me, she’s more of a jumping up and down on your throat lefty, Melissa McEwan, the founder of Shakesville, did an interview… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #52.5 – As long as the media keeps lobbing them out there, I’ll keep smashing them back.
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
