So, a year or so ago, Berlynn Wohl pitched a panel we did at Geek Girl Con, called “Maybe an All-Women Gaming Group is Right for You.”  The panel began with all five of the panelists recounting some of the bullshit we had put up with in gaming when we first started, or over the years.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #333 – What it Means to be a Geek Girl.

So, that appears to be how I roll.  Months of nothing, and then suddenly, I’m moving, sending the Geek Husband What Rules off to a funeral on the other side of the state, doing three conventions in three weeks and a fourth after a break of a week. Go me. So, we moved.  Nerdhaven is no… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #332 – All the Conventions

Which is one of the reasons I loved The Force Awakens, because JJ Abrams obviously loves the original Star Wars, while he does not… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #327 – Why Ghostbusters and Captain America are a false equivalency

Yeah, I got sucked into the drama caused by this interview.  And no I’m not posting the picture, because it pisses me off and my blood pressure is high enough.
