I did not want to like Gotham. I went into it already looking sideways at it, pretty convinced that I was going to be mildly interested in it if at all. I mean, how much “gritty realism” can the superhero genre take in general, the DC Universe in particular? Saturday night the Geek Husband What… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #309 – Review: Gotham
So, yeah, I’m old. I, in fact, remember the 1980s Satanic Panic, where everything from music to movies were tools of Satan just waiting to corrupt and destroy American culture and our way of life. One of the “victims” of the Satanic Panic was Dungeons & Dragons. According to Jack Chick’s “Dark Dungeons,” as well… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #308 – The 80s Satanic Panic and the RPG Industry
Hi! Long time no hear! I want to just warn you all that this podcast gets really angry toward the end. Also, I cry. Now some people will be all, “Ha ha ha! We made her cry! Victory!” If that is the case, your bar is FAAAAARRRRRR too low. Honestly, I cry at everything, all the fucking… Read More Geek Girls Rule! Podcast #36 – Geek Girl Con, Comic Books, and GamerGate
This post is mostly going to be POC. There were far more POC at Geek Girl Con that you usually see at conventions, which makes me happy. I mean, a lot of the conventions I’ve traditionally gone to are really, embarassingly, homogenously, white. I included group pics here if at least one person in the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #307 – Cosplayers of Color at Geek Girl Con!
So, I did not mention here that I’d be at Geek Girl Con this weekend, however I did on twitter. But I was just, I have never recovered my verve for blogging since the years of abuse after the dickwolves bullshit, and I’m thinking this year’s GGC might have fixed that. I met some fantastic… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #306 – Geek Girl Con 2014 and More on Why I Hate Gatekeepers
So, this year at Geek Girl Con a bunch of us were going to Crosplay as an all women Capt. America and the Howlin’ Commandos. I was going to dress up as Dum Dum Dugan. Sadly, our ringleader will not make it, and due to a bunch of other bullshit, I don’t feel like I… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #305 – I Love Being a Nerd
So, um, gallstones are a thing. A thing that sucks. They are a thing that sucks enough to land my ass in the hospital for two nights, and require an endoscopic surgery and a shitload of dilaudid. Yeah. Sorry guys. I’m still on pain pills. I try to post more later.
You know, I was just commenting to someone that it had been MONTHS since the words cunt, bitch, rape, slut, whore or fat pig had shown up in my moderation queue, and I was thinking how NICE that was. Then this shit had to start. So, as I told the Geek Husband What Rules, I’m… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #304 – Gatekeepers are the Enemy
I keep thinking about doing some more substantive posts, about serious things in the geekosphere. You know, like WotC deciding that the two least inclusive people in the entirety of gamer culture should be involved in their “more inclusive” D&D 5e. Or how Randy Queen, the creator of Darkchylde lost his tiny mind over being… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #303 – The Geek Girl What Rules’s Top RPGs
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How much does the Geek Husband What Rules love me? He went out and bought me the four issues that are out so far. And when we got to our new Shadowrun game that night, I immediately sat down and read them all while waiting for the guys to get done cooking dinner, because… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #302 – New Nightcrawler Series from Marvel
