Supernatural Noir is a short story collection, edited by Ellen Datlow (one of the best SF/F collection editors ever in my opinion) and published by Dark Horse Comics. The stories all concern supernatural elements, in a very noir style. Many of them emulate the literature of the Noir period (1930s) embodied in the works… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #247 – Review: Supernatural Noir
I will be completely honest, I had had absolutely no interest in seeing Cloud Atlas until my beloved Karrin took me to see it. Part of that is, since we don’t do TV on TV, we don’t see ads, ever. We also don’t get the newspaper. What little I had seen about it concerned the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #246 – Review: Cloud Atlas

Ok, so I’ve longed maintained that I wouldn’t interview guys on the podcast because there are assloads of guys in the geek podcasting world, and I like maintaining the place as one for women by women. But, that said, when it comes to certain topics, like “Nice Guy-“ism, Rape, and the infamous “Friend Zone,” guys… Read More Geek Girls Rule!

How does The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey compare to The Lord of the Rings trilogy? It’s “a lesser son of greater sires,” a disappointment based on the lofty expectations set by its predecessors. Sixty years prior to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, wizard Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen) visits hobbit… Read More Review: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Ok, I’ve been promising you guys a post-con wrap up for awhile. I apologize. Writing has sort of eaten all my time. That and playtesting. So we may be on a once a week schedule here for awhile.

Ok, I am going to go over this one more time. Spurred on by yet another Twitter discussion. Parties can out themselves here if they so desire. No one is trying to demonize honestly awkward dudes of any age with the phrase “Nice Guy ™.” “Nice Guys” aren’t actually awkward.
