EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, I’m calm. Ahem. So, speaking of Superheroes, the Geek Room-mate What Rules took me and the Geek Husband What Rules to see The Avengers for my birthday this weekend. Now, I realize that there are a few people out there who are not so pleased with the movie, but let me clarify what… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #211 – Review: The Avengers!!!!!
So, many of us in Seattle were cooled out beyond cooled out when we found out we had our own superhero. Until now… Phoenix Jones has been aiding citizens in distress in our fair city since last winter. And many of us of the nerdly persuasion cheered him on. Until May 2nd. Well, May 1st… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #210 – Seattle Needs a Better Superhero
Oh. My. Gods. Cards Against Humanity is BRILLIANT! Seriously, go buy this game! It’s essentially the horrible person’s Apples to Apples. Ok, with some caveats: If you are the kind of person who finds dead baby jokes offensive, then do not get this game. If anyone asks you to play this game, slap them and… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #209 – Review: Cards Against Humanity
So, the concept art for White Wolf’s new product was released briefly on Tuesday, and I’d show it to you but apparently in the face of all the criticism flung its way, they’ve taken the gallery down.

The Summoning is a novella in Ms. Morrigan’s Custodes Noctis series, an… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #207 – Review: The Summoning by Muffy Morrigan
And yes, this IS episode 26. I got the numbering right this time. Jenna Pittman and I reprise our Feminism in Fandom panel from Norwescon. It’s a fun talk, it gets a little real world political toward the end, but mostly we stick to the subject matter at hand. See the link for show notes.… Read More Geek Girls Rule!

I started going to SF/F conventions many moons ago, when the earth was flat and computers were made of wood, as my buddy Chris always said. I was 18, I’d always been a geek, a little socially awkward, and into SF/F. My room-mate at the time was really into Cons, and convinced me to drive… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #206 – My Love Letter to Fandom
So I’ll be at Norwescon this weekend, so if you’re going to be there, swing by one or more of my panels and say hi!! I’m the grouchy, fat redhead in glasses and a lot of black (I realize this may not narrow things down much). Friday 4 pm Cascade 2 Goth on a Budget… Read More Drive By Posting!!!!
Ok, so there is one problem with not having cable and watching all your television on Netflix, and that’s that you spend a lot of time being woefully behind the times. But, I’m enthusiastic enough about this show that I really don’t care. Weapon Masters is hosted by Chad (an engineer/mad scientist) and Mike who… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #205 – Weapon Masters
So, I know that Facebook games are supposed to be for women, the hated and maligned “Casual Gamers.” As if fucking around on Facebook games is going to somehow take away your penis or something, I don’t even know. But the fact remains, there are games on Facebook, I am a gamer, I like games,… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #204 – I Review a Facebook Game
