So, the Geek Household What Rules does not currently have cable. There are many other things we’d rather spend our money on, and really all that happens when we have cable is I waste entire days watching terrible movies on Syfy, or Criminal Minds marathons on A&E. Between the lack of cable and the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #196 – WWE Survivor Series and Chikara Pro Wrestling.
I hate it. A lot. The Geek Husband What Rules is playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and in several levels you are attacked by dogs and have to kill them. Every time one of them yelps, I flinch. I noted this on my personal Facebook, and a friend replied that he found it interesting… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #195 – Violence Towards Animals in Videogames.
So, I posted my ideas for AmberconNW games for next year, and I’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback on the idea of the Victorian Monster hunters game. Now, how I usually prepare for games is I make about half a page of notes that includes three or four high points I’d like them to… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #194 – Plotting a Game
As usual, I had a fantastic time at AmberconNW. For those of you who are new to the blog, AmberconNW is a little teeny roleplaying convention just outside of Portland, OR, devoted primarily to the Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game and other games that can be bent to work in the world of Amber as written… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #193 – AmberconNW Post Con Wrap Up
I love cosplayers with all my heart and soul, bitching about big, giant wings in convention hallways and dealer’s rooms notwithstanding. As someone who cannot sew to save my life, I am in awe of them. I mean, I’ve done some, but only real simple things. I’m planning on going as Little Lotta from the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #192 – Cosplay!!!!
Making the rounds of Tumblr today (Oh, Tumblr, how I love and despise thee) is this darling post. In addition to his completely charming lack of punctuation, capitalization and atrocious grammar, is the oh, so adorable misogyny dripping from every word. Because you know, girls regardless of hotness are NEVER into comics, ever. Oh, but… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #191 – Sexism in Geek Culture
I am having the worst writer’s block in the history of writer’s block. I’ve got a couple of posts started, but about halfway through they fall apart, and then… feh. So, in lieu of that I’m posting pictures of the Geek Husband What Rules’s new gaming group. And another shot of all these dorks in… Read More In Lieu of Actual Content, You Get Hot Nerd Boys In My House
So, apparently it’s time for the comics fanverse to lose its mind again. As you’ve seen from Danielle’s reviews, DC has rebooted the universe, and if you follow us on Tumblr, then you’ll know it’s not all sunshine and roses in Mudville, er, rather Gotham right now. The biggest bone of contention, apart from Zatanna’s… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #190 – Sexism in Comics… Again.
The fifth book in Seanan McGuire’s October Daye series, One Salt Sea is every bit as incredible as the first four books. And, as with the other four books, I should have taken my own advice and not read the last three or four chapters on the bus. As usual, I wound up trying to… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #189 – One Salt Sea Review
Week before last the Geek In-Laws What Rule took us down to southern Oregon for a week at a fishing/hunting “resort.” It was a blast! We met up with the Geek Husband What Rules’s aunt and cousins. I got to take my Father-in-Law’s one man pontoon out on the lake and irritate waterfowl for hours. … Read More What I Did On My Summer Vacation by The Geek Girl What Rules
