(Originally posted at Media Gauntlet) Being as I’m a mostly-taken geek girl, the question I get most frequently from my male geek counterparts is, “Do you have a friend you can fix me up with?” Sometimes I answer “Sure,” sometimes I hesitate, sometimes I answer with an unequivocal “No.” There are reasons for these answers.… Read More Geek Girls Rule Greatest Hits #14 – Attracting Geek Girls Part I
Geek Girls Rule! #13 Look, it’s not whining about comics! I promise! Okay, look, I know D&D is the grand dame of gaming. It is the Progenitor. Blah blah blah… I don’t like it. I have always found the rules system clunky, difficult and far too much work for something that is supposed to be… Read More Geek Girls Rule Greatest Hits #13 – Why I hate D20
Ok, so when they asked me to review this, my hopes were not high. One writer (Adam Slutsky) lists rags like Maxim and Stuff as his notable writing credits. The other writer (Joseph Phillip Illidge) has worked for DC, his bio says on some Batman titles, but I’m having trouble turning up which runs specifically.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #50 – Comic Review: Ayre Force
(Originally posted on Media Gauntlet) Yup, it’s comics again. Well, my gaming life has been going pretty well.

The WSJ on girls reading… Read More The Geek Girls What Rules Greatest Hits – #12 Girls and Comics
(Originally posted at Media Gauntlet) Get their obsession wrong. It’s a joke I first heard from a stand-up comedian. He was talking about driving by the lines for Star Wars: Episode I and yelling “Star Trek sucks!” just to watch the fans’ heads explode. I laughed. Because it’s true. And just recently I demonstrated to myself once again how… Read More The Geek Girl What Rules’ Greatest Hits – #11 How to Piss off a Geek
(Originally posted at Media Gauntlet) Why, yes, I am a masochist, thank you for noticing. After the resultant foo-for-all that came up after my “women in comics” post, which in turn resulted in my forming my own damn Livejournal community to discuss comics (women_n_comics at livejournal.com ), I’m almost afraid to keep discussing them. Even my bitchy,… Read More The Geek Girl What Rules’ Greatest Hits – #10 Comic Book Obsessions
Yes, I know. I SAID I didn’t need another hobby. I SAID I wasn’t going to get all excited about anything else until I’d finished a few more projects. I know what I SAID. What I did is pick up Voluptuous Panic: The erotic world of Weimar Berlin by Mel Gordon and become utterly enraptured… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #49 – My New Obsession and My Angry Feminist Rant
It’s not as incoherent as I’m making it out to be. I did drink too much vodka. Who would have thought Kagome made such a great mixer? Go to the Podcast. Anyway, I talk about GoPlayNW and all the fun I had there, including the most awesome game of Don’t Rest Your Head I’ve played… Read More Geek Girls Rule! Podcast #5 – I drink too much vodka and talk about geeky stuff
In spite of the fact that my last little temper tantrum about 9 Chickweed Lane may have cost me a friendship, here I go again. I feel I need to state again, that I actually enjoyed 9 Chickweed Lane until very recently, a lot. That’s why I read it. I generally don’t continue to subject… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #48 – 9 Chickweed Lane, again
