This is after a two weeks of coughing.  Yup, I’m sexy. 

Well, the worst of the Plague is over. Granted, I still have no voice, and due to burst blood vessels from coughing fits, my eyes look like the eyes of the zombies in 28 Days Later. No seriously, they do. The whites of my eyes are all completely red with blood. Whee. I’ll probably have… Read More Geek Girls Rule #38 – New Games I’ve Played Recently

Okay, if the words in the title of this article make no sense to you put together like that (girls? my game?), do us all a favor and quit reading now.

Yup. Since Mr. Geek Girl What Rules has been doing his podcast, he’s been pestering me to do my own. In the first one I pretty much just talk about why I named the column Geek Girls Rule!, my geek “cred,” the hotness of geek boys, my deep and abiding love for Richie Rich comics… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #36 – The first Geek Girls Rule! Podcast and some other stuff

Geek Girls Rule! #2 As you know, from the last column, I came to gaming relatively late in life, the age of 19 to be exact. I’d always wanted to game. It sounded fascinating; hanging out with other geeks, pretending to be great heroes, adventurers, other races. Ever since I found out about D&D, I’d… Read More The Geek Girl What Rules’ Greatest Hits – GGR #2 Bad Male Gamer Archetypes

Yeah, I haven’t figured out backdating yet, so old columns will be posting alongside the new ones for awhile. Geek Girls Rule #1  “Oh my GOD!!” What was that? Psst! Over here. That was me, having a minor geek-gasm over the latest issue of Uncanny X-men, in case you were wondering. Yeah, the girl standing… Read More The Geek Girl What Rules’ Greatest Hits – GGR #1

Ok, so I’ve started this column about five times now, each time with a different subject, but this is it. I’m doing it. We’re gonna talk about Podcasts for the Geek World. First, there are a TON of them out there. From Sons of Kryos to Theory from the Closet to Four Color Heroines, there… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #35 – Podcasts for the Geek in You!
