Borimor the Apprentice 1/15/2012 – 2/14/2012 The video game gods are cruel when they take away our characters before our time. My boyfriend and I hoped dear old Borimor would pass away peacefully from old age (aka when we lost interest in Dungeon Defenders), but no. He was snatched away from us just shy of [...]

The matriarchy is coming for your video games
January 11th, 2012 
Jen Video games are no longer safe from our lady-clutches! Why, they’re starting to have female characters in them that aren’t totally worthless or in need of saving! And this has a lot of MRAs worried: I call bullshit on this subject. Video games are the last place for guys to hang out and now women [...]
Kitten assimilation has begun
October 6th, 2011 Jen We’ve named her Pixel. It seems appropriate – she’s already thinking with Portals: And helping me blog: And appreciating my nerdy coffee table books: And helping out my roommate as he plays video games: She even managed to mark all of my Google Reader items as read as she pawed at my laptop. I think [...]
My life is weird
August 26th, 2011 Jen As I was mulling around some indie games at PAX, a very familiar face approached me. Very familiar, because I was certain it was Jerry Holkins, the writer of Penny Arcade (“Tycho”) and half of the duo putting on the very awesome convention I was currently enjoying. “Don’t I know you?” he asked. “Uhhhhh.” I [...]
The church for gamer geeks
August 25th, 2011 Jen Oh goodie. I was already super excited for PAX – my cosplay outfit is done and my Pokemon team is all ready – but now I have a new thing to look forward to. What could possibly top three days of the largest video game conference in the US? Church! GameChurch.com has a booth at [...]
LAN bans women to protect them from misogynists
July 24th, 2011 Jen A LAN party for Battlefield 3 in Texas had this lovely bit of logic in its rules: Nothing ruins a good LAN party like uncomfortable guests or lots of tension, both of which can result from mixing immature, misogynistic male-gamers with female counterparts. Though we’ve done our best to avoid these situations in years past, [...]
Why Civilization is so fun
September 25th, 2010 Jen Nabbed from Politics and Pucks: Oh Civ. You’re so addictive.
I’m ready to take over the world with Rationalism
September 20th, 2010 Jen Who else is going to waste their entire Tuesday playing Civilization 5? I’m purposefully making this post now because tomorrow I’m going to be too busy conquering the world. I’m a huge Civ fan, though I got into the series a bit late. A friend introduced me to Civ3 in high school, so I played [...]
Boobquake: The Game
September 3rd, 2010 Jen I can now add “Having a game made out of it” to my boobquake meme’s growing list of accomplishments. I’m not sure where it fits in with appearing on the Colbert Report and having a Wikipedia article, but it’s up there. Here’s the trailer: I admit I felt about every emotion possible while watching that. [...]
Question quickfire
August 1st, 2010 Jen Twitter is down and both of my friends have left me to go to sleep. I suddenly feel very alone. In order to pretend I’m conversing with someone, time for some quick formspring.me questions! What kind of clothing do you find sexy? I like it when guys dress up nice. Like, snazzy button down shirt [...]
