I wasn’t sure if I could get this article in time to you folks, because honestly, I’ve been a bit under the weather-however it helps when the topic today is something we’ve all seen before..many many times. Let’s […]

Social responsibility is definitely a must, and very overlooked. I suppose with a long week dealing with people trying to blame gaming via social media and having to copy paste pages and pages of academic studies it left my hackles not only raised but feeling more than a little irritable. I also lived in a household that went through the satanic…[Read more]

It’s rare that I come into a game that I have some decent expectations about and manage to hold onto those beyond the first two hours or so. It is even rarer for them to be exceeded. After my first few hours of […]

Now, you may have noticed that my Equality in Gaming is all about women. There are a few reasons why. The largest one is that I am a woman who is into games. I am not, however, a member of any other minority, so […]

While media does influence culture, the kind of mass shootings that the US has been under almost all are tied to domestic terrorism and the majority are tied to ultra right wing movements or, in a few cases, Trump’s rhetoric directly-as in quotes and pictures from his rallies and promotional materials.
If your political leader says these…[Read more]

So this week Xevrin and I were taking a look at Pagan Online, (for those you who don’t know, we’re a husband and wife duo) and in most areas, we came out with some pretty similar impressions of the game. Since […]

Now that we’ve got the eye candy rant out of the way-let talk about something eye candy adjacent-armor. Specifically, the unrealistic silliness that is video game armor. No, we won’t start with the cheese/beefcake […]

Yeah Xev said the same thing. Heels and combat do not mix.

I’d like to take credit for this but it’s an expression stolen shamelessly from friends I game with-largely in reference to when one grabs a family size bag from costco and scarfs it by themselves. Sad and alone. Or with a bunch of smart ass gamers. 😛

Confession time: I am not the target audience for this game. I rarely play platformers, if at all. That being said, that was absolutely not a problem when it came to reviewing this game. The problems were anything […]

If you’re looking for an article about body positivity and repealing unrealistic media conceptions of attractive, this is not that article. I won’t be getting into that here, but maybe later. No, this is about […]

There are times when the best thing you can do for a game is to log off and exit out. This is our Wasteland Survival review.

A few years ago TCGs exploded onto the gaming scene, and unlike MMOs, seem to still be going relatively strong, developing their own followings and loyal fans. It seems like everyone has their own special TCG […]

Sad sized bag of Cheetos. Good thing nobody was sitting across from me or they would be covered in orange juice right now.
It is sad that devs still act like women gamers don’t exist and sidekicks are only designed to enhance the male ego.

Even though I’m a heterosexual male I dislike the scantily clothed women avatars wearing high heels and such in a lot of the Eastern MMOs. Guess I prefer realism. I can’t imagine a female warrior heading off into battle in high heels.
