Mass Effect 2 Subject Zero
February 7th, 2010 by

I admire female warrior archetypes. Strong female characters in games (books, TV and movies as well, to be honest) are something which has always interested me. Zoe in Firefly is the perfect example of a strong, but still feminine character. Samantha Carter, although undeniably intelligent, lacked something in the “warrior woman” area. Claudia Black’s character [...]

While I was catching up on blogs that I read in those last burned-out fifteen minutes of a long day, I read a very nice interview with Mynxee of Life in Low Sec: GamePlay and Women in EVE. There is a lot of talk today that the gaming industry need more women. What improvements are [...]

We Are As Gods
September 12th, 2007 by

The ever-awesome Hammer of Grammar has a very funny comic up: We Are As Gods. I love it – too perfect, as with all of the episodes. Nice artwork, too. Aside from that, I’ve nothing to write about this week. To stressed, too busy. And six nights a week we raid like it was a [...]
