This week gamers all over had a good giggle when news outlets started reporting that the Tea Party Facebook group had posted an image from Bioshock Infinite that had actually been making fun of the Tea Party’s philosophical foundations. The group quickly found themselves with no lack of folks informing […]
Alex starts out the week with a Power Hour Review of Neverwinter: Shadowmantle and a challenge to anyone willing to download the game and join her for some gaming fun. On Tuesday Alisha posts about Sexualizing the Apocalypse in Zombie Games for a fresh, fun look at what it means […]
Let me start by saying the it has long been my secret shame that I have never finished a Legend of Zelda game. There, I said it, I feel better now. It’s out in the open. I feel that I can now move on with my recovery. It’s not that […]
Regardless of which holiday you celebrate (or don’t), what game or game accessory are you hoping to get your hot little hands on this winter break and play while chestnut roast on an open fire? I personally have acquired so much hardware and so many games in the last couple […]
This past Saturday Spike TV sponsored the 2013 Video Game Awards which is now rather inexplicably branded as the VGX Awards because everyone knows adding an “X” to the end of things instantly makes them cooler and more extreme and not at all gives an impression that an eleven year […]
Recently, Alex Layne shared an article on her Facebook page about how gender equality is still by and large a problem for the science fiction world of literature. It’s an interesting read, (you should go and check it out) but not the reason for this post. Instead, what frustrated me […]
Come the apocalypse, I want a good pair of boots, a comfy pair of cargo pants (not too baggy, not too tight), and something that covers my torso pretty completely (weight dependent on weather conditions). You know, failing full body armor or a suit made from sixteen rolls of duct […]
For those of you who love Dungeons and Dragons, you’ll definitely want to check out Neverwinter. Neverwinter is a free MMORPG, with gameplay that is reminiscent of WoW and Diablo 3. It’s a nice mix of classic roleplay with some updated combat and action. They also have something called “The […]
Alex started out the week right by telling us all how to continue to blow our budgets to hell during the holiday season (oh wait, maybe that’s just me) with her Guide to Cyber Monday. Some good tips not only for cyber Monday but for all of the awesome sales […]
Bear with me while I try to explain how the XBox One ruined Christmas. Wednesday night I switched things up a little bit in order to make sure that I was prepared to record the podcast on time. I ran Pea’s bath at 5 so that I could make sure […]
A new contest at NYMG, comment on any post on the blog between midnight 12/4 and 11:59 pm 12/11 to earn am entry into Minority Games’ puzzler, Papo and Yo.
The more active I’ve become in both the so-called “social justice” and feminist gaming communities the more I’ve grown to resent being told and seeing others be told to be more “nice” about things. Perhaps even worse than the direct and obviously aggressive responses or hate messages are those littered […]
Episode 68: Giants and Volcanoes: History of Marketing to Women (or Not) (“Save As” to download or head over to iTunes to subscribe) Please ignore the fact that we called this episode 67 in the intro, we were clearly delusional. Episode 68 is the episode where we talk about the history of […]
As many of you know, I have had a hard time balancing my work life with my hobbies/general interest life which puts a strict hold on my video game playing time. I even wrote an article imploring readers to give me suggestions as to how they find time for video […]
It’s no secret I’m a big fan of State of Decay. In fact, the action-apocalypse title from Undead Labs has easily been one of my favorite adventures of the year, but there are only so many times you can trek through Trumball County, hunting the truth about the army and […]
