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 […]
[Sam, I know you have no self-control when it comes to buying games. Please, for your own sake, don’t read this article] If you’re anything like me, you spent many hours shopping last week but made sure not to tell anyone about it, so as to avoid the backlash from […]
Alex started off the week with her, Confessions of a First-Time Pokemon Player and shared with us how and why she is so fascinated with the new Pokemon X and Y games. As a first time player myself I can really understand. Alisha shared her feelings about the rumor that […]
Trigger warning: This post discusses and uses cut scenes of (attempted or threatened) rape and violence toward women. It also has some minor plot spoilers for Contrast and Dead Rising 3, but these spoilers take place in the beginnings of both games. I have been a console early adopter for […]
I’m not going to beat around the bush: I’m pretty disillusioned and frustrated with the portrayal of the Thanksgiving holiday, something that I believe many of my co-bloggers would also attest to. It’s not that I hate the message of the holiday; encouraging loved ones to spend time together and […]
As an avid gamer who is strapped for time, I find that the holidays are turning into my “binge gaming” sessions because of the time off from work. Unfortunately for me, Thanksgiving is held at my parents’ house every year and therefore instead of binge gaming I have had to […]
For Telltale Games fans, this past week hasn’t been about waiting for The Walking Dead (okay, yes it has; it always is), but about the rumor that the company is in development on a game set in George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire universe, a possible […]
So it seems my computer will not automatically put the ´ above the e in Pokémon. It does, however, recognize that Pokemon is not a word, while Pokémon is a word. Pokémon is truly an international craze, but one that for some reason I just totally missed. I would like […]
