Geek Girls Rule! A girl talks about gaming, sex, comics and other nerdy stuff. I cover Indie games, why comics make Feminists' heads explode, what real boobs look like, SF/F books, and all things geeky.

Article on Resident Evil 5.  I misspoke, it was not Racialicious, which is itself a damn fine blog, but Ta-Nehisi Coates writing for the Atlantic.  Although Racialicious does quote a review from Eurogamer on their site. 

The most recent Shakesville article on Rapelay (I mispronounced it in the podcast).

Ok, so this is part one of the Girl Gaming Podcasters Podcast hosted on Geek Girls Rule!  Kristin from "This Modern Death," Meg from "The Brilliant Gameologists" and Jenn from "The Trap Cast" joined me via Skype for over two hours of giggling chaos. 

In this half of the podcast, we discuss how we got into gaming, bad gamer girl stereotypes, the health of my hedgehog Wash and other critters, and what we're currently playing, as well as pimping our separate podcasts.

This podcast discusses some realizations I've made about my GM-ing style and the fact that I need to get a touch more ruthless at times.  It is also interrupted several times by hedgehog cuteness.  But that just happens.

In this podcast I and my friend Marcy talk about sex and gaming:  how to use it as a plot hook, in character interactions, whether or not rape is such a good plot device or justification for the motivations of a female character, flirting in and out of character, and the dreaded "have you ever had sex in character" question. 

And, of course, there is a lot of giggling and silliness. 

In the podcast we reference the following:
Geek Girls Rule #2 - Bad Male Gamer Archetypes
In fairness:  Geek Girls Rule #3 - Bad Female Gamer Archetypes
Geek Girls Rule #19 - Playing the Opposite Gender
Girls Read Comics at Girl-Wonder.org

I hope you enjoy it!

Geek Girls Rule! Podcast 5, in which I drink too much vodka, enthuse about Go Play NW, talk about LGBT fandom, HorrorFest, answer a question from a listener of podcast 3, and gush about how freaking awesome Glen Cook is.

Go Play NW:  http://goplaynw.wetpaint.com/?t=anon
HorrorFest:  http://www.horrorfestonline.com/
Glen Cook:  http://www.glencook.org/index.php/Main_Page

Hope I'm not too drinky in this.  And believe me, I edited out a lot of "um"s.  Just like tequila eats math, vodka propagates "um"s.

First, I apologize for the rampant chaos that is this podcast, and the one really lousy edit.  In this podcast, I interview several members of the Kids' gaming group run by my friend Jeremy.  Four of the girls and one of the boys were there, and I largely just asked questions and then let them run themselves out.
