    What games do women play?

    The last three PC games I played were: World of Warcraft, Witcher 2, and Portal 2. I like WoW because of the sense of history and community I have with the game. I started playing Orcs and Humans in 1995 while my husband was deployed to Bosnia, so Azaroth has been a part of my life for a...

    Poll: E-Book vs Paperback

    I prefer ebooks for my books, comics and magazines because I don't have to worry about all the physical paper that used to fill up my house, and it's much easier to search my library now than it was when I had all the books. I had a room filled with bookcases with books stacked two and three...

    Poll: If someone walked into your room, could they tell that you are a gamer?

    At work they can walk up to my desk and tell I am a gamer, does that count? I have two picture frames on my desk, one is a picture of my husband and I in costume which was taken at Comic Con two years ago, the other is a smaller frame with a screenshot of my main WoW toon. I also have a...

    The Felicia Day/Destructoid situation

    I'm over the age of 18, worked more than a day in my life and have had to deal with unemployment, so I would like to share my opinion with you. My opinion is: In this age where employers are asking job seekers to sign into their private FaceBook accounts so they can snoop ( see this link...

    Poll: have you moved on from Diablo 3

    Once I learned I could press and hold the left mouse button to attack and press the right button, while still holding down the left, for the special attack, AND, pressing the side mouse button to run, it became boring, so boring, I went from L18 - L24 while I was reading a magazine and pressing...

    Poll: So does anyone still care about Dragon Age?

    The dwarves have always been the best part of Dragon Age. I'm never buying or playing another Dragon Age game, I'll just keep replaying Origins.

    Poll: Future of World of Warcraft

    I play a goat and love it, I agree they got the shaft lore-wise, but BC was my favorite expansion, hated WoLK and thought Cata was OK. I'm not looking forward to some of the changes in MoP, but WoW is still a fun time-sink.

    Damned Cats

    The best home remedy for any urine smell is to use baking soda. For carpets, make sure the carpet is dry and then sprinkle baking soda (the kind you cook with) over the area and leave it for several hours, then vacuum. Be warned that this may discolor some carpets, so if you are worried about...

    Scariest Moment in Gaming?

    Dragon Age: Origins, Hespith's Poem. It was about 3:00 a.m., I had been playing since early afternoon so the room was dark and that creepy whisper as I was fighting in the ruins. I had to get up and turn on all the lights because it creeped me out so much.

    Is there such a thing as "growing out" of gaming?

    This. Gaming is something I do to waste time and relieve stress and boredom. I also read and knit and garden, but now that I'm pushing middle age I still play video games. I have moved away from consoles though and do most of my gaming on my PC and Kindle Fire. (Now that the Witcher 2 is...

    Poll: Ever been in Love?

    I fell in love when I was 19 and he was 20. We got married a year later and I still love him after 20+ years of marriage. My husband says he knew I was the one because I didn't automatically annoy him when we met and I still didn't annoy him after he knew me for a while. After all these...

    Was Dragon Age II really that bad?

    Rock, Paper, Shotgun has one of the best articles on why Dragon Age 2 failed. (Thoughts: What Went Wrong With Dragon Age II). If you really want a well thought out argument of why there is a lot of nerd rage towards Bioware John Walker's article about why he found the game unsatisfying even...

    Do you enjoy your job?

    I love being a Computer Tech, however I hated my actual place of employment and when they told me I would no longer be doing tech work I quit. I start a new job on Monday in a new city and I have high hopes of enjoying it since I am back to being a technician.

    Your Accomplishments Belittled

    I was playing DA:O on nightmare as a warrior and the only companion I took was the dog and it took me forever to finally beat the Broodmother. I wanted to show my husband how hard it was and found the fight on youtube and of course the person was on easy with a healer and a tank and beat her in...
