    Do you date outside of your race?

    Sure, I suppose. I had a "thing"(in lack of a better word, complicated story..) with a guy who's half Egyptian half Latino. But my current relationship is with an other white person. I find all sorts of people attractive and have not found it to be restricted to or even favored by any one...

    Is this a kind of racism?

    I think, and this is just a theory, that the reason every new word in time becomes racist is that people have a tendency of calling and describing people by "race" if their skin is of any other colour than white, the usual "white is not a race" sort of issue. then comes the question do you...

    Why I think "Gamer Girls" shouldn't hide.

    I have forbidden my friends from telling my gender in any games we play, and I never use voice chat, because as far as my experience goes there are absolutely no benefits to actually "outing" my gender, and this is for several reasons: 1) abuse and harassment, mean comments and marriage...

    Changing my name (Yes I'm serious)

    Do as you wish, whatever name you feel comfortable with is a good name. one of the most loyal customers to the store I work in changed his name to "Spiderman". It's awesome when you have to call him and remind him that a game he has pre-ordered has arrived and ask "Have I reached Spiderman?"...

    Poorly Reviewed Games You Enjoyed

    I don't know what exactly counts as a "bad" review, but I'm gonna go with Enclave, especially the "evil" campaign, it was shorter than the "good" campaign but it was so much fun! and the delightful shock when I realized while the rest of the game was in English the goblins language was Swedish...

    Sweden Moves Towards Gender Neutrality [Support Thread]

    Another swede here, and I'm very positive of the word, I know a lot of people that think it is forced, a few that out right hates it but also a lot of people that just thinks it is a nice addition to our language because whether you like it or not it covers a missing spot in our language and I...

    Poll: Dragon Age: Templar-Mage War.

    I think the games does a bad job of showing the templar's side (or the chantry's side to be more exact),while if you read the book Asunder you understand the politics behind it all much better. thing is that templars are getting more and more oppressiv and mages are pushing their oppressors...

    On Gaymers and Cons

    I understand the need, in fact I've been tempted by going to Girl gamer events, but then there is always this little thought nagging at me in my head. this is my point of view, not saying that these conventions are, bad, they fill a crucial need. I'm a regular goer to gaming conventions...

    Horror game from the perspective of a 2 year old.

    Bizarre/Weird Things that have recently happened to you

    my 8 months old cat died the other day from a disease she had gotten vaccine for when she was 2 months (you get the vaccine once a year), and no one can explain to me why. it's especially weird since I had gone with her to the vet 3 times before she died telling them she is sick and they...

    Poll: Start a family! Who wants children?

    I had this discussion with my boyfriend the last night, since we´ve been together for 6½ years now and the "appropriate time" for getting kids is getting near. he is a definite kids person and his biggest dream is having a family, career comes secondary to him, so he wants one with in about 2...

    Jimquisition: Fake Nerd Girls

    ugh, this... in my experience, girls being called fake gamers are usually either just falsely accused before even spoken to or just a different kind of gamer than the one accusing her. and even if she is fake, we kind of dug this grave for ourselves, the whole culture clinging to the idea of...

    All Nighter Tips

    I once accidentally stayed up for 48 hours straight while playing morrowind, then I stayed up another 24 hours just for the hell of it, then I crashed and screwed up my sleep for an entire month. I recall not seeing sunlight for over 3 weeks. ah, good old days... anw, in my experience, a good...
