So, sometimes things are timely and amusing with regards to my gamer posting…and provide me with subject matter for such posts…gotta love that shit… In any event, as of recently, the LARP game I am involved in found itself in need of a entirely new ST (storyteller) Staff. The players staged a coup on the [...]

Sexism in Gaming, Part V: Some of y’all women? Not Helping!
Posted: February 24, 2012 in Gaming, Sexism, womenSo, continuing on with Sexism in Gaming, were I have admittedly been rather harsh to male gamers of a certain ilk. Now, I turn my focus to a contributing factor to sexism in gaming that isn’t something that falls directly on the fellas, but rather upon female gamers of a certain sort. These gals might [...]
Shocking, I know. I’ve just not had much to say. Life has been interesting and strange and, eh, inevitable and life-ish as it were. Been pondering continuing on with my sexism in gaming series, just gotta set fingers to keyboard and all that- and yep, I plan to actually pick on the girl gamerz too [...]
Sorta Sexism, with Some Game, but not so much Sexism in Gaming….
Posted: June 8, 2011 in Blogging, Gaming, Men, Sexism, women, WTF???What? So sue me… So, today, I wrote a post over in my LJ in which I wondered about an eerie fascination some women folk have with a character I play who is a seriously nasty piece of work and is not the type of person- fictional or real- that women should find….er…sexy. Ever. Yet, [...]
In the realm of gaming, there seems to be a subsection- and yes it is a subsection- of gamers who honestly within their gaming have some very strange ideas about fantasy vs. reality, and while in truth I have seen this attitude out of men more than women in gaming- it is by no means restricted to men. [...]
Ah yes, “Fantasy vs. Reality” was supposed to be next, but when a golden opportunity knocks me in the face, I cannot pass it by… As you all know, I play (avidly) City of Heroes/Villains. So, last night I get together with the crew, who have no idea what they actually want to do, so [...]
I remember once upon a time I was sitting in a college dorm room with the rest of the crew that constituted my D&D group (2 women, myself and my roomie, 4 men) and one of the fellows was thumbing through a Dragon Magazine and started laughing hysterically. Of course, we all inquired about the [...]
Sexism in Gaming Part II: Sometimes the Stereotype Fits all too Well….
Posted: May 31, 2011 in Gaming, SexismBefore we get any further into our Quest to Discuss Sexism in Gaming (N00Bs welcome), there are two basic fundamentals that must be looked and evaluated before we continue on: One is the sexist attitude and sexist products put out by the gaming industry itself, and the other is nature of gamers themselves. I will [...]
Once upon a time there existed a mythical wondrous and dangerous land, a place filled with brave, handsome heroes and deadly, blood thirsty villains; noble knights, fearless fighters, dashing rogues, devout clerics and wizened wizards, a place where good fought evil, and evil fought good, and the lines between the two were as simple as [...]
(okay, so I totally just had a Mortal Kombat moment…forgive me!) Tonite is Full Metal Fest with Vlad, then come Tuesday, I have a consult and then-with any luck- a same day shot in my spine. It may take more than one to work, may only take one- I am sooo hoping for one! But [...]
