My Countdown Countdown

I happened to see the new PSA for Think Before You Speak. on TV the other night. I’ve always found it irritating when little boys refer to something as Gay when they lack the intelligence to use a better word. This is far too common in the gamer world and is also now annoying when [...]

Geek Woman : One of the things many female players enjoyed in Guild Wars was the costuming (Armor Sets) will we have lots to look forward to in GW2? Kristen Perry: Absolutely! One of the hallmarks of character customization in Guild Wars has always been mixing and matching armors and GW2 is no exception. The [...]

Yakuza 3 PS3 Review

Category: Exclusive, Game Reviews, PS3 | Comments Off

Make your own animation There have been quite a few games I have played in the past that were both annoying and wonderful at the same time. Yakuza 3 has equal measures of both frustration and fun. For the arm chair otaku for whom all things Japanese are all good then this is a game [...]

I never had much of a use for Twitter, and now I’m boycotting it. After the announcement yesterday that the Library of Congress is going to acquire All Tweets since 2006 that have gone out on Twitter I shut off the feed from my website. I’m going to delete Tweet Deck and Twitterific off my [...]

2010 hasn’t  been a year paved with fun and games at our house so far.

    Profile

    I'm your target market, your worst nightmare, a woman with a video game. I'm a late boomer, a first person feminist, I'm the MIlF that hates on Microsoft, and the cold calculating Cougar who enjoys a good snipe. I'm the geek woman upon whose apron strings little boys dreams are made of. Move me technology, make me and my readers want to open up our purse and whip out our wallets.


    I'm Geek Woman, a freelance video games journalist and author. Please buy my book First Person Feminist, by clicking the Book Tab above. I write honest game reviews and editorials. I interview women in the games industry, female gamer clans, and gamers. I provide articles about women in video games, as well as technology and gadgets.
