Smoking, drinking, and eBaying: a terrible combination, inevitably leading to utter moral decay and godlessness. Ahem. Don’t blame me, my dad’s a preacher. But these three do lead, if not entirely inevitably, to being shit broke. And, forgive me, I’m going to use Neopets to illustrate why.

Here’s a funny thing about the internet: nothing ever goes away.
It strikes me as I sit here googling the closest thing I have to a love interest. The haul so far is some rather adorable teenage poetry which isn’t even bad, a blog from six years ago and a livejournal I refuse to read out of an odd respect for privacy. At least until my curiosity takes over.

We’ve tried awesome game moment (please do still submit yours, I always need ideas for great games to play). Now let’s do scary ones.
I will admit to not playing a lot of ‘horror’ games. My sanity and, ultimately, my sleeping pattern are quite dear to me and I’m a bit of a wuss when faced with anything horror film related. To give you an idea: the first few episodes of Supernatural made me rest uneasily. That’s how much of a coward I am.

Why yes, it is a mini travel journal. Only broken down in handy bullets. Cause this is the internet. And the internet loves lists. (more…)

The year is 2277. In front of me is a robot that thinks he’s one of the founding fathers of the United States. I’m trying to convince him that I’m Thomas Jefferson, so that he’ll give me what’s left of the Declaration of Independence. My character is a young woman. It works.
People who play a lot of games know that it’s more than a simple way of whiling the time while being slightly amused. It can be, but in that case you’re just playing the wrong games.

Seeing how it worked with Jade Empire, let’s try and get some decent following for this one.
My newest obsession is with Supernatural, a sci-fi/horror series that doesn’t get nearly the cult following or hype it deserves.
Why this is, I don’t know, since it managed to hook me, a notoriously non-TV minded person, to watch three episodes in a row on DVD. People who have ever watched anything with me should probably pick themselves up from the floor now: yes, it seems I am capable of an attention span that lasts longer than twenty minutes, just not for Battlestar Galactica or Firefly (*ducks*).
So, let’s break this down.

For those not in the know, the Geeky Women Crowd originally started off in a Sims 2 website-based chat. Some have stopped playing the Sims, while others have carried on. I am one of the latter.
For those who have been living under a rock, the Sims is a popular franchise that involves playing with little pixel dollies, designing them, their clothes, deciding what they do, and generally torturing them and making their lives a misery…At least that’s how I usually play it. (more…)

Every now and then you find a small treasure in the discount bin.
This is good, considering I live in a country where new games can cost up to 60 euros, which is, well, too much for a friggin’ computer game. (more…)

In the first part of this list of tips, I gave some of the major do’s and don’ts for meeting geeky women and making them like you. This time, let’s go a bit further into the relationship.
Again, compiled from the experience of some pretty awesome women (thank you, Echo, Loaf, Cthru, White, Photo and HP!)

Geeky women are awesome. No really, we are.
For a certain type of guy, we are the ideal girlfriend. You can have the mac vs pc conversation with us, we install our own software, we won’t look at you funny if you mention you’ve just cleared out Vault 63 or saved Tamriel, we might even laugh at that lolcat you made. Plus, about all geeky women I know have big boobs.
But don’t get too excited. Geeky women require proper care. We might be geeks, but we’re still women. So here’s some tips on how to appeal to geeky women, and keep your geeky girlfriend happy. From personal experience, and experience of fellow geeky women (thank you, Echo, Loaf, Cthru, White, Photo and HP!).
