About Me
Links to all things Me:

My Personal Blog
Because I occasionally think about things other than games (I know-- for shame!)
Currently doing a 20-year history of Nine Inch Nails, because apparently I don't have enough projects that are HUGE TIME-SUCKING MONSTERS. Anyway, I try to keep anything that's videogames-related on Gaming Goddess, but there's a little bit of inevitable crossover.

My graphic novel, Sterling
There is some videogame-related stuff in Sterling, particularly Final Fantasy, but that's not really the focus. Meant for adults, so don't say I didn't warn you:).

My Twitter I'm very conscious of twitter-spamming, so I try to tweet only when I update one of my blogs or comics. Some people can get away with constantly tweeting charming little witticisms and it's neat, but I think if you have any interest in my twitter at all, it should be useful, never a nuisance.

About the name Gaming Goddess: No, I do not have delusions of grandeur! At least, not about games!
The origin of GG is this: My boyfriend's Mom is REALLY good at Space Invaders and games like that, leading me to dub her the "8-bit Goddess". We decided that 8-bit Goddess would be a really good name for the gaming blog that I wanted to start, except it would be false advertising since I personally suck at 8-bit games. So I changed it to the more general Gaming Goddess-- so I'm good at some type of games, I just don't have to specify which ones:).

Of course, if my boyfriend's awesome mom wants to start a blog, she can be the 8-bit Goddess, and I will bow to her in humble submission.

Favorite Games:
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy Tactics
FFTA
Azure Dreams
Ehrgeiz
Vagrant Story
Parasite Eve
Tomb Raider
Tomb Raider II
Resident Evil 2

.hack (the first batch)

Currently Playing:
I have decided to change this section to only what is in my consoles AT THE MOMENT as opposed to every game I'm technically in the middle of. Accuracy FTW.

DSi: Final Fantasy IV (It's amazing! Why did I wait so long?)
DS: ARMY OF MOOGLES, I mean, Final Fantasy VI
PS2: Odin Sphere
PSOne: Azure Dreams, Parasite Eve, Tomb Raider

Latest Fan Art:

Yeah, something new! Rydia's cool, people complain about the graphics in the new DS version of FFIV but I love the way the characters look...well, except for Rosa. The girl could use pants.

About Me:
I'm a starving artist/freelance writer/comic book artist/insert other vocation that makes very little money. If you're on Destructoid, chances are I am older than you. That kind of pisses me off.

Anyway, I'm working on some projects that I think might be of interest to some Dtoid readers, but I think I'll keep most of that stuff in my profile section, so the Cblogs won't be taken up with self-promotional posts from me. I'll add the info to my profile when I start my new comic and things like that.

GoddessCast#5: We Heart PSX
GamingGoddess | 5:32 PM on 10.28.2009 8 comments




On GC #5, we talk about the original Playstation in all of its pixelated glory. Wilson is fairly quiet during this episode while Micronesia and I take a happy stroll down memory lane. Games mentioned include: FFVI, Travian, Fate/Stay Night, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Tenchu (series), Tomb Raider, Ehrgeiz, Parasite Eve, Jet Moto, Xenogears, Vagrant Story, Ghost in the Shell– alright I can’t remember anymore. There are a lot, okay?

Errata: I say "Move to 3D" at one point when discussing the Tenchu series; it should have been "move to the PS2." Also, everything Micro says about me sucking at games can be considered errata, and should be stricken from the record.

I just wanted to note that I haven't replaced all of the sundry, bloggy-type-things I do with GoddessCast, it's just kind of worked out that way for the last few weeks.

It's not 'PSX'. It's not the 10th Playstation. PS1 or Playstation 1 will do fine thanks. Gawd.

For whatever reason, the term PSX was used a lot around the time it came out. At least in the US.

It was commonly known as the PSX in the US. The PSX in Japan was a PS2/TiVo combo type thing.

Just finished listening to the podcast, and I have to say I've only played about 30% of your PS1 game library. *grew up with an N64* I have played Vagrant Story, though, and just couldn't get into it.

The only reason I was quite is that I have a semi large library of Tactical RPGs, but neither of you two have played even half of them, so I let you guys talk about games I've never played ;)

psx stands for playstation xperimental, not playstation 10. It was referred to as often during development iirc >< Gawd.

@armless: YOU DIDN'T LIKE VAGRANT STORY????!!! Well...okay :). I SUPPOSE I still like you.

@Rangoric: I know, dear:).

@Dao2-SKP: I didn't know what the X stood for until now, I always kinda assumed that they just thought it sounded cool. Thanks.
