About Me


I'm a woman who loves her video games. I'm also pretty much a nerd for all that is nerdy: MST3K/Riff Trax, Star Wars, Anime/Manga, Kevin Smith, X-men Comics, and of course all things video games. Someday, I would look to get paid to write for and/or about video games. I'm awesome, so it'll will probably happen.

I have a strong hatred for the Atlantic Ocean.



Yoshi BBFs forever: Me, Suff0cat, Wardrox, and ScottyG.

Preferred games are RPGs and puzzle games. I like the occasional FPS (Timesplitters: FuturePerfect being my favorite) and some racing (Burnout Reveeeeenge).

Current Games:
Burnout Paradise
Left 4 Dead
Space Invaders Extreme
Harvest Moon Island of Happiness
Chrono Trigger DS



My Project 365
That link is to some of my photography/photoshop art done for Project 365. If you don't know what Project 365 is, GOOGLE IT DUH.

Notable C-Blogs:
The Start of the Affair: Harvest Moon

I also write a bit for Negative Gamer.

Happy New Year! Wait...

Ah hearkening back to the original April Fools, those who continued to celebrated April 1st as the new year after the calendar change. Or something like that.

I'm not a staunch believer in celebrating April Fool's day, since one particular incident in high school. A friend of mine, let's call him "Asshat" decided to play a little prank. A group of us were waiting at "bob's" house for Asshat to show up. He called saying his car had been stolen and he was stranded on the shoulder of Rt 80. Freaked out, Bob and Asshat's girlfriend drove all over 80, visited the police, and tried to call Asshat numerous times, but to no avail. We had no clue where he was. Of course, he showed up at Bob's house an hour later yelling, "April Fools!" Needless to say, Asshat's girlfriend and Bob beat the living shit out of him. And in retaliation a few days later we toilet papered the inside of his car (his fault for leaving it unlocked).

So, while I can appreciate the jokes, it's not really my style. Plus, I'm super lazy.

Anyway, I found something that I want. Pixel jewelry. I'm pretty sure it's meant as an art piece and you can't buy it, but whatever.



I would feel like an old school Princess. :)

Here's the artist site: http://www.velvetdavinci.com/allimages.php?action=artist&id=155

Apparently they take photos of famous jewelry and super pixelate, then somehow reproduce them in leather? Crazy man.

Ehhh time to spend April Fool's Day with mint ice cream and either Viva Pinata or the Orange Box...because, April Fools to my teachers, I accidentally slept through all of my classes.

I love you, but not that pixel jewelry.

'Asshat' deserved that ass beating.

The necklace looks cool - but I would think the edges would make it uncomfortable over time.

possibly. I guess that's why it's art and not real jewelry. *sigh* The 8-Bit Tie is still the only pixelated neckwear option...and ironically enough, that was ThinkGeek's April Fool's joke last year.

After thinking about it a bit more...
Actually, quite a few women I know constantly mention how uncomfortable high heels are and that's normal clothing.

I retract my earlier statement. I think they could make a killing with pixel accessories.

Pixel accessories hurt thine' eyes.

Orange box on the other hand, makes me happy.
