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.

Nerd Alert Buys: It's Merely A Flesh Wound
nintendoll | 6:50 PM on 05.15.2008 24 comments


Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail is probably the most famous Monty Python movie ever. We all have our favorite moments in the movie; whether it be the Holy Hand Grenade, The Knights Who Say Ni, or the killer rabbit. One of my personal favorites is the Black Knight, the man who never gives up! Haven't you always wanted to have all of you limbs brutally severed from your body by sword?



Now you can buy the perfect starter piece to reenacting this scene at home: Your very own Black Knight Helmet. But wait, you say, a gigantic cylindrical piece of metal on my head would not be comfortable at all! In fact I daresay your friends might spend hours simply smacking the helmet gleefully with spoons or bricks, watching your head rattle around helplessly inside. Fear not, for this helmet is not made of metal, but is rather like a stuffed animal to wrap around your head.

With this helmet you shall never be defeated! Even if you are reduced to a mere torso, it will count as a win when your enemy runs away in fear of your resilience and determination!

[Buy Yours Here!

Nerd Rating: 8 of 10

This product is awesome because it is well priced at about $24, looks well made and has the potential for cosplay. If you can find a way to make both your arms and legs somewhat detachable, this will make cosplay more realistic/entertaining.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I will never tire of that movie. I know a lot of people hate Holy Grail just for being overquoted and all that, but I don't care. I friggin' love Monty Python and pretty much nothing would change that. Well, if I found out they were all mass murders it MIGHT change.
Maybe.
But that hat/mask/whatever is awesome in so many ways. Just carry it around with you and, whenever you feel like it, put it on, stake out a doorway and..."NONE SHALL PASS!!"

Um.. not really neat in terms of "nerdiness", but it sure is great for S&M play!

Although, my fault for not expecting it.

GIVE ME.

Wait. That looks a little too... bondagey, for my tastes. I mean, I like it rough and I like it nerdy, but... uhhh...

I have seen Spamalot. My ex boyfriend's dad was the prop master for a bit, so I got good tickets.

have to say it does look very 80's tv stereotype gay to me. Still if you got the rest of the outfit it might work or failing that you could just start singing Y.M.C.A

I believe the gist was, "I like this. But this looks like a piece of S&M gear. I don't like S&M gear. Oh noes, I'm torn!"

ya the helmet looks cool, but walking around with it might be painful for the neck. The top of it might get caught on doors.the shield would be cool things to have.

I always preferred the Life of Brain myself but after seeing Spamalot last night I think we can call it a draw :-D
