Rock on robots

Rock on robots photo

Thanks to the kindness of Destructoid, I have joined a team. Me! Part of the gang! Wow! Time to get my robot rock on. Hence the pic. That's me in my backyard. Rocking on.

So, just a few tidbits for you Dtoids -- I'm a female gameblogger working in L.A., using my secret powers to their utmost to make a real job out of professional dorkery. I started blogging in 2000, about nothing in particular. In 2006, I decided it was time to make a special place to blog about games and save my non-geek readers the misery of slogging through yet another post about the delights of playing Final Fantasy 7 through for the 13th time, and Blow in the Game Slot was born. That's where I've been ever since, freelancing occasionally for other Web sites and ranting to my heart's content.

Let the posting begin!

Don't slack off like the last guys who joined. We need a woman's touch -- Nex just won't cut it anymore.

Grim, I'm going to take that as a personal affront to my honor.

Oh, and welcome aboard, Nagiko.

Haha it doesn't really matter to me how much you write. Plus, I wasn't talking about you Orcist. I understand that people are busy and have other things to do, so please don't take any offense to what I said.

Nex: you're my hero of the week.

I'm not alone any more! Yes! Welcome Nagiko. Glad to have another female around to kick my butts around here.

Love your blog, Blowing in the game slot. Read it before. Clever name. Note: Neiro and Fronz rule. Summa's the eye candy and Nex can't help himself, so just ignore him. The rest you'll just love.
