I’m a huge pinterest addict and one of the things I love to browse through is the outfits that people create. My only problem with that, is they never seem to be my style. So last week I finally discovered the site that they use to create those amazing and cute getups. It’s called Polyvore. Some of you may already know of it and use it, but I’m behind on things from time to time. Especially if it’s fashion related. I’ve decided I want to make some outfits that I would actually wear, and I’m following the lead of Console 2 Closet and design some outfits based off of video games.
Shoes For The Gamer In You
Nine years ago, I met one of the most talented artists I know, and I’ve been lucky enough to call him my best friend. I’ve always been so jealous of how good he is at drawing anything he wants. I remember in high school he sketched a perfect likeness of Gandhi. Recently he’s been doing some canvas shoes, and they came out beautifully. I hope to get a pair from him pretty soon myself, maybe even try some custom heels to appease my girly side. Here are some pictures of his latest shoes inspired by Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask and Portal 2. You can get those, or custom made ones with anything you want on them, here.
Retro Lancer Now In 3 New Flavors! I Mean… Colors.
If you’re like me, you may be a huge Gears of War fan. You may have also seen the Retro Lancer props that came out when Gears 3 released in November last year, and like me, drooled and squealed at the opportunity to get one from GameStop. I splurged on all the Gears 3 things available from GameStop, including the original gunmetal retro lancer. When the gold one came out, I wanted it as well, but I didn’t have enough Powerup Points to get it from GameStop and not enough moola to get it from eBay, I am still very envious of those who have the gold one.
Well GameStop has now given you more reasons to be drooling, envious, and of course, to shell out a few hundred bucks. They’ve come up with three new Retro Lancer colors based off of the most popular skins used in Gears 3.
and Electric Green.
If you want any of these beauties, it’ll cost ya $99.99. They’re available for preorder now and will be here June 1, 2012. So if you missed out last time and would like one of these Limited Edition Retro Lancers, you should break into that piggy bank and get over to GameStop and pre-order yours. I’m not usually very big on pink, but I am seriously liking that Deadly Cute. Though Team Metal is a close second.
Life Is Good and Always Getting Better
Hello there, friends! More exciting things happening in the world of Sam. Remember when I mentioned that I was a community manager for Talking About Games? Well, it’s gotten even better. I was asked to be a host on the Talking About Gamers podcast! Sure these things may sound silly to some, and it may be even sillier for me to be so excited about them, but I am absolutely thrilled. I really do love video games and the whole gaming community, and these things just let me embrace that and be more involved with it all. Sure I have been a little apprehensive with it all, I don’t want to intrude on anything. But I think I am going to try to be a bit more outgoing with it. If I cross any lines, I’m sure they’ll tell me. Who knows, maybe the podcast will help with Likes and Followers for TAG. Our first recording will be this Sunday. I am excited and nervous. I hope I do a good job. I better start playing a few new games so I can be up to speed on it all. Continue reading
Hello Again, It’s Been Too Long
Hey there, so we are going on like, what, a month of no new posts? Sorry about that folks. I’ve been meaning to post something and then things just get in the way or I am too tired to do so. There have been a lot of changes going on lately and I’m still adjusting to it all. I guess I could just go ahead and get you up to speed on things. Ready for a mini novel?
Here Fishy, Fishy, Fishy
Seems like the only time I have time to write is when every one is asleep, but by then I’m so tired I just want to crash out as well. I guess that’s the life of a working mother. That’s ok, Ally is totally worth it. While this isn’t the post I wanted it to be, it is something. That has to count right? I’m still working in a couple that I’ve been wanting to post for a week now, hopefully I’ll find some time in the next couple days to finish them up and deliver them straight to you with a big red bow.
Quick update time! Continue reading
Sexist Jerk? Or Common Douchebag?
Man this last week has been super busy and I am just exhausted, and maybe fiending a little for some game time. Things at work have picked up and I have more responsibility, family has been visiting, and we have gone to visit family, Ally is growing up and trying to crawl and walk, and of course I have to make time for my hubby. With all that going on, it’s hard to get time to play games or blog, but I guess I’m learning about time management. Too bad I need to sleep, that’s the best time of day, well night actually, for gaming, cleaning and blogging. It seems I need to become a vampire. Yea, that was a Twilight reference. Wait! Don’t unsubscribe! I’m a Potter fan first! Haha. Anyways, when I do find time to game, I like to enjoy it and primarily play with my friends, that way I know I am getting into a good and fun match. Too bad last night didn’t turn out that way.
Another Birthday Has Come and Gone
It’s been a few days since my last post. I sort of got addicted to Gears 3 all over again, and have been spending most of my free time playing horde or team death match. So much fun. Yes, that means I’ve slacked on my workouts. Oops lol. The first two days I wasn’t feeling very well, and not because I was sore, but I genuinely wasn’t feeling good. So I played Gears. Yea, that didn’t end well for my workout. I need to get back at it, and I’m planning on it this week.
In other news, Sunday was my birthday, so say hello to this 23 year old. I feel so mature and wise. Ha! Just kidding. 23 feels a lot like 22, which felt like 21, which… Ok, ok. I could do that all day. It was a good birthday. My dad, and some of my other family, took me to Olive Garden to celebrate. Olive Garden is my absolute favorite place. Did I mention that I have the best hubby in the world? Cause I do. Seriously. My gifts from him, rocked! 3Ds hard cover (Zelda!), a Mario case for my 3Ds and games, a Mario calendar for work, Super Mario 3D Land, and a little notebook. I do love notebooks and journals, so very much. I was so excited about all of this stuff. Mykal thought it’d be funny to put everything in a bag within a bag. So by the time it was all unwrapped, I had a bag for each gift. It was pretty funny though. I’d love to tell you how Super Mario is, but I haven’t gotten to play it. I’ve been Gearsing it up with some buddies, and so mykal has been playing Super Mario. He said its good. Now I need to pry that game away from him. Haha.
Ok, it’s late and I need to head off to bed. When I get back, I demand cake from everyone haha.
New Blog Title?
So, I’ve seen a few other blogs here and there, and I’ve been thinking… Maybe my blog name is too long. I mean “Achievement Unlocked: Mommyhood” doesn’t really roll off the tongue. And Mommyhoodunlocked.com is also a bit long. Maybe I should shorten it. “Momma Pwncess” seems like it might be a good idea… What say you? Would that be a better blog name and/or web address? Any suggests will also be taken into account. Thanks! ❤
The Cup Half Full
Good morning everyone!
I am in a particularly good mood today. Not really sure why, but I feel like I have a special appreciation for life today. Maybe it was because my father in law came to stay with us for the past couple days. Maybe it is because Ally woke up with such a smile on her face that it always melts away my problems. Or maybe it was simply the good bye kiss Mykal and I exchanged this morning before heading off to work. Any way you look at it, it’s a good day to be alive. Heck, it’s a good day to be me!
I know I said that my next post was going to be about gamer girls, but I am still working on perfecting that one. I can be a bit of a perfectionist sometimes, which is funny because I am also a procrastinator. A procrastinating perfectionist… sounds like an oxymoron to me. That’s ok, I’m pretty sure I’m a walking contradiction sometimes. *In my best little girl voice*: It’s what makes me special!
