Opinions, Not For The Easily Offended *Updated

I swear it seems like the interwebz has been in an uproar a bit too often as of late. I think it must be the lack of new games coming out right now (FIX IT YOU GAME DEVS). Anyway, todays drama is about an article posted on CNN by Joe Peacock called Booth Babes Need Not Apply. His post is basically about fake geek girls who attend conventions for attention and how it is hurting the community as a whole. I personally really liked his article and except for one or two sentences, found it to match my feelings perfectly. I highly recommend reading it so that you’ll understand the rest of this post. Now I will try to be as elaborate as possible about my feelings toward this topic, cause I’ve seen what it can do to you if you aren’t.

When I saw Joe’s article come up in my Twitter feed, I decided to give it look-see, and I was pleasantly surprised when I did. His post reminded me of the one I posted a few months back about fake gamer girls. Sure mine was about gamer girls and his is about geeky girls, but the basic idea is the same, we hate fakers. Well it seems a bunch of people got super offended by his post,

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

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.
