Put Your Finger in Your Ear and Scratch…
A Mom Who Just So Happens to Be a Gamer

It’s going to be a crying shame when my son is an adult. I love Pac-Man but as time progresses, Pac-Man and games alike are becoming a thing of the past. Eventually, not even a remake (Pac-Man Championship Edition) will be enough for anyone to play them. One day I’m going to pull out an emulator and play Pac-man and I’m sure Adam and his little friends are going to look at me like I just stepped out of a National Geographic for gamers (I wish) circa 1952 and I won’t give a damn. I don’t know about anyone else but I refuse to let the good games die; they are a dime-a-dozen these days. I wish I still had my Sega Genesis and NES consoles. I was trying to hold on to those forever; to pass them down to my son. Nah, I wouldn’t have passed them down to my son, he wouldn’t have want them. I’ve always been a gamer and forever will be until arthritis cripples my fingers to the point I’m inadvertently holding up gang signs. Even then, I won

The Perks Of Not Being A Girly Girl
Eat, Watch, Drink, Play, Sleep and Repeat

For those who don’t know, I’m 22 years old (you know I have to count from the year I was born because I kept lying about my age that I forgot myself. Anyway…). I have an older brother who’s just a year older than me and we’re pretty tight. Since we’re only two, it was pretty default that we do the same things and like the same stuff. When I was a kid I loved playing sports or any physical activity, video games (no, not Harvest Moon), watching cable and having role-playing adventures with our neighbors down the street. Don’t get me wrong, I also liked Barbie… but just as much as I liked Gundam and Pokemon – and the very cool cartoon Swat Kats. My mom always thought that it was a phase I would eventually grow out of and I have to admit that we did share the idea. High school came and I still thought Badminton was “not a real sport”, my favorite subject was PE and not Art (not even recess), that skirts were only worn becaus

A World Without Heroes
The Musings of Lady Gwendolynn
It’s the Little Things…
Ma vie est musique <3

Current Music: S’aimer est interdit – Emmanuel Moire and Anne-Laure Girbal (From “Le Roi Soleil”) While in Italy, I stopped in a small pizza shop in Assisi. The woman working the counter was incredibly friendly and talked with us quite a bit. My choir director translated for the women as she told us that she teaches her daughter and her students every day to smile. She told us the value of finding happiness in everything we do and realizing that life is too short to dwell on the things that make you unhappy. It was such a beautiful message in such an unexpected place, and something I don’t think I will soon forget. This morning was a stressful one. I had an incredibly hard time getting up at 4:30 this morning, I worked with a manager I don’t particularly like, and we were out of our mind busy for two of the four hours I was there. Yesterday, I got in a small fight with my siblings and was cranky for the majority of the day. As such, I figured it woul

Ten: Me & My Katamari (PSP)
My Gaming Journal

Ahhhh, Katamari. I had a lot of fun with the original on the PS2 a couple years ago, and so I decided to try it out when I bought a used PSP recently to play through some of the games I have been meaning to on that system. This was the first one I got my hands on, and it was a great introduction to the system (Even though I had a PSP a long while back, I don’t really even remember what I played on it. I sold it pretty quick.) The main concern people have with the Katamari series is that it is a lot of the same old same old every time. Well, this is true. There isn’t much to the game and after you’ve played one, you’ve really played them all. That being said, if you enjoy the gameplay and music and everything else about it, you won’t mind at all playing through similar games each time they come out. There wasn’t much different between this and the original as far and mechanics and stuff goes, but I enjoyed it like it was something brand new for me. Ba

Games That Won’t Kill Your Ultrabook
TechInUs

Many people aren’t yet familiar with the term “ultrabook,” but they’ve seen them everywhere. Ultrabooks are very thin, lightweight laptop computers designed for commuters, students and others who need to work and communicate while on the go. Trademarked by the Intel Corporation, ultrabooks have become very popular because they offer both long battery life and strong performance. Their solid-state drives provide space-efficient storage and eliminate the possibility of data loss caused by loss of power or trauma to the laptop itself. Furthermore, Ultrabooks have recently become much more affordable, and savvy shoppers can save even more with a Dell or HP coupon code. Ultrabooks aren’t just for business, however; many people also enjoy playing games on them. Because these computers are built for efficiency and portability, most models lack the processing power necessary for many huge, graphic-intensive games. Getting the best Ultrabook gaming experience isn

A fighting game for the New 52
Comicdom Wrecks!

I’m not normally the type of person to post trailers for movies or games, but I came across this trailer on the blog Joystiq for the game Injustice:  Gods Among Us, and just had to post it. To me, it looks ridiculous.  The Flash’s armor highlights the worst of the New 52 redesigns.  On the comic page, I haven’t really minded it being armor, because all it has added are a few lines for seems, but here, it’s a bit over accentuated.  And oh yeah, Wonder Woman is wearing pants.  It looks kinda like what was supposed to be in the Wonder Woman TV show.  Guess the developers were planning on that show still being around.  Or have been around to begin with. I’m not much of a fighting game fan, but the thought of having two different classes of fighter, power and gadget, sounds somewhat interesting.  These classes determine how the character interacts with the environment.
