A few days ago, the results of the 2011 Frag Doll Casting Call were announced. This year, two lucky young women were plucked out of the Frag Doll Cadettes Academy to join the ranks of paid corporate spokesmodels! Clearly, this would not hav...

Note: This is a response to the recent front page news article, "Pitchford: Feminist organizations welcome to attack Duke" by Jim Sterling. It is not an examination of his past pieces or stances; honestly, I really don't want to draw any mo...

Since my last post got frontpaged (see: Self-Congratulatory News, below), my blog has been looking mighty empty and neglected. THIS WILL NOT DO! Especially because I�ve been doing a lot of pretty amazing things recently. Whoa, calm down....

I don�t know how many times I have to repeat this: GAMES ARE NEVER GOING TO GAIN COMPLETE MAINSTREAM CREDIBILITY UNTIL THEY STOP MARKETING THEMSELVES LIKE ENERGY DRINKS. I hate when game content is probably perfectly legitimate (and maybe e...

Because I am a cultured woman of the world and possess many leather-bound books, I am currently attempting to learn the fanciest of languages, French! I can�t say that I�m any good at it really, despite hours of practice and learning all th...

So you probably noticed I haven�t posted lately. (Yeah right, like anyone but my mom notices. Fickle bitches.) It�s not really for lack of wanting; I love this site, I love you people, I love games, I love waffles, I love writing. And yet...

Before I get started, let me just mention that Guncannon's podcast (which I appear in) on history in video games is up. Everyone was fantastic and the whole thing is just awesome, even though I sound like some kind of overexcited chipmunk e...

O HAI DESTRUCTOID COMMUNITY! Another boring, quick update from me. Yes, I made it to California without incident, although now that I live here I find myself all of a sudden having a life. Is that weird, or what? I mean, I've hardly turned...

So I've been away from Destructoid-land recently as I've been preparing for a move of epic proportions. As such, I've had to cut back on the internet time for fear of becoming a scrappy vagabond with naught but a penny to my name but a song...

Despite being a grown-ass woman, I still have a not-so-secret passion for cutesy things. Perhaps being raised on Sailor Moon and Fun Dip has caused saccharine sweetness to run through my veins. (That sounds like the origin story of the lame...

Yeah, I know you were all DYING to know what I think of Mass Effect 2 now that I've beaten it. This will be my last Mass Effect post; there's only so much I can say without getting into completely arbitrary territory (which, let's face it, ...

I�m not putting in any spoilers unless it�s something that can easily be deduced from the official promotional site; I�m not here to make anybody cry. NOT TODAY. Also, I�m holding off on analyzing the characters too much until I�m done with...

Warning: This post is highly nerdtastic and full of Mass Effect jargon. I apologize if you�re one of the dozen people who haven�t played the original Mass Effect. Also, it�s long. Like, really long. You've been warned. Soooo, Mass Effect 2...
