Two Rounds Left - A gamer's blog

An avid gamer, and an aspiring game reviewer/journalist this blog is dedicated to news, reviews, and general interesting facts about the gaming world and things I generally find amusing

Total War: Warhammer! Finally the tabletop battle that SHOULD be a great PC game is coming to PC and in the Total War series to boot. 

While this is just a cinematic trailer, the five races we glean from this are Empire, Dwarves, Orcs, Vampire Counts, and Chaos. I think it  we can safely assume high elves will also be included in the list of playable armies. 

I am personally hoping for Bretonnian’s as they are my favourite army in Warhammer to Play.

Blizzard’s April fools joke goes big... in the head

April fools jokes can either be amusing and cause a few chuckles, or terrible and annoy. Thankfully Blizzard has stepped up and really given us the right headspace to work in for the beginning of April. While these are not all of the characters, they are all the ones I have access too at the moment. Three quick things to note before the images

1. Jaina its super adorable

2. Kerrigan looks (to me) like a cartoon version of Kim Kardashian, which is terrifying in its own right

3. The big heads only seem to appear on default skin (colour doesn't matter). I did not test this too thoroughly though

You have a dinner date for seven pm. What time do you arrive?

[atticus-the-porg]

Seven. Am. Case the restaurant. Run background checks on the staff. Can the cook be trusted? If not I gotta kill him. Dispose of the body. Replace him with my own guy no later than 4:30.

Representation of Women in Video Games. The Cause?

So.  I said I’d do this and here it is.  I have a theory and I wanted to share it. Seemed topical given the online battle going on over video games.

What is up with female representation in video games?  Is it sexism?  Misogyny?  Ignorant?  Well, I have an idea and let me share it with you.  As usual, please, indulge me and read to the end.  It is along read so I hope you all are buckled in.

What is my theory?  That the problems with representation isn’t to do with the negative outlook on women from society.  It comes from the inherent positive view of women society has.  That is to say, the view that women are inherently nice and pure, that we shield women from harm, that society cares much more about the plight of women than it does men.

I’m sure I’ve already lost a lot of you.  But please, read beyond the break.  Give me a fair shake.  I’m a woman and I’ve been a gamer for a long time, probably close to a decade and a half.  I’ve seen these issues evolve and I’ve experienced a lot of this behavior in real life.  So, I’ll say again.

Give me a fair shake.
