My friend Cameron is a really cool dude. He can draw like nobodies business, he is is an archaeologist (umm hello we’re the best!), and he plays/DM’s D&D with the best accents you’ve ever heard. He also does something very special for his friends: on their birthday, he creates and absolutely EPIC tale of bravery and badassery based around their D&D character. Well, yesterday was my birthday, and I couldn’t wait to see mine.

It’s so good, I had to share!

one time, a half Orc Cameron bundled my Druid bear in a tabard and carried him up a well. And then he drew it.

I’ve been asked quite a few times what games I own, and I always let out a sigh before I try to answer. There are just way too many games to try and catalog out loud – so I’ve made a list as a reference! Now if you want to play together, or help me decide what to stream, you know what I have here!

Organized by platform/console, listed in alphabetical order, and linked to Amazon so you can see what it is/ buy it. And some of these I’ve actually finished!

yup. a carry-over from my gaming shame list.

See what I did there?! HA

I can’t think of a much better way to start the new year off than with a post that looks optimistically forward into what you want to accomplish. And putting all the “eat better, try harder in school” resolutions aside, I made some specifically for my geeky self. I also reached out to twitter to see what other people were resolving to do with their 2013!

Geekmates is taking over the internet!

Okay, not really at all – but I have been writing in other places other than here! I’ve been meaning to give an update but I just keep on forgetting. Bad Sarah, bad!

wouldn’t want to step on these guys toes, anyway.

I hate drama, and I hate seriousness, but I think this is important … we will return to our regularly geeky posts next week.

The thing I love most about the gaming community is how supportive everyone is of each other. We all reblog, promote, like, RT, share and comment on everything, because we know that more being involved with everyone will only help the community grow. It’s not about competition, it’s about involvement. Because of this, I share my blog on Facebook and Twitter, in Facebook groups, and in turn share what other people are doing too. I love to see what people are doing around me and sharing it with my followers!

Today, however, I got a taste of the not so supportive side of the community. I don’t get fussy over the “girl gamer” title. I don’t call my guy friends “guy gamers” because we’re all just gamers. But sometimes things happen where I want the “girl gamer” community to bolster together, because we are targeted for the fact that we have vaginas. Today is an example of that.
