Last night the guys over at Play or Die, a fun-lovin’, Chicago-based gaming radio show/podcast, were kind enough to have me on air with them for some thoughtful banter about women gamers and even a few hearty laughs. I admit I’m not 100% positive how the downloading process works, but if you’re cleverer than me with such things (which, really, isn’t hard) do check it out.
Yet again though, I leave you with this disclaimer: I am a fool when I’m not writing things down. Beware. Sentences come out of my mouth; who knows how they got there. One second I’m talking about the games industry as a boys club and the next thing I know I’ve said that my fiance is less dorky then me (He’s totally offended.), that the GameCube looks like a FisherPrice item (I fucking love Nintendo.), and that I would like to be plugged. It’s better if I stick to typing. Also, there’s something of a delay because we were speaking transatlantic. Yes, that’s it, blame the delay…
Thanks again to Vince and the Viceroy for being so darn friendly, and for covering my awkwardness with the trappings of good old-fashioned fun!
On an unrelated note, some of you have been sweet enough to enquire how I’m settling in here in the land of all things green. Long story short, yes, I’ve recently been poisoned by some bad potato products, but the city is great, the travel is amazing, and the Bulmer’s is endlessly tasty. What more could a girl need?

The ‘Cube does indeed look like a Fisher-Price item. I think Nintendo goes for that quite intentionally.

Aw, but I like it. It’s so… playable.

It appeals to your inner child!
Your inner Barbie-burning child.
