Acid for Blood

After I started my new job a couple of months ago, I was going to respond immediately to the bigoted, ignorant, and narrow-minded views of several people in various gaming communities. Since then I’ve been busy at work and at home, and frankly I haven’t been in much of a mood to blog, nor have […]

A real post to come later tonight after work, honest.
For now, I have several oh-so cutting-edge Web 2.0 things to share.
1) I am on Twitter. Updated with the minutiae of my life, when I remember. Not that anyone cares, but in case you’re bored.
2) I have a tumblelog on Tumblr. There isn’t anything there yet. […]

Friday, 23rd March marked the launch of The IRIS Network. “The IRIS Network? What’s that?” you say? The IRIS Network is a new website that brings women, other underrepresented gamers, and their friends together to discuss, network, and share perspectives in an inclusive, safe (zero tolerance for harassment, etc.) environment. People who enjoy electronic and/or […]

So, I’m on Rupture. What now?
Oh wait. I guess I have to play WOW to network on this thing. I’ll get back to it. Eventually. Maybe.
