軌道上から核攻撃だ……それが、確実に始末する唯一の方法だ。

AboutHello, and welcome to my games blog! I’m longtime gamer, starting with the Commodore 64 and the Atari 2600, right through my formative years with the Super Nintendo, and all the way up to current and recent generation consoles. On this blog, I make observations about games from my personal point of view. I write from a feminist and anti-oppression perspective, and I have a particular interest in how social and cultural issues intersect with games. Some games I’ve really enjoyed: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Dance Dance Revolution Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem Guild Wars Guitar Hero Ico Katamari Damacy Metal Gear Solid Metroid series, especially Super Metroid Rock Band SingStar I enjoy non-electronic games. I used to LARP (World of Darkness) and I play Dungeons u0026#038; Dragons when I can. I also write for The Border House, a feminist blog focused on the perspectives of gamers who belong to marginalised groups. I’m fairly active on Twitter, and I have written an FAQ for interactions with me there. More About Me I live in the United States and work in the videogame industry as a community manager.
