Pure Geekery Interviews: Int Eighty of Dual Core

I’ve had a few posts on here about work being a bit rough lately. I posted some of my ways of dealing with it (which kind of fizzled out entering week three). I eventually had to step down from my derby team’s roster because I couldn’t attend practice enough. I was going to

A TV Revolution

Warning: This may contain spoilers. But seriously, the show has been on since September- it’s not really a spoiler at this point. However I promise not to elaborate on anything from the last few episodes. 🙂 What would you do without power & technology? Without lights, cell phones, tv, and computers? As

Free Comic Books?!

Free Marvel comic books, you say? On my tablet/phone/computer?! Have no fear, fellow comic geeks- ComiXology and Marvel wouldn’t leave dedicated fans hanging for long! If you missed it the first time, ComiXology and Marvel have returned their “700 Free Marvel #1’s” after the original March release crashed the ComiXology platform. This time,

Citadel DLC: You are Perfect

Non Spoiler Rant I have to rant a bit before I begin. I HATE the idea of DLC. I understand it for multiplayer. There are servers to maintain after all. But if it’s part of the campaign I feel it the content included in the price of the game. Maybe locked, so you

5 on Friday: Nicole’s 5 Favorite Doctor Who Episodes

Its new Who weekend! We finally are getting the second half of season seven and I’m stoked. In celebration, here are my five favorite Doctor Who episodes. I intentionally tried to leave off two parters and season finales. Because then it’s just too easy. I made an exception for The Empty Child/The Doctor

My Happiness Project

I’m going to level with you, dear readers. I hate self-help books. They evoke horrible memories of high school assemblies and bad Oprah episodes and turn me in to a twitchy mess. Roller Derby helped me through my divorce, yoga is helping me be more comfortable with who I am, I have

Gaming with RSI

Growing up on computers has given me many things. An unyielding desire for information. A need to know how things work. A love for figuring how else I can make it work once it does. A career. A passion. It’s also given me horrible eyesight. And carpal tunnel at 26. I’m in

A Girl in Geek Culture…

Hi my name is Nicole. I’m 26. I’m female. And I play video games. And because of all that, I was nervous to write this post. This in itself shows how much of a problem we have.   This past week has seen a spike in coverage about women in geek culture.
