There is a moment, during Wonder Woman, when Diana and Steve are rushing through one of the trenches on the front lines, and Diana stops to speak with a distraught woman who begs for her help. Steve tries to pull her with him, saying they need to keep going and this...
Okay, I love Jane Austen. I especially love Pride and Prejudice. I absolutely adore the 1995 BBC version with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. Today, I decided to watch the 2005 movie version with Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. And now I need to blog, because...
So, let's talk about Anna. Once again, major spoilers ahead, so click away now if you haven't seen Frozen yet. Alrighty then, still here? Let's move on. Has Anna seen Elsa? Here's what we know about Anna. She's six when Elsa accidentally whacks her in the head with...
I've been trying to articulate for a while just why Frozen irritates me, in spite of all the hype over this being a Disney movie focused on the relationship between two sisters etc etc. After seeing it a few weeks ago, I decided to mull it over a while and then...
So... I saw the trailer for Broken Age about two weeks ago, when my better half reminded me that Tim Schafer's Kickstarted game was coming out soon. My immediate reaction could basically be summed up as HOLY FUCK WHERE IS THIS GAME CAN I PLAY IT...
The Heat is still my favorite movie of 2013, just FYI. It was a buddy cop film with two women as the leads, one of which was Melissa McCarthy being her usual awesome self. It had a minimum level of romantic bullshit, and the more overt displays of sexuality were NOT...
So... it's old news that I love the Gears of War series. I mean I seriously love it. I got into console games because my better half got me playing Gears of War. I went to PAX Prime in 2011, and the highlight of my trip was playing Gears of War 3 and kicking all kinds...
First person shooters are not exactly known for their feminism. Hell, they're not really know for much of anything apart from being the domain of immature teenage boys or a scapegoat for the more hysterical parts of the right-wing media. Team Fortress 2, Valve's free...
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a very bittersweet game. It's effectively a single player clone of World of Warcraft, and, by all accounts, and 38 Studios planned to release a massively multi-player version. But it was not to be. The studio went under, owing millions...
This is one of those games that I love to hate. It's equal parts frustrating, awesome, problematic, and everything in between. Skyim is the descendent of Morrowind and Oblivion, two games that very nearly bored me to tears and then some. I came to the Elder Scrolls...
As part of transferring my blog to WordPress, I've decided to start a new series - reviews of popular games that look at just how well they measure up in terms of body acceptance, sexism, racism, all that social justice stuff. So, let's start at the very beginning -...
Guys, I tried. Honestly. I got as far as Bella meeting Edward's creepy family. I can go no further. I just can't finish Twilight.It is honestly some of the most god-awful writing I have ever encountered, and that includes crap I've read on Fanfiction.net.My only...
