About

Hello! Welcome to my blog, and thanks for stopping by.

This is a personal blog in which I write about anything related to games with a focus on my gaming experiences and critical perspectives on gaming culture. I have a particular interest in gender and how gender issues intersect with games.

I write from a feminist and anti-oppression perspective.

I've been playing videogames since the Atari 2600 and C64. I own the following games platforms: DS, GBA, GCN, N64, PC, PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii.

Games I have 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
• Rock Band

I also enjoy non-electronic games. I used to LARP (World of Darkness) and I play Dungeons & Dragons when I can.

I keep a list of my games collection, including games I'm currently playing or want to play, here.

Obligatory Disclaimer

This blog existed long before I started working in the videogame industry, and I have continued to write about games and gaming after having become a games industry professional. I maintain a separation between my interactions as a professional and my interactions as an average gamer. This blog is a personal space, so I do not write about my work here.

None of the opinions or commentary expressed on this site either in posts or in comments are the opinions of my employer and are not to be interpreted as such. If my company has anything to say, it will not be here, but on their official website and other official channels.
