Hiya! Last time I talked about the strong female characters in Mass Effect and why the story of the game is better for it. Still, I have strong reservations about making Mass Effect or any video game into a movie. As any person who watched the live-action Street Fighter movies, the Tomb Raider films with…
Hiya! I’ve talked about all of the playable male human characters in the Mass Effect trilogy and how even the male Shepard is lame when compared to the females in the game. Now, I’m gonna expound a bit more on the human females of the series. Unlike the male humans, the female homo sapiens are…
Hiya! So, I’ve decided to post my first review on a game. It’s a MMORPG that was incredibly huge around a decade ago but has somewhat died down in popularity as more and more online games became prevalent. That game is Ragnarok Online. Even though this game was released way, way back in around the…
Hiya! Last time, I talked about the male characters of Mass Effect and how boring I found them. But I wasn’t able to explain why the female Shepard is more interesting vs. the male version, which is what I’m going to do now. The male and female Shepard will actually have the same general backstory…
Hiya! Last time, I went through my thoughts as to why some boys choose girl characters in video games. Me? While I would want to choose girl characters as much as I can, I’m more concerned about the story behind the character and it seems girl characters are given richer backstories. Case in point: the…
Hiya! So last week I wrote down my experiences of playing Street Fighter and my disappointment of having to use Vega instead of a female character. But this feeling doesn’t seem to apply to male gamers. In fact, I know a lot of guys who actually intentionally create girl characters in their games! I always…
Hiya! My last post tackled my history with The Sims. I also mentioned that it’s one of the games that I can play. The other one, and I know it’s going to be odd, is Street Fighter 4. I noted last week that I don’t really play games because I panic a lot. And I…
Hiya! Last time, I wrote a (possibly very incoherent) entry regarding why I think everyone has potential to have some geeky knowledge in them. I also mentioned that I usually watch my brother playing video games. I need to make a brief amendment to that. I do play video games. I don’t play them well…
Hiya! My name’s Robin, a 17-year old girl (going on 18) in the Philippines and I’ll be the one writing up a weekly entry regarding a girly point-of-view regarding geeky stuff. I honestly don’t consider myself that big of a geek. “So, what qualifies you to write about geeky things?” you may ask. Well, although…
