Like with video games, I’m no pro when it comes to social lives — especially in the love department. I’m a lone wolf who spends 90% of the week cooped up between four walls taking solace in one-sided conversations with a toy robot. So the only thing I Read More

If you’re like me, you’re swinging single and have very few offers to mingle. So you sit and daydream about who your perfect boyfriend would be and, yeah, sometimes that perfect guy is a well-rounded dude and other times he’s like the ones we have on Read More

When Comikaze started announcing their lineups and panels, my friend and I were immediately interested in the singles panel. Why? Well, we like to put ourselves in the most awkward situations, obviously. We endured an hour of putting ourselves out there Read More

When I mapped this whole thing out I knew right away that I wanted to focus on the social — rather, love — lives of geeks, nerds, dorks, dweebs, and so forth and so on because I felt like it belonged amongst the topics. We may not collect partners the Read More

It doesn’t matter if you’ve played just one video game ever or spend hours invested in them, you’ve imagined what it’d be like to live inside them. How toned would your body be if you had to live eternity in DDR, would you have been able to rally the Read More

This time last year I’d seen none of the movies nominated for the Best Picture Oscar because I didn’t care about a tiger in a boat or a story about an older couple in love — was Amour the live-action Up? Now it’s time to step out of the past and get to Read More

You didn’t think we’d go the whole month without me talking about my connection to the theme, right? There isn’t a game system in my possession today and I don’t spend hours at the local arcade like it’s 1994, but I have a special place in my heart for Read More

When Logan Earnest was a kid he became an addict. Oh no, this isn’t one of those tales found on that Intervention show. His addiction wasn’t life threatening or anything; he was just really into Nintendo and, since childhood, has spent one too Read More

Your parents likely called (still call) them a waste of time, but to you they’re quests to far off lands, and they place you in an interactive world where you’re truly in control of your own destiny — unlike reality. The real world’s chock full of Read More

For over a year I gave you my take on men and women in the geek sphere who make us go absolutely insane (in a good way). Along the way I’ve even tossed in shows and movies like The Walking Dead and Harry Potter. Now it’s time to say goodbye and move Read More

It was hard to sit down and write this, not because the thought of Zooey Deschanel makes me weepy, but because this is the last Fangirl’s Guide for awhile. It’s going to take a break for something new. That project hopes you’ll be as nice to it as Zooey Read More

This week couldn’t come soon enough. While I love Orlando Bloom’s face, hair and body, I could not wait for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug to come out. The sooner it’s in theaters, the sooner the commercials will stop. I’m tormented daily by the Read More
