I like to believe that one of the benefits for being in a relationship with a fellow geek is that insight into nerddom and the ability to buy amazing birthday presents that only someone else in immersed in nerdiness will understand the full awesomeness of. Fallout 4 is coming out […]
My post today is not written as a geeky mom, but as the avid gamer I used to be (and still am at heart, even if time doesn’t allow me to express it). Today we started decorating our new apartment. While both of us are huge nerds, we also like […]
There is an old saying that goes something like this. “Don’t judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes”. For the purpose of this article I would like to modify it to, “don’t judge a gamer mom until you have attempted to play through a video […]
Do you want biceps like Baleog? Abs like Sonya or perhaps a firm behind like Kerrigan? Time to start following the HOTS workout plan below. Like most parents I have very limited me time. Whenever I magically happen upon some me-time. I have to chose between gaming and all the […]
Today I learned a new term. “Closet Geek”. Apparently there are some people who are so embarrassed that they enjoy reading/watching stories about elves and dragons that they will keep this secret from everyone except their partners in crime.

Lalalalala, I can’t hear you over the sound of “I don’t give a shit” This Monday I picked my semi cranky kid up from kindergarten. There is nothing strange about her being cranky, most 1.5 year olds are when it is around dinner time. They are hungry, tired and not […]
I hate being called a noob. I take gaming and everything else I do very seriously and I always do everything I can to do a good job. I want to be the best! The same goes for being a mom, although of course I can never be the best […]
Have you ever been in a raid where the raid leader is well into assigning tasks, when someone says “that is not how we do it in my guild” or “the tactic says…”? In Vanilla WoW I was in a newbie guild. We were passionate about raiding, but we were […]
The second game I will recommend for parents with too little game time is Defender’s Quest. Before I start talking about the game, let me just say that I have spent waaaaay too much time on playing Bloons, Kingdom Rush and other tower defense games. That being said, there is […]
I mainly play with friends I know IRL or friends of those friends and it is usually a good way to avoid douchebags, but once in a while you still run into them, whether it is in a random game of LoL or a pick up group in WoW. And […]
Unless you have lived in a place with no electricity you have probably heard about Blizzards online TCG which went live last friday.It is the first one on my list of games that can be played when you have a child under 1. The reason it is on the list […]
As a new mom to a very demanding little human being finding time to game can be a challenge. When you are on call 24/7 your gaming ambitions needs to be toned down a bit. Before I had my child I played many hours a day and immersed myself in […]
