How can I get my kid to love roleplaying games as much as I do? How can I teach her to play pen and paper tabletop RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons so in a few years I can finally have a full group of players to game master for. These […]
When my daughter was 2 years old I had the good fortune to decide what she wished for as she still couldn’t properly formulate what she wanted for Christmas. It meant that I got to write the below wishlist for a geeky toddler (and her parents). I imagine it will […]
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. Imagine that! Instead of owning up to having spent their Saturday […]
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 […]
Next month it will be time to celebrate the second Halloween with my tiny troll and I have been window shopping for costumes for some time now. Last year I got all excited about Star Wars baby costumes, so this year I figured I would look at characters from comic […]
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 […]
My daughter is turning 1 in April and I have been struggling whenever a family member of friend has asked what she wishes for her birthday. I finally compiled a list that I will share with you. I really wanted everything to be super geeky, but unfortunately a lot of […]
My mini geek is turning 1 year in April and I want to celebrate it with style. But first things first, I needed to find some amazing nerdy invitations. It has actually been harder than I first expected to find something I think is cool. Hearthstone theme for first birthday […]
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 […]
Which present should I as a geeky parent buy for my little babys first Christmas? This is a question I have been asking myself a lot as December nears. There are so many awesome gadgets and toys out there that it is hard to pick and at the same time, […]
My little daughter just turned 6 months and that means it is time to start feeding her solids. (Or purees at least). The childrens health consultant told me, that it is a great idea to introduce a cup of water with each spoonfed meal to start a good habbit for […]
I am a geeky parent and if it was up to me all the toys and baby accessories of my little baby would be geeky as well. It can be hard to find nerdy baby items though and that is why I get so happy when I stumble upon cool […]
First Halloween with my baby girl means finding a geeky costume that will fit a 6 month old. Since nothing says geek more than Star Wars I went looking for outfits that would make my little one look like one of the characters from the epic movies. I found not […]
