Bioware's Jennifer Hepler and Gendered Insults
EDIT: Her name is Jennifer not Jessica and this is why I write posts in the evening and review them thirty million times before I publish.
So Jennifer Hepler is a writer at BioWare and said some things about games which I disagree with but we’re not going to go there. She suggested a “skip combat” button in games. Since the schtick here at TeamV isn’t about critiqueing...
Sorry for having gone dark, guys. SUPER DUPER SICK. Liek woah. Promise we’re here. Will return next Tuesday.

Happy Valentine's Day!
It’s that time of year again! Â Where people in love try to make up for months of neglect with a bouquet of roses and enough candy to make anyone beg for insulin, or where everyone else waits for the day after to get gobs of heart-shaped confections at 75% off and binge away their misery at being foreveralone.
…Ok, maybe I overexaggerate a bit.
But! Â Valentine’s day is still a...

So Imma Talk About Once Upon a Time and Racefail
Note: This post is nothing but spoilers for the Once Upon a Time episode titled “Fruit from the Poisonous Tree.”
Okay, so, hopefully by now everybody’s at least heard of Once Upon a Time. If not, it’s a show on the televisions where all the fairytale characters of McEurope are in a small town in Maine and they don’t know they’re fairytale characters, and the...

Making Math Nerds out of paired-up X-Chromosomes
While perusing through the fascinating links provided by our fantastic Head Valkyrie, I stumbled across this article discussing a new way to increase female participation in math contests. Well, the method isn’t new, exactly - affirmative action’s been around for years. But it’s working - and by working, I mean it’s bringing more girls into math competitions - so...

Gaming, Romance, and the Stupid Shit Other People...
So let’s talk about stupid shit.
The reason I get tense around Valentine’s Day isn’t because of oh how sad it’s Singles Awareness Day, or how it’s just a corporate holiday constructed to sell Hallmark cards, blah blah blah. I mean, sure, those things bug me, but I’ve gotten past the point where I need to bitch about them. No, it’s crap like what you see...

Many Links for a Monday
I don’t have the ability to write up about things intelligently at the moment. Or the time, really. So I’m going to give a linkdump of interesting links that I want to share. This isn’t everything I want to share, some stuff I want to expand upon. But it’s a list.

This is Why No One Likes You: Geek Rage on Reddit
So some broface neckbeard decided he hates girls who are geeky — especially girls who are recently geeky — because apparently girls can’t be real geeks and blah blah blah. Thankfully, he got pretty promptly torn down, and one of the teardowns is particularly epic.
Folks, please. Can we stop drawing lines in the sand about what a “real” geek is? The only thing I give...
