Oh yeah!
I forgot, my new project in fallout 4 is to remake the Winchester House, or at least a facsimile. Stairs to nothing, doors to solid walls, all sorts of fun stuff. Plus, because I hate my settlers thanks to Preston, all sorts of lethal traps, because I’ve saved enough people you self righteous bastard!
About those questions..
So, I’ve gotten some questions from people asking about some comments on receiving death threats. So, yeah I have received death threats, all sorts of personalized attacks, rape threats, mysterious packages sent to me, my work and home phones were leaked, my address and personal information exposed. The most chilling…
Oh man, so much fun
So I was playing the overwatch beta, and holy shit was it fun. Of course, I sucked at it, because I don’t have that hardcore level of focus I had when I was younger. It was super fun though. Mercy is my jam! I’m also trying to get back to World of Warcraft, because I want to be ready for Legion. I had dropped out for…
Hi Everybody! (Hi Dr. Ana)
So, I make no secret of the fact that I am a democratic socialist. I’m also a socialist feminist. I’ve been called a SJW, which I wear as a badge of honor. I work for social reforms, do volunteer work, and yes contribute to causes advancing women’s rights. I believe that public / private partnerships are the best way…
How about that sportsball?
I admit it, I don’t know shit about sports. I do like hockey, but that’s mainly because it’s fast as hell, and it’s punctuated with fights occasionally. (Not as much as when I was a kid, but y’know...progress) So my main sports are politics and gaming. I am an amazing gamer, just so great. You need a deathtrap sprung?…
Things and stuff and everything in between
I mSometimes I wonder if the world has gone mad. You have the rise of right wing nationalists globally, the nuclear powers starting to move to another cold war, shadow wars carried out globally in the name of fighting terrorism, and of course, my personal favorite, the rise of the demagogue here in the states. Many…
Gaming and pain management
So as a person that suffers from chronic and occasionally debilitating pain, I’m always looking for ways to manage it. Yoga, mindfulness, meditation, and all manners of prescriptions. One of the more effective things is actually gaming. It’s less of a mediation strategy like with pills, and more of a distraction and…
Extra, extra, read all about it
So yeah, it’s been a weird year so far. House shopping, house buying, moving, unpacking, and all that. I haven’t had a ton of time for my vices. I’ve been buying my comics, but haven’t had a chance to read them. When I do it’s going to be a big binge. Combine that with a new magic set that I’m stoked about, that I…
About that Nintendo stuff again...
So we finally broke down and got a Wii U. I know that they are going to replace it soon, but we mainly got it for the Wii Fit U. God damn, I forgot how fun a mario game is! I was playing Super Mario 3d World, and holy shit it is damn fun. I plan on getting Mario Kart and Super Smash Brothers, because god damn it I’m…
Damn, what year is it again?
Full disclosure, I’m a Gen Xer who grew up during the cold war.
The N64, when I fell out of love with Nintendo
Ah the N64, I remember it well. Super Mario 64, and it's 3d world! And how I hated it. It was just so not for me. The platforming, the look, the play, just hurt my head and eyes to play, so it was a no go. Now Pilotwings, there was a game I could play. I got a lot of enjoyment out of that silly thing.
It was like Whoa. A true Keanu Moment.
I remember seeing Final Fantasy 4 in the Meijer Rental area for months and reading and re-reading the back and studying the graphics on the box. It was so amazing. I looked at games like ActRaiser, UN Squadron, and was just blown away. But it was Final Fantasy 4 that I kept coming back too. It took months of begging…
The First Hit is Always Free
They gave away that copy of Dragon Warrior, and it was so different that the platformer games I had been playing or the shooting gallery games of the NES Zapper. The turn based battles, the inventory management, the need for strategic thinking, this really appealed to my already rpg loving self. You see, for my 6th…
The Arrival of the Great Grey Hope AKA the NES
I remember staring at the NES in the old Sears catalog. It was so cool! I won't lie though, my sister wanted it more, and I wanted the new Atari. Oh man, if my parents would have gotten that, man would we have been disappointed. ^.^ 5200 sucked major ass. I mean those controllers just didn't work half the time, and…
About Me, and How I started in Gaming
So hey, I'm Anastrace (@anastrace), 34 lesbian, transwoman, wiccan, and a feminist. Wow, just made myself an inviting target. Ha.
