Hey guys, check it out – I uploaded another JazFusion plays video! This time with better sound, AND I have a proper YouTube account. Don’t worry, though, the monkeys I have hired to do my bidding are working on subsequent parts. So enjoy this one!

Spending The Night With A Dark Soul

Have you ever had a one night stand that ended with disastrous results? I’ve had a few.

So when I decided to play Dark Souls one night, I didn’t think I’d need bleach to get the stains out. What started as a perfectly innocent night ended rather horribly, though my television is still intact.

Savage Worlds

I got to spend my Saturday night nerding it up with some good friends. My husband and I host monthly tabletop gaming nights. We’re definitely into the pen-and-paper RPG’s, and board games. The problem with board games, though, is they don’t allow for a whole lot of role-play, and let’s face it, that’s where this group of friends shines.

Hey guys, I just did my first JazFusion Plays video! Still working out the kinks of my mic issues (there have been many). I will try to finish the beta tonight (no guarantees). Enjoy!

And here is Part 2!

Super Kawaii Happy Fun Time Action Theater!

At least, that’s what Double Fine should have called it. Instead, they chose Happy Action Theater. Which is just as well, because my creative genius demands large sums of money.

Speaking of large sums of money, did you hear Tim Schafer single-handedly raised more than $1 million American dollars in 24 hours? I can only contribute this to the purchase of Happy Action Theater I made. Karma!

Hey guys, I just wanted to shamelessly plug a reading I did for the crew over at The H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast. If you like H.P. Lovecraft’s work, and haven’t already been listening to Chris and Chad, you really should! They put on an entertaining show every week. There is also tons of merch in their store my husband has designed.

So check it out, and enjoy the reading!

Azathoth – H.P. Lovecraft

How Old ARE You?

I have a confession to make: I am rapidly approaching my 30th birthday. In actuality, it’s only two years off, but I can feel its oppressive weight looming somewhere near those fine lines I didn’t notice years prior. What happened to my youth? Am I happy with how I have spent my third decade?

Feminism, Sexism and You

I don’t think I have made it a point to tell you a secret: I am female. I have done all the things normal women have done – reached puberty, perfected the art of applying liquid eyeliner, painted my nails, sewed my own skirt, pined for a certain boy, got married, birthed a child, etc. It is safe to say I know how to be a woman, simply because I am. Cogito ergo sum, but I am no Descartes.

I do know one thing for certain, though. Here’s what it is like to be a woman on the internet: be prepared for a barrage of sexual advances such as you have never seen. No matter what age, weight, height or even if, in fact, you are a woman. Most especially if you are a female gamer. Want to play a quick game of…anything? Too bad, because you’d rather stare at some stranger’s sack of balls, right? It’s only natural.

Even if you look past the riff-raff that seems to loiter about like a pack of starving wolves, you still have to contend with all the gaming companies pushing boobs into your face. Woman only want to motorboat other women’s breasts, right? I mean, that’s what happens when a gaggle of women drink wine and have sleepovers, right?

Do you see what I am doing here? Probably not. Have you read this far? Let me lay it down for you gently.
