http://www.lake-desire.com/newgameplus Dismantling Patriarchy One Video Game at a Time Fri, 09 May 2008 18:59:19 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Games are for kids, right? That's a popular perception, or one gamers like myself seem to have about how nongamers see games. But I've been playing Pokémon and Twilight Princess with my friend's six year old son, and I find it amazing how much supposed "kids" games or kid friendly ... http://www.lake-desire.com/newgameplus/index.php/archives/282 Hello! It's been a while, hasn't it? I've been pretty busy with grad school and cycling. But I'm still gaming! I've finally gotten on the Puzzle Quest bandwagon. Wow, there's a lot of mindless hours! I don't even read the story because I'm so ... http://www.lake-desire.com/newgameplus/index.php/archives/281 Super Smash Bros. Brawl is out today. I'm actually planning on buying it new, which I haven't done with a game since Pokemon Pearl. (That I can think of!) I'll let you all know how I like it. I'm pretty pumped about all the controller options--looks ... http://www.lake-desire.com/newgameplus/index.php/archives/280 February's issue of Cerise is up, and it's on princesses. http://www.lake-desire.com/newgameplus/index.php/archives/279 Hey all. I want to pick your brains. I'm taking a class on intermedia theory, and I'm deciding what to write my final paper on. I'd like to focus on remediation, the theory that new media mimics old form (like ebooks mimicking the printed page). I'm curious if ... http://www.lake-desire.com/newgameplus/index.php/archives/278 I pirate games. I'm a bit afraid to openly admit it on the internet because I don't know if saying so incriminates myself in some way, and I'm not sure if I'll be reprimanded by my readers. I wanted to open discussion and see how my fellow radical ... http://www.lake-desire.com/newgameplus/index.php/archives/277 I like videogame music. Big surprise, huh? I hear enough of it when I play games, so when I'm walking around with my headphones on or burning a nerdy dance mix, I go for fan remixes of the songs from my favorite games. I always assume that every gamer ... http://www.lake-desire.com/newgameplus/index.php/archives/276 I got Metroid Prime 3 for Christmas. I haven't really played much of the old Metroid games, but I figure it's about time I get into the series because folks I trust rave about it. And I admit I'm intrigued by Samus and want to join the conversation ... http://www.lake-desire.com/newgameplus/index.php/archives/275 I'm at my parents' house for the holidays, and actually have time to go online and catch up on the old blogs I used to read. Jeff on Feminist Allies writes in What Men Can Do Wednesday: Avoid Being the Hero that the need to be rescued is a gendered act. ... http://www.lake-desire.com/newgameplus/index.php/archives/273 I finally updated my antispam plugins. I guess I never thought to, and just kept deleting the 40-60 spam comments and trackbacks that got through. Do the machines advertising the FF10 hentai know this is a gamer site, or throw that stuff all over the internets?' Meanwhile, in real ... http://www.lake-desire.com/newgameplus/index.php/archives/272
