Real Girls Gaming
It seems the gamer girl stereotype has shifted, where once we were unbearably unsightly; we now seem to be naked. When I became aware of this strange trend, I laughed, since I was sure this wasn’t the case (being of the gaming in clothes persuasion). But my search for attired ladies playing games only managed to support this odd nude gaming moniker (found so many images of naked ladies tangled in controllers). Though all these ladies are beautiful (clearly not unsightly) and have lovely breasts (who doesn’t like boobs!), it felt a little unbalanced. We really don’t all play naked.
Thus my quest was born! To collect as many images of clothed ladies actually playing games (not just posing with a controller).
That’s how it started anyway. It has since morphed into anything rah-rah women gaming, but the prudish part is staying!!
Know of something that would fit right in? Send it over or tell me about it.

My name is Anna. I am hoping you’ll spread the word that I’m looking to for a team for the Fall Championship in Dallas, TX with MLG this year for Halo 4. Halo 4 will not be released until November 6th, but luckily MLG was given permission to release it early for tournament play.
I have been with MLG now for six years. I am highly dedicated and a team player. I live in Dallas so travel would not be a problem. I hope you’ll post this and let any gamers that are interested in competing with me for Halo 4 to contact me on tumblr or on Xbox Live, gt: Dangerous Cutie.
Thank you
Happy to pass this on! I hope you find an awesome team! <3

I played many games in the past, not so much in the current but last summer I did my girls Munchkin to play. They took to the game fast and really live the idea that fun is more important than getting the rules exactly right. :)
With TableTop we were inspired to get a gaming table and start exploring even more games. The girls love Zombie Dice and Gloom from the show but also really like playing Dixit. The thing they really love is the opportunity to tell a story so our Gloom games tend to be very lengthy.
I’ve also taught my girlfriend Carcassonne and we’ve also played rounds of Munchkin and Gloom.
Here’s my girls getting started on another round of Gloom.

This is my 2 year old daughter “playing” Zombie Dice. It’s her new favorite game, thanks to Tabletop! She always participates in game night by stealing “dices” off the table. Thanks Wil Wheaton and Tabletop for helping us find new interesting games for our family to play :)

Our family has had game nights ever since my kids were little and we continue to play games even though my son is about to head off to college and my younger two are both teens. It’s a great way to bring everyone together. And we’ve extended our love of games to other members of the family, including my nieces and nephews. Here are some of them (along with my lovely wife) in the middle of a rousing introduction to what my kids affectionately call “The Train Game”. :-)

We’ve always played games in our house, and Tabletop has been a wonderful introduction to new and fun games that bring together the whole family! Here’s a shot from this evening, when my wife and I sat down with the kids to dream up some dreariness in a hilarious game of “Gloom”. (And, of course, after watching the Tabletop episode, my son and I couldn’t resist over-alliterating EVERYTHING!)
Many thanks to everyone who makes Tabletop so great - it’s not just a ton of fun, it inspires a ton of fun that my whole family can have *together*, and that’s a wonderful thing.-Tony
The Geek and Sundry show TableTop inspiring more table top gaming for all.

After seeing someone else on tumblr playing Zombie Dice with their little one, I realized it was the perfect game for my daughter and I (I couldn’t take Monopoly Jr. even one more time). Here she is, holding up her the “Zombie Dice Trophy” after she legitimately won her very first game! Definitely a keeper!
YES! Brains!

So I recently became an intern for scifibloggers.com, a brand new online magazine that focuses on sci-fi and fantasy entertainment. The coverage includes sci-fi movies, TV shows, books, video games and more.
[can’t believe I found a site where I could gain experience writing about video games]Wrote my first post and got it approved by my editor =]
It’s titled “Top 5 Video Game Weapons that Left me Glued to My Console,” and you can view it here!
I could have written about more than 20 weapons, but there is a word limit and I picked 5 significant ones from the bunch that had personal sentimental value. I also thought that these weapons would be fun to write/blog about. My next post will be a review of the AC III Pre-Alpha Game Footage so hang tight!
