Last month I attended C2E2. C2E2 is a massive comic-con that happened at McCormick Place April 26-28, 2013 in Chicago, Illinois. It was also the first stop on my summer convention tour. I now have a convention almost every weekend until September. I did work at a booth for The D20 Girls Project with some other nerdy girls from Illinois. Pre-con booth set-up on Thursday was an easy day. Reina

The first MMO I ever played was Ultima Online (UO). I had fond memories of playing Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar and I had hoped that my enjoyable experience would be translated into the online version. Sadly, this was not the case, and UO was plagued with problems, but it did pave the way for other MMOs, such as EverQuest, which would in turn inform much of World of

Putting into effect, Macklemore’s song “Thrift Shopping” is my usual starting place for cosplay. I admire those who make their outfits from scratch, but I am not skilled enough with the serger and sewing machine to do an entire outfit in 2 days, so I often look for pieces with which I can work and adjust from there.

Steve Jackson’s Sorcery! is a tale of adventure based on the Sorcery! Gamebook series from the 1980s. Brought to you by Steve Jackson in connection with the British software studio, inkle, the game boasts magnificent illustrations, strategic combat and unique puzzles. Although all of those features do seem to exist there are some aspects of this game that seem to fall flat and leave you wanting just a bit more.

  Even though the Cosplay is Not Consent campaign has gotten a lot of attention since the PAX East Tomb Raider harassment story this past March, there have always been people out there that treat cosplayers and models in a disrespectful way. Dressed up as journalists or as photographers with fancy equipment, they walk around the aisles of convention centers looking for victims. Charisma + 2 is a group of talented, sexy and

  Last month I had the great pleasure of attending WonderCon! I only got to go on Saturday due to the fact that I was driving back from GDC on Friday and Sunday was Easter, but nevertheless, great times were had! One surprise highlight was getting to meet fellow C+2 model, Sarah. Here we are pictured as Wonder Woman and Bat Girl:   For my costume I used one my

Oh, to be a child again; to spend days blissfully playing hide-and-seek, eating mass quantities of candy without succumbing to illness, and being able to escape any horridly boring event purely by screaming. Here’s another reason to be envious of the little rascals: video game camps. Sure, we had Oregon Trail, but it realistically only taught us about the severe bloody diarrhea disorder known as dysentery. With the vast advancements

Hey Snails Inc., a California-based game developer, recently launched two new games for Facebook at the GDC Play Event in San Francisco.

Last to mention (and so not the least!) from Daedalic Entertainment is Goodbye Deponia. The final installment of the acclaimed comedic adventure point-and-click Deponia trilogy. For those unfamiliar with the series, the first game follows Rufus, a quirky low-class young man who longs to escape his village of Kuvaq on a planet made of junk called “Deponia”, and win the heart of his dream girl Goal, an upper-class citizen from
