On Youthful Rejections Of Gender Stereotypes

Like pretty much every child with a pulse, I loved me some Pac-Man in the early 80s.  I had a Pac-Man lunchbox, a cassette tape of the Pac-Man Fever album, books on how to beat Pac-Man…  I shoved a lot … Continue reading

A Tale of Two Ti… No.

Earlier this year, I realized that I owned FIVE games from the Senran Kagura series, and hadn’t actually finished any of them.  I decided to start with the spin-off rhythm game, and liked it enough to the point where it … Continue reading
