More Words on Gaming

Hello Everyone, 

We have some exciting plans for Game on Girl in the very near future. Starting next week, we will have five new writers for the site.

Hooray! <Kermit flail> 

As many of you know, Game on Girl started as the website to support my dissertation research and this year I launched the podcast to continue interviews and the conversations that started here. Now I want to take that vision a step further and bring in even more perspectives on gaming and game culture. Although each of the new writers will be introducing themselves in greater detail next week, I thought I would share brief intros of them now. 

Toria (@missing_chapter) was a guest on episode 12 along with Mellisa (@somerocketeer). They've both been long and passionate supporters of the website and my research and I'm delighted they will be joining the Game on Girl crew. If you're on Tumblr, you can catch some of Toria's insights and writing there at http://the-missing-chapter.tumblr.com/.

Sharon (@ArcticWren) is a long time gamer and was our first role player interview in episode 7. Sharon also writes for LitStack where you can find some fabulous book recommendations. 

Jerry is also a role player and writer over at LVLs. He also came on the show to represent role players and cyber drag in episode 10.

Last and certainly not least is Schjoll, AKA Regina's friend Mark. You can hear interviews with him in episode five and 14 and mentioned in many other episodes as well. 

Please give them all a warm welcome!

Game on!

GoG Short #1 - Caine's Arcade

Hello Everyone! 

Hey look!  Rhonda and I got excited and we made a thing!  

GoG Shorts - Game on Girl's Gaming in Pop Culture Segment gets its own episode!  This is a quick, 10 minute piece where Rhonda and I talk about this amazing kid, I'm sure you heard about him, who made his own arcade out of cardboard boxes. 

Meet Caine

Click the picture to link to Caine's Arcade.com where you can watch the short film that Rhonda and I discuss and donate to Caine's college fund.  Really, you should buy a fun pass. We should ALL buy fun passes for $2 and get this kid into an engineering or game design program.  

If you don't know Jezebel, you really should check them out since I heard about Caine from them.

Let us know what you think of this short and very spontaneous show!

Game on!
