I remember going to Circuit City when I was about ten years old to get my first color Gameboy and my first Pokémon game. Now, many years and a Nintendo DS later, I still play Pokémon, and I have been really looking forward to the new Black and White versions that have already been released
I have to admit, I’m not the biggest fan of the holidays. I work a lot and, if I do see family, it usually isn’t a big get-together. Working in retail generally makes me dread the holidays, but I still decorate to bring back some of the Christmas cheer. This year, all I asked for

I have only been harassed a couple of times for being a girl (not including comments like my title), and quite honestly,
Every so often, I like to blurb about some pretty awesome nerdy girls. The other week, it was ZeldaxLove64 from YouTube; this week it is BiiTTERSWEET, otherwise known as Celeste. I’m a pretty big Twitter fan. Okay, let’s face it, I’m obsessed with Twitter. I meet some rather amazing people, and it is honestly a
What would a game be without the visuals? Pretty much just noise that would make absolutely no sense whatsoever.
