Some of the other eras are tough too, but today we’re looking at Warhammer 40k and it’s sad lack of female models where there should not be a lack.

There are a lot of events planned for the near future at the LGS – Giga-Bites Cafe. If you are local we encourage you to come out and see us or the event or both! There are plenty of things to do, for any type of gamer!  Continue Reading

So, I try not to talk too much about my day job when I’m writing stuff that will permanently stay online, but I’ll make an exception for this little anecdote. I work with kids on a daily basis, and last week one of them came up to me and told me I was cool.

I asked what he meant, and he said, “Oh, you know, you like World of Warcraft and stuff. You’re just really cool like one of those guys on The Big Bang Theory.”
