Video games are changing, and more women are playing them. Whether you like it or not.
guns

I'm at a video game developer's conference and feeling weirdly left out. It gets better?

poison sandwiches
One of these days, I expect my Xbox Live Gold account to go all Michigan Womyn's Festival in reverse, and require penis-checks at login. (Anyone got a penis I can borrow?)
