I let my MMO friends talk me into giving Star Wars: the Old Republic (SWTOR) a go on release date. I thought that maybe I’d buy it, pay for a subscription and then lose interest in it as I have so many of the other MMOs I’ve tried. No matter what happens, I try a [...]

New Sponsors!
Although not “new” in that I’ve had their links on the sidebar for a while, I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome batzy and Deadly Nightshade Botanical Society as new sponsors to the Zombie Geek Girl site. When it comes to custom vector portraits, batzy at Etsy does some really nice work (and did [...]

Internet: Only if you can afford it? (Usage-Based...
If you’re on the internet as much as I am, you’ve likely heard about the idea that’s been bantered around about allowing usage-based billing up here in Canada-land. According to the Anti-UBB website, ISPs are looking at setting bandwidth caps at something incredibly low. So low that I’m seeing that a suggested cap is 25GB, [...]

Card sharkin’ at the Inventory
So I’m not the best poker player, but I do enjoy the game itself. I haven’t played with real cards around a table with other people in a long time, regardless of the game. Playing the old Windows Games versions was kind of boring, as it was just a bunch of hands displayed on a [...]
After reading an article on Lifehacker about services people pay for online, I was feeling inspired to write about some of my favourite sites, apps, etc. Some I pay for. Some I don’t. This might become a regular column so that I don’t overwhelm a single blog post about everything and anything I think is [...]

I don’t have a game-related post today, sorry. It’s more about movies. In rearranging our DVD and VHS collection (yes, we still have VHS), I was reminded of some really great movies (and not so great movies) that I enjoyed in the past. Some of these, I’ll have to get on DVD and see about [...]
Anyone who knows me knows that I really despise ads of many types, including ads on websites. Even commercials get muted in my home, telemarketers get none of my time, and I threaten to call the police on salesmen who show up at my door and demand that I open the door so they can [...]
In the last four months or so, I have begun to explore the world of console gaming after being primarily a PC gamer for about 30 years. Was this recent exposure to consoles my first tie playing on such a system? No, no. But I hadn’t really considered this form of gaming as a real [...]

It’s sad that my original character (a Night Elf warrior named Lathela) is not yet level 85, but my next favourite character (a Draenei ice mage named Ozera) hit level 85 sometime last week. I’m rather excited about this and have been struck with quite the sense of accomplishment. Not only do I have my [...]
There are plenty of reviews out there about World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, I know; I just have to share my own thoughts on the subject regardless. I’ve been playing Warcraft for about four or five years now and have enjoyed it, for the most part. Some of the new content from the Lich King expansion pack was pretty [...]
