Big news time!
The editors at Gamasutra, one of the best remaining games journalism sites around, have invited me to start a member blog dedicated to all things gaming meta, and my first entry, on how Dragon Age 2 tracks The Heroine’s Journey (which should sound awfully familiar, no?), has already been made a Featured Post! Very exciting.
So even if you saw version 1.0 of that essay, I’d invite you to go check this new version out, as I made substantial edits to the essay and changed around a few conclusions.
To be honest, I’m a little nervous about the whole enterprise, even though for several years in a previous life I worked as a full-time games journalist. I mean, it’s one thing to publish game criticism under in the relative anonymity of my Tumblr handle, and within the safe space of a fandom. It’s another thing entirely to publish under my real name and for the greater gaming community at large. Wider audiences inherently invite more trolls, and as much as I do believe “haters gonna hate”, there is equal wisdom in knowing when and where to pick your battles. Thoughtful, feminist-minded game critique tends to incite rage in a certain unsavory element within the gaming community — and it’s one of the reasons I left the biz in the first place.
Still, despite my nerves I have full confidence in both the maturity of Gamasutra’s audience and the advocacy of the editorial staff that this enterprise has a strict no-trolls-allowed policy.
The plan is to update the blog once a week, probably on Mondays (meta Monday!). You’ll probably see a fair bit of crossover in content published both places, as I’ve been encouraged to mine my tumblr for gems and vice versa. But generally, I’m viewing this blog as a push to branch out a bit from my usual source of inspiration, Dragon Age, and delve deeper into some of my other favorite games, maybe Uncharted, Grim Fandango, Beyond Good and Evil, Psychonauts,some indie games like Bastion or Journey, etc. Hope you enjoy the ride!

Ok, now off to bed for realz.
I’d read all of ‘em.
I’m pretty sure I’d be addicted to this series. I’d hide them under my bed and read them over and over again.
I used these pictures as “covers” for my DA fanfic on my ebook reader. Best covers ever.
