Game on Girl

There is a pretty hot trend of rolling back to the “old days” of video games. The Classic WoW servers, and the SNES and NES Classic Consoles are just a couple of ways we are seeing older games return. What is it about older games that make us sentimental? What are we returning to as we queue to get on the Classic WoW servers? Listen to Regina talk about the importance of nostalgia and how it relates to our gaming histories.

What happens when someone likes more than one way to game? What if you’re a little bit self and a little bit role play? What about mastery and self? Listen to Regina and Isabela talk about how the gamer types can work together to make an even more dynamic gaming experience.

Some major franchises in geek culture came to an end in the last few weeks. Listen as Regina talks about her reactions to and the cultural impact of The Big Bang Theory, MCU’s Endgame, and Game of Thrones.

Do you love jumping in a random group of people to play your favorite game? Do you play games mostly by yourself? Come join Regina McMenomy, Ph.D. as she talks about solo versus social gamers and how that attitude relates to her Gamer Types.

Hello Everyone! Yes, Game on Girl is back! This month I have a great interview with Indie Author, Trish Heinrich.

About Trish

Trish is an indie author I had the pleasure of being on a panel with at last year's Geek Girl Con. During our Geeky Moms panel, it was clear that Trish was articulate, engaging, and thoughtful person. I had no idea she was also a "WoW Head" and a serious gamer.

We have a great conversation talking about her evolution into being a superhero writer. We also talk about our love of all things Wonder Woman and an aversion we both have to reading comic books.

So give it a listen and let us know what you think!
