This is probably my 15th attempt at blogging . It took a really long time to find the write place to express my thoughts. So, what really is the purpose of me doing so? There are many things that people are afraid to talk about and address, especially in the gaming world. This is what I do. This is what I was destined to do. I am a black female gamer. So what, you say? Many people who say that very statement really don’t understand what kind of an impact that has in the gaming world. Sometimes I feel like I am on another planet. Black female gamers are really the most unrecognized target group in the gaming world. Not by the gaming industry but by the black females themselves. I am proud to be a “lady gamer”, which is a term that I rather go under. Any girl or female gamer, but a lady gamer is totally different from those types of gamers. And I am here to teach and educate about that very thing. To be that voice for all ethnic, not just black women, lady gamers who have expressed to me on occasions that they hide their love for gaming because of the negative influences from friends and family.

People are right when they said that gaming sees no skin color, and that is true…sometimes. But, what happens when those “sometimes” come about? Why does everyone disregard them and then get angry when someone like me address them? We are all human, but there are also people, gamers and people who work in the gaming industry, you do see color. Sometimes they sneak it into gaming and actually think no one will notice it. They haven’t met me yet.

So, let me warn you now, I plan to speak about things that I see in gaming that some refuse to see, some that see and refuse to speak on, and some that see it, speak on it, and catch heat from it. It’s a dirty job, but I do it because it needs to be done. The argument “You are just looking for things that racially wrong” or “you are seeking to be offended” will not work here. My answer to that very thinking is this: Things like race in gaming, sexism in gaming wouldn’t be brought up by people like me if it was not there to begin with. So, I made this blog to speak candidly and openly about these issues. As gamers, we get enough heat from those who don’t understand our life styles as it is. So, we have to fight these issues head on. Now, this blog won’t completely focus on these issues. It will be a mix of randomness in my life, my love for gaming and all other things, and some here or there gaming reviews.

Should you find anything that you don’t agree with, come correct to me about it. But, know that this is my blog. I WILL speak my mind. Some of you may relate, some may not. But, respect is all I ask for. That is not much at all, right? I am not a common female, so don’t expect me to act as such. The over all message of this blog is to inspire, encourage, educate, and empower all gamers, male female, black, white, and all other races.

Ok, walked into Dollar General a while ago…and saw a game for $14 in there. It’s called “Beastly”. When I read the back of it, I had to buy it. It’s very much “Beauty And The Beast”. The boy is a shallow prince in Highschool. He’s nasty to this one girl who turns out to be a witch-like girl and turns the boy just as ugly on the outside as he is inside. He has ONE year to have someone fall inlove with him or else he will remain “beastly” forever.

I know there is a stigma about dollar store games no matter what console they are for. 8 times out of 10, the stigma is true. But, you never know when you will find GEMS in a dollar store. A gamer always keeps and open mind.

So, if you follow me on twitter, you’ll know that I said that I always thought Leon S. Kennedy is actually black on the inside with his mannerisms are and how suave he carries himself, right? LOL! And I said that Japan may NOT have meant for ole Leon to have such a huge black male following, but he does. For some reason, this song from Mary J. Blidge’s new album reminds me of Leon. It sounds like a 90’s jam and you KNOW how hard it is to find music like that today. Even from our legends like Mary. Give a listen if you have a taste for REAL rnb soul. This goes out to Leon S. Kennedy.

Never liked Pokemon. But, the new series Pokemon Black and White has the most beautiful black woman on there I have ever seen. Japan, you keep this up, and you just may graduate off my list of countries that can be very racially ignorant and insensitive sometimes.

Playing Skyrim At 5:43 am…

My po’ husband. Bless his heart. He and I, right now, are walking along a cobblestone road to our next destination, and an enemy catches my husband’s attention in the distance. So, my husband, Argis, runs over to handle the situation. I stop and noticed a dragon flying above us, which made me think that the dragon was what caught my husband’s eye. After a few minutes of spinning around in one place, it seemed that BIG ole dragon wasn’t a threat to us at all…it was something else. I turned to my husband to see what he was swinging his hammer at and do you believe…he was in the water, while losing his balance, trying to kill….a slaughterfish? =_____=* Sigh*…trying to remember why I even married this man.
