Hello, I am addicted to video games.

I love video games. And I am a woman. I almost said girl, but I'm turning 25 this year, which is even sadder that I love video games.

Yes, I know it's 2010 and women video gamers are not as rare as they were, but I still feel like a weirdo most of the time I try to share my interests with people. Either they look at me as a sad, lonely person or some kind of tech nerd. I'm not the most social person in the world, but far from sad and lonely (I'm engaged to a wonderful man and I have several close friends). And I'm certainly no tech geek - I can barely work a remote control.

Not a single female friend I have plays video games, at least not to the degree I do, and not with the history I have with games. I don't think I knew any girls in high school who would rather spend an evening zerg-rushing a terran outpost than go out to a movie with her boyfriend. I didn't know any girls who had 4 different emulators (how else would I play the classics?). I didn't know any girls who got up at 6am on Saturdays to fit more Final Fantasy into her schedule.

My latest addiction is World of Warcraft. Again I find myself in the minority. My guild members are mostly teenage boys (the uproar when they found out I was a girl!). I enjoy this game so much and I spend a large chunk of my time playing it. And all I wish for is someone to share this experience with (my fiance plays too, but not with half the enthusiasm I have).

Alas, that is the point of this blog. It is an outlet for my passion for video games. Mainly for WoW, but for all of the many video games I love, both past and present. When something cool/funny/unbelievable happens to me on WoW, I'll tell about it on this blog.

So here I am, fellow internet users. I'm addicted to video games, and I have boobs. Judge me if you dare!
