Girl_Gamer The gaming world has seen a lot of exciting new releases over the last couple of months. I've been avoiding the mainstream games for my reviews (with the exception of my Skyrim review) because I wanted to branch out into quirky, eclectic games that not everyone has seen.

Xena the Warrior PrincessDear Diary,
A few days ago, I awoke in a strange town, after being spirited away in the night by fairies. Ha! Ha! Okay, Diary, you caught me -- what really happened was that I got drunk and fell asleep in the back of a wagon full of chickens.

PinCushion During my Kirk vs. Picard article, I made a statement about breasts not being magical. Many of our straight male readers, being the Breast-Defenders they are, contacted me right away to explain how wrong I was. They were emphatic and persistent and eloquent. Surprisingly enough, it put men and the topic of breasts together in close quarters and yet it did not reduce any of these men to gibbering, drooling, cat-calling simpletons. Breasts, they said, are totally magical. And a few of them repeatedly demanded that I retract my statement.
