(Belatedly) Introducing Scarlet Pirate!

| I sense danger |
Yaaaaa so this post is about two weeks late. Better late than never, right? Besides, I’m sure you’re more interested in the actual news. My shy quiet meek daily identity is Emily, but I prefer my alter ego, Scarlet Pirate. Emily works a boring desk job; Scarlet Pirate dresses like a whore and dances on poles. But not for money…except that one time….

| Alter egos have more fun. |
I have been gaming for like, ever. I was born the same year as the Nintendo and I can’t think of any point my life we didn’t have a console. I wasn’t very good at the twitchy games, but I really got addicted when I started playing RPGs. Shadowrun on the Genesis is the first game I really remember playing and loving; my husband played the opening midi music for it, and I knew what it was immediately without looking. And for the record, there are NO other Shadowrun video games, and if you dare speak blasphemy in my presence, prepareth to be slappeth’d.
I also remember logging in hours and hours on Link’s Awakening on the original Gameboy. Nasty, green screen, shaped-like-a-brick Gameboy. To this day I can still recite, purely from memory, the “side quest” items needed to complete the game. First you get the Yoshi doll from the crane machine, and when you give it to the baby you get a hair bow….

I currently have a DS, XBOX 360, PSP, PS2, and a Wii, plus a lot of the older consoles stored away. I’m currently addicted to Dragon Quest IX if you haven’t noticed, along with Red Dead Redemption on the XBOX and I’m debating playing Persona on the PSP.
I’m currently looking forward to Fallout: New Vegas (though I know Badfish isn’t impressed that Felicia Day is in it), and Diablo III, if it actually comes out this year. I also want Dead Rising 2 and I hope this time I can read the text. I even had a wide screen TV, and it still sucked. It was ridiculous. Oh and Fable III. Bring on the pie.

I have my own blog about British Television at Queen’s Forgotten Children but I’ve focused on helping Badfish over here so I don’t post often (not like I did before anyway). You can follow me on Twitter under BritsAndBobs and if you really like me, you can catch me on Facebook. My husband and I also share an Etsy Shop and we’re currently stocking up on some geeky goodies.
Thank you all for following Gamer Grrlz; I hope we can put a stop to the stupid assumption that girls don’t game. Or at least make nasty, snide remarks along the way!
