Another backlog post in the interest of catching up! This acquisition is Borderlands: The Handsome Collection for PS4. This one is a unique category – not quite a purchase of a gift – its my copy that I got from work for having worked on it. Come to think of it, I think I didn’t…

Video Game Visibility Project: Life is Strange
I forgot Life is Strange Episode 1 was coming out. So right when I was feeling confident in my lack of need for new games.. I pretty much had to buy it. I wanted to play it before I heard much chatter about it, and I could tell chatter was already starting. So I…
Video Game Visibility Project: Carpe Fulgur Collection on Steam Sale
Well, Steam sales got me again. I’m dispensing with the format that I had been using for these, because I’ve found that in many cases, it doesn’t cause me to reveal anything interesting. And its poorly adapted to gifts, ect. So. I bought the Carpe Fulgur collection because it was on sale, and it…
Video Game Visibility Project: I spent money in a mobile game
I’m way behind on this project, as I’ve got to cover Christmas still, and have a few decisions to make about when and if I count gifts/freebies related to my job. (If you are new to my blog/don’t know, I’m Marketing Producer at a game studio.) But, I’ve realized there was one purchase I made without…
Video Game Visibility Project: PC Parts
What: Motherboard – MSI X99S SLI Plus, Processor- Intel i7 5820K, RAM – Crucial DDR4 4GBx2, CPU cooler- Coolermaster Hyper 212 Why I bought: My PC was weeping for upgrades. This is actually a partial upgrade; after the holidays I’m getting more RAM, new hard drives, ect. The exact build was determined by a very…
PlayDiary: FFX and a New Lease on Yuna
I’ve been playing Final Fantasy X lately, on Vita, slowly, in intermittent pieces, mostly on planes. In between the waves of “holy shit this looks so good!”, I’ve been surprised by how unfamiliar and outside my expectation the characters are. I didn’t play FFX in its era, but I did watch Thom play quite a…
Video Game Visibility Project – Quakecon Headset, Received as Gift
Here’s the first “received as gift” edition of the Video Game Visibility Project: a Quakecon 2014 headset. This year was the first Quakecon I’ve missed since 2009 (We had bought Forecastle Festival tickets before Qcon dates were announced, and they were the same dates) so a friend picked this up for me. This is actually…

Video Game Visibility Project – Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remaster on PS Vita – Purchasing Gamer Girl Power
This year on my (30th) birthday, I promised myself that I would post a picture of myself with every gaming related purchase I make this year, along with a few details. The point is to be a visible customer to anyone who cares to see the varied face of game consumers, and also to satisfy…
Video Game Visibility Project: Pixel Creature Hats
I’m in Louisville for Forecastle Festival right now, but before I make myself a liar, I need to make a post on these video game related hats I got at Screwattack Gaming Convention. To be clear, this is something I tried to buy, but Alec of Freaks and Geeks wouldn’t take the money. So here’s…
Purchasing Gamer Girl Power – or – Video Game Visibility Project
Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 30. And here is a picture of me buying a Playstation Plus card. (Or rather, bringing it home.) I’m not much for New Years resolutions. And also I failed out of the 365 Project a month in. But yesterday I made a birthday resolution. For the next…
