GamerGate tends to be a controversial topic so I’d like to remind you all that my articles do not reflect the views of the entire GeeksWithWives staff. If you do not like them, take it up with me in the comments, Twitter, or e-mail but do not hold the entire website accountable. GeeksWithWives should be commended… Continue reading Experiencing GamerGate from All Sides
Author: Piper Steed
Born in Texas, raised in Louisiana, and currently dwelling in Ohio.
My father's side of the family is comprised of gaming and science geeks, sprinkled with a passion for comics and crappy B sci-fi and horror flicks.
Mother's side is chock full of artist, such as actors, writers, and a famous painter even!
Plus, sci-fi fandom galore!
Thus...I never had a chance of NOT being an ultrageek, and I'm happy with that.
I'm currently an engaged mom, Visual Communications student, Cosplaye, a Mary Kay Senior Independent Beauty Consultant who recently became an Advanced Color Consultant as well. Also a partner and lead designer for Outside The Box. (check us out @outsideboxcast) I have a hand in a few random projects right now, with my ultimate goal being to one day have my own webcomic. Yay.
Feminism and Comics
Before I get into the topic itself let me tell you a few things about me. I am, in fact, female. I never thought I’d have to prove this. My mother tried to raise me in a way where I was not allowed to play with anything she deemed to be “for boys”. I had… Continue reading Feminism and Comics
Evolve: Blatant Money Grab
“From the makers of Left 4 Dead!” they keep reminding us, and at first that fact had me excited. If you read an earlier article of mine about the decline of couch co-op, then you already know one huge reason I am disappointed with this game. My theory on the decline was validated when I… Continue reading Evolve: Blatant Money Grab
The “First Console” Experience
Technically the first console I got my hands on was an Atari, can’t remember which one. Playing on other peoples’ consoles just isn’t the same as that feeling you get when you finally have one of your own, though. Do you remember what it was like when you got your first one? Was it a… Continue reading The “First Console” Experience
Piper’s Best Of 2014 List
Wow, what a year! I think. I can’t remember the first half of it, but I’m pretty sure I got a gym membership I haven’t used. Tooootally gonna get on that in 2015 though. Anyway, while I’ve only been with GWW for the second half, this entire year has been a great year for geek-kind.… Continue reading Piper’s Best Of 2014 List
Consoles: Temporary Toys
The Shortened Lifespan of Video Game Consoles Well, I finally have a break from class, huzzah! While stressing over finals and such my one driving thought was that once it’s finished I can finally get back to the stack of games I was in the middle of. Games like South Park Stick of Truth and… Continue reading Consoles: Temporary Toys
Game Companion: A Review of a Movie that Caught Me Off Guard
I’ve played a few tag-team fighting games in my life, and I like the extra tactics they introduce to your typical matches. If done right, different characters will affect teammates in different ways depending on their relationships in the game’s story. So how do you choose your NPC partner? Do you choose based on stats?… Continue reading Game Companion: A Review of a Movie that Caught Me Off Guard
