I haven't been on here for a while... any OG GB members here still? Was watching some mail bag vids, then ended up watching some R...

I believe you know why I'm here

 

So, here I am, finally a part of the Giant Bomb Community. No need to stand, i'm flattered but, it's not necessary – I’ve made a forum for that. So...

Anyway, as you may or may not have noticed, I am in fact, a girl.

Meaning of course, amongst other things that I am genetically predisposed to suffer a less than slight incapacity to appreciate the general awesomeness of all things mechanical, technical and generally giant robot orientated - because let’s face it, with evolution as my witness, pursuits in video and computer games really haven’t been women's greatest ambition....

Accordingly, one concession I feel compelled to make clear for both my gender in general, and to the (startlingly low probability) that there are any other girls out there reading this video game community blog - is simply this;

I think it’s important for women to be involved in this industry, not for any silly feminist reason, but because we need to get to work at breeding a super master race of intelligent video game children (being future proofed sci-fi babies raised on a healthy diet of TNG, Mass Effect and Frank Herbert novels) that of course, cannot be created without the aid of game loving ladies such as my good self.  

But of course, girls are a strikingly under-represented part of the Gaming community in general , so perhaps one day one of us will make the ranks of being a member of the giant bomb team... I could serve coffee, run errands and slowly build up my reputation in true Michael J. Fox circa 'The Secret of My Success' fashion until one day the next Quick Look will be starring a lovely bit of female accompaniment.

Anyway, that’s it for now. For now that is. I hear there’s some nonsense regarding Infinity Ward and the coming of the four horsemen that requires my immediate opinionated narrative...  

Until then,

Live long and prosper

Hey there,
 
I somehow stumbled in here after seeing a thread on the forums you posted, out of an idle curiosity as to whether or not your username was somehow related to a friend of mine's -- Pepsiman. I've come to the conclusion that, no, there is no relation, and you're related to another member of the community who happens to sport Pepsi in their name. Dun dun dunnnnn! The cola is taking over the forums, we're all doomed!
 
In any event, I figured if I was going to snoop through someone's profile page I'd at least say hello and read some blogs. Your sarcastic sense of humor is great, it made me lol more than once, so I'm looking forward to seeing more of it grace our forums. Oh and (belated) welcome to Giant Bomb!

I saw The Secret of My Success; good movie.  So how'd you find Giant Bomb?  I found it by googling for video game forums.

@insouciant:  Hey sorry, i just realized I never actaully responded to your comment. i used to really like Gamespot when Jeff Gerstmann was the editor, and i used to just use my boyfriends account on this site, but decided to finally make my own account only the other week!

 Symphony, 
 
It would seem you are part of a rare order, whose astute observations and logical deductions enable you to not only reach sound conclusions, but also render them in a charming and amusing fashion... Well played - It seems you have left  us with no choice but to find you a place in our post-apocalyptic cola wasteland... 
 
Speaking of post-apocalyptic cola wastelands, my boyfriend is none other than, pepsicolaboy; and  while it may seem my name was derived from his for cutesy-pie-lovey-dovey reasons, it was actually a result of pure, unadulterated laziness. And besides, Supa_Hot_Chick_69 was already taken so...
 
Anyway, thanks for 'hello and welcome', it is a kind gesture that I greatly appreciate.
 
And in recognition of said gesture,  feel free to unknowlingly stumble across, and then snoop through, my page any time. 
 
:)
