Hello Everyone. This is Regina from The Geek Embassy. If you’ve been a fan of the podcast for anytime you know we’ve gone through some changes in the past few years. We started out as the Game on Girl podcast and then expanded to become The Geek Embassy. Along with the expansion of the site much of our podcast content changed. The Geek Embassy looks at pop culture in a much broader and more topical way, talking about recently released TV shows and movies, books we find interesting, and a Pathfinder campaign written by one of our ambassadors. It’s great content, fun and engaging, but definitely different from where I started on my podcasting journey. What we haven’t done a lot of lately are interviews and honestly, I’ve been missing that part of podcasting. Really, it was talking about gender and gaming that got me started podcasting in the first place. So I’ve decided to bring Game on Girl back and to start hosting interviews again. In an effort to prioritize quality over quantity, and to maintain some of

As I hope you all know by now, I recently joined a new community of writers trying to get their books published: Inkshares. I jumped into a contest for the Nerdist for books about video games and found myself in a strange new land surrounded by strange new customs. Every heroine needs a guide as she begins her journey and Evan Graham was my guide. He introduced me to this strange land and introduced me to the powerful community could be made there.  About Tantalus Depths But this post isn't about me or my book, it's about Evan and his amazing novel, Tantalus Depths. This novel tells the story of Mary Ketch who is leading a survey mission deep into space.  The Diamelen’s survey mission to Tantalus 13 takes an unexpected turn when the entire planet turns out to be an ancient artificial structure. What lies in the heart of Tantalus? And why is the crew’s AI, SCARAB, willing to kill to keep its secret? Filled with adventure, exploration, tension among the crew, and dangerous artificial intelligence, this story

Greetings Geeks! Here is our latest hangout as a podcast episode. We had a great time hanging out and talking about recent movies, and TV shows, and our favorite geek couples. There are some pretty great offerings throughout the show. Let us know what you think in the comments! Keep an eye on this space. I can't give too much away right now but a lot of changes will be happening here at Game on Girl. That's why you haven't heard much from us recently... there is lots and lots of activity happening behind the scenes. I'll just say these are some BIG changes and ones we are all VERY excited about.  If you want to hear us talk a little bit more about what's happening, check out the latest episode of StudioFUBAR where Rhonda and I chat with Frank, Matt, and Pete about our plans and a bunch of other geeky stuff.  Until soon, geeks.  Regina & Rhonda, & Mark & Isabela & Ryan --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gameongirl/message

Hey Geeks,  My apologies that I am posting this episode so late. I was out of town for most of January and living with very limited DSL... the kind where it is impossible to stream anything or have two computers working online at once. I don't think I have ever been so frustrated in my entire life! So if you even have to guess, I am that person who turns into a monster when the internet is slow.  So I am just getting our January hangout posted as a podcast episode. We had a great time talking about our favorite geek moments from 2015 and we spent a great deal of time talking about Star Wars: The Force Awakens. There are spoilers galore and a pretty heated discussion (on my part!) about trolls who post spoilers on purpose. Some people suck! As always, we would love to hear from you about your favorite geek moments of 2015. What was a highlight? Our next hangout is scheduled for February 21st at 2pm Pacific. We would love to have you hang with us or send us topics you would like us to discuss.  As a teaser, loo

Hey Everyone,  Just in time for your U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, we have a new episode and a new hangout to share. For our November hangout, we reunited The Secret Geek Shame and talked about our favorite and not-so-favorite new and returning TV shows and games. Lots of time spent discussing the latest with The Big Bang Theory and Fallout 4. There was some discussion between Rhonda and Ryan about some sportsing events which adds a whole new level of gaming to Game on Girl.  As always, we love to hear from our viewers and fans. If you have a topic you would like us to discuss at our year end hangout on Sunday, December 27th at 2pm Pacific, let us know in the comments here. We all have some words we would like to share with 2015 (aside from the many Rhonda already shared here). Come hang as we drink a fond farewall to this heartwrenching year.  Until next time, game on!

Hey Everyone! We had a great time for our October hanging talking about all things undead. We talk about games, movies, TV shows, fast versus slow zombies, and if one of the most famous science fiction creatures is really a zombies. We also chat a bit about whether zombies have had their day and are on the way out. If you haven't read Rhonda's article about that, check it out.  Our next LIVE Hangout will be Sunday, November 15 at 2pm Pacific. We're looking for topic suggestions. Let us know if you have a topic you would like us to tackle.  Until next time, get your zombie on! Regina --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gameongirl/message

In this month's hangout, we took on the theme of our favorite Geekdoms. What is a geekdom, you say? Well, Rhonda asked the same question and I described it as: Geekdom: A specific subset of a fandom you enjoy. So I enjoy young adult literature and Harry Potter is one of my Geekdoms within that fandom. It is a geekdombecause I can geek out on all the minor details of the story and the lore, I know and have an opinion on the major arguments between the fans, and I jump at any chance to discuss it.  Watch or listen to the episode to find out mine, Rhonda's, and Isabela's top three favorite geekdoms. I'll give you a hint: some are obvious and others quite surprising. (Rhonda's last one is my favorite!) What are some of your favorite geekdoms? Where do you put your mose intense geeky energy? Let us know in the comments and we will share your geekdoms during our September hangout! Until next time, get your geekdom on!
