Whatcha doin', Freak Girl?"

"What does it look like, brainiac?" I shot back, even surprising myself with the force of my jab. "I'll give you three guesses. No, wait. Don't strain yourself. Wouldn't want to hurt your head." I waved a flyer in his face, channeling my inner mean girl. "See these? I'm hanging them...on a...wall!" I spoke the last part slowly, as if addressing a dim-witted child. Which wasn't far off the mark, now that I thought about it. "With tape," I added, waving at the dispenser. "You know-sticky, sticky!

Anyway, I'm sure the guy lives a million miles away."
"Or he could live right in your backyard. You never know."
I nodded, keeping a poker face, even though the idea of Sir Leo living in my backyard was extremely appealing.

I donβt think male gamers are more or less sexist than non-gamers. Sexism is unfortunately still a large problem in our culture overall. It is not unique to gaming. Have a pretty girl walk by a construction site in a mini-skirt and youβll see that. For anyone to imply that male gamers are somehow inherently more sexist than the rest of society smacks of insincerity or naivetΓ©.

It's like being in love with the wind. I can't hold you, but I can always feel you. You carry me to places I've never seen, you make me feel things I just shouldn't feel.

I will never tear you down just to build myself up. I won't ever make you feel bad just so I can control you. Baby, it's ok to be right, to be wrong, and everything in between. Just be you.

I donβt know," she said. "Iβm not sure you would like me in real life. Iβm a lot different there, you know. I donβt even look the same."
" I donβt care if you look like a troll with warts," Sir Leo declared, taking her hand in his. "I love you.

Ah, but Sadie Green was a gamer! In a game, if a sign warns you not to open a certain door, you will definitely open that door. If it doesn't work out, you can always go back to the save point and start again.

That was why he and Dez were different. They knew the rules were a lie. He was scared to be alone; she was scared to be with people. He felt like he'd fade away if he wasn't touched; she felt like she'd be smothered out of existence if she was. He'd wanted so badly to die and make all the pain end; she still did. Everyone knew pain, but some lived closer to it than others.

Teachers donβt always know when theyβve lit the torch paper. But MacGhiolla knew. He knew heβd entered Virgil Swainβs imagination and held up a flame when he told him of a boy who fell in love with a girl called Emer who said he could not have her unless he completed Impossible Tasks. The boy was sent to study warcraft in Scotland under the tutelage of the female warrior Scathach-the-Shadow. Scathach-the-Shadow was about twenty centuries ahead of Marvel Comics. Gaming was in the early development stages back then. One in every two gamers died. Being Scottish and a warrior meant that Scathach was ferociousness itself. She didnβt have a Console, she had a hawk with talons. The boy was sent to her to learn how to achieve the impossible, and when he did, when Scathach had brought him up through all the Levels, showed him all the Cheats, and listed him on the Roll of Honour as All-Time Number-One Player, he came back and entered the fortress where Emer was guarded. He entered it by going upriver against the current. The method he used was salmon-leaps. Not kidding.

Everyone knows pain. We are not meant to carry it forever. We were never meant to hold it so closely, so be certain in the belief that what pain belongs to now will belong soon to then. That when someone asks you, "how was your day," realize that for some of us β it's the only way we know how to say, "Be calm. Loosen your grip, opening each palm, slowly now β let go.

And you're quite sure about this video game thing?" Jay looked and sounded skeptical. "She is a princess."
Sylvie snorted. "So her personal hobbies ought to be---what? Practicing ribbon-cutting? Swanning around St. Giles unveiling makeshift plaques? The girl walks her pit bull in a Metallica T-shirt, and showed up to the Easter service at the Abbey wearing a skull necklace. Gamer princess seems entirely on brand.

More than a whole month had passed since Iβd changed worlds. My bear costume had become famous around town. It was kind of scary how quickly Iβd gotten used to it. I no longer felt embarrassed. βBear girl.β βMs. Bear.β βLittle cub.β βThe Bloody Bear.β Though there were many names people used, they all referred to me. I still couldnβt butcher a kill, but Iβd gotten used to defeating monsters. The gamer life had prepared me well. Iβd met Fina, and there were tons of interesting things about this world, too. Though I hadnβt gotten a letter or message from the god/admin/whatever it was since that first day, I was grateful theyβd brought me here.
