Saw over at Massively.com that a place called the Virtual Worlds Observatory has a new study about the "perceptions of gender in online games and the reality behind it."

"Utilizing EverQuest II, the study uses a sample size of over 7,000 players to measure player interactions along gender lines and learn more about the gamers behind the keyboards. Surprisingly enough, while males exhibited predicted aggressiveness and achievement-oriented gameplay, it was the female gamers that exhibited more "hardcore" behavior. The top 10% of male gamers only played an average of 48 hours a week, while the top 10% of female gamers played an average of 56 hours a week. Yet, during the study, females under-reported their playing habits more than male gamers, as if unconsciously reacting to a stereotype."

Here's the study (Note: this is a PDF file).

For me, one of the downsides to being sick is that after a few days all the meds I take make me crash so then i'm EARLY the next day. Last night was one of them nights.

In other news, Hulu has some Mystery Science Theater 3000 eps up!! *me does happy dance*

Of note to my fellow steampunkers, NPR had a show about scientist actually building a couple of version's of Charles Babbage's Difference Engine. Here's a video about it. Pretty cool!

Baby Hedgehog! OMG SO CUTE! Speaking of photography, here's a site with some cool pics, Andrew Brooks Photography. And here's a really cool picture of lightening!

Just playing around on Google Wave and I love it! I've even started RPGing with someone on it and I've not RPG'd in YEARS!!!

I think it'll be great, fandom wise, for:

1. RPGs
2. Collaborating on fanworks
3. Realtime fandom get togethers.
4. WANK! :D

What do y'all think?

Gasoline Days by Josei Asakura - X-Factor (Age of Apocalypse AU) Rictor/Shatterstar rating: R

Summary: Even now, in this place they'd called home for so long, that's how it always began - tentative, never quite certain, even though it always ended up the same way.

Yesterday was one of the best holiday's I've had in years. The boys were relatively well behaved, the food was yummy, and I hosted at LOD for the entire 4 hours they were open. *boogies*

I didn't say it yesterday, but I'm thankful for my family and friends who make my life a good place to be. <3's everyone!
