The Crying Game[s]

Greetings, single people!

So we all have those times when someone rips your heart out of your chest, sticks a fork in it and declares it to be done. The classic response is to get a pint of Haagen Daaz [Oh, who am I kidding. Several gallons of Haagen Daaz.], curl up with "The Notebook" and complain to everyone that will listen for the following three months about how your life is over. But if you're like me, you have "comfort foods" that require a console and controller. [No, not power tools...put those away! Your buzz saw wont bring him back!....unless....]

Here are three of my favorite games to nurse you through a break-up with your snuggle-buddy...from the end of your epic fairy tale romance, to a nasty break-up with that fuckface, to your Mr Muffin moving far away for a [admittedly fantastic and certainly well-deserved] job promotion. Chin up, you. Somewhere, there's a princess in another castle....so to speak.

Click the jump to feel better about your lonely life!

A brief introduction...

Ahoy there!

My name is Lulu, I
'm another contributor to the budding 8-bit Runway blog! The pseudonym "Lulu," by the by, comes from my favorite installment of the Final Fantasy series...and I'm pretty sure that I'm alone in that particular preference.

[I don't look like this.]

As Felix was discussing in one of her earlier posts, being a geek girl can mean a lot of different things. Maybe you're way into video games (hours spent indoors playing the N64 have left me with a milky white complexion. Thanks, Nintendo!). Maybe you're obsessed with something a little outside of the ordinary (I don't think my cockroach farm is weird at all). Maybe you're just a nerd by the very classical definition, a la Revenge of the Nerds.

Whichever you are, ladies, this blog is meant to pertain to the geeky girls out there! I look forward to contributing here, with upcoming articles about nerdy style icons, geek girls in movies and other terrifying things found in the dark corners of the internet. Much more to come, but for now, I leave you with this:
