Women, Race and Sexuality in Video Games #Gamergate #Equality #Diversity

Packy - Head Llama

As I finished the last chapter of the excellent episodic video game series: Life is Strange, it occurred to me that not nearly enough games portrayed the themes of individuality, choice, slice of life and sexuality with much maturity and/or gravitas. Certainly there are numerous high profile video games that attempt to tackle these themes, but mostly as an afterthought or even worse as merely a plot device for the villain to exploit at some point in the game. As a gamer that is now pushing 40 years of age, I…

From the Journal of Gwendolyn Parker: Private Investigator #OriginalFiction

Packy - Head Llama

***Brief Intro from the author. As I was getting ready for NaNoWriMo, I had 2 ideas that I had been bandying about for NaNoWriMo. Then, out of the blue I had an idea to write a P.I. story, about a secret society and other such shenanigans.

I may need another week or so, but rest assured the new web comic will be ready very soon. Today we have the update to the character Dr. Love Groove, initially conceived of as an impish sort of character, he’s been remade to be a modern millennial vampire. Kind of an Eddie…

Road to Nerfed Llamas 2 – the Biwwie Goat #nerfedllamas

Packy - Head Llama

Way back in the ancient era known as 2012, I began work on revamping an idea I had for a web comic. Putting pencil to paper, I created the foundation for what would ultimately become the identity of my website as well as a darn good reason to activate my creative side for the first time in a good long while. Nerfed Llamas, the web comic, at it’s core was designed to exemplify the best and worst of nerd culture. Every comic strip needs a concept, and above and beyond…
