    Alienware X51 event – 3D model of yours truly by NVIDIA

    If you remember, I attended the launch party of the Alienware X51 gaming PC. In between getting abused at the Street Fighter tournament and playing on shiny new boxes, I took a break to have my face scanned by NVIDIA. A 3D wireframe was generated based on this facial scan to construct models, using 3D [...]

    Alienware European launch – X51

    Alienware have been busy and Girlygeekdom had the privilege of being invited to the European launch of their new magical box, the X51. Upon first look, it reminds me of the XBox 360 S console with the almost monolithic yet sleek lines. However, this does not mean the insides are meager. On the contrary, it [...]

    I hijacked the PS3 at Mind Candy – LGGD 6th Anniversary

    It was that time again, another birthday for London Girl Geek Dinners and this time Mind Candy kindly hosted the event. Since the lovely Judith Lewis was the organiser, chocolate was involved. A lot, of, chocolate. Monty Bojangles was the highlight with some truffle action and a giant chocolate cake which I never actually got [...]

    Women gamers. An untapped market, or is it?

A quick gander on Steam gives me a miriad of games, such as Team Fortress 2, Portal 2, Civilization [...]

    Alienware Gaming Night… shiny new laptops!

    I was invited along to an Alienware event, promoting their new range of gaming laptops. Without even touching one of these yet, I knew they were going to be awesome. You cannot avoid the flashing neon lights and the distinct shape of the chassis. Each one looks the business. The hardware inside is nothing to [...]
