Episode 72 – Mazes and Monsters

Mazes and Monsters, Tom Hanks, Demotivator, Demotivational Poster

So back in the 80′s, before anyone here at To-Ag Studios had ever rolled up a character, delved into a dungeon, or put the beat down on some Monster Manual baddies, Dungeons & Dragons was getting a bad rap.  You grognards out there are sure to remember the public outcries of Satanism and devil-worship, but now-a-days, with gaming becoming a touch more mainstream, such reactions are slightly less common (at least we’d like to hope so).  However, we in the gaming community will always have the likes of Mazes and Monsters to contend with.  Join us this week as we discuss our viewing of this crap-tastic, gamer-tainting Tom Hanks extravaganza!  Dial in your sonar, stock up on your psyche meds, and prepare for the death of hope on a brand new episode of Monkey in the Cage!

What it Means to be a Geek Mom

Illustration from the book, “Geek Mom: Projects, Tips, and Adventures for Moms and Their 21st-Century Families” by Natania Barron, Kathy Ceceri, Corrina Lawson, and Jenny Williams.

I am going to drop some truth on you, dear readers.  I am tired.  I wear a lot of hats.  All of them are important to me and all of them require more time and energy than I normally have.  However, the most important hat of them all is that of “Mommy.”    As a full-time working mother, I often fear that I am not there enough time for my 20-month old son.  So, how do I make the most of my time with my toddler?  Well, that’s where being a geek comes into play.
