Short answer? Not a lot. I find myself in the post-epic lull that tends to happen to me after I’ve powered through a great big game <\/a>all the way through – I end up just being a bit frazzled. This has lasted longer than usual, possibly because I find myself in the odd position of having actually read a book. That sounds much more self-condescending that it ought to: what I mean is that I am terrible at finishing books – there’s a good 10-20 half-read titles populating the shelves here. This month however, I got through a whole one, from start to finish, but this may just have something to do with my new job (in a library).<\/p>\n

Why am I babbling about books? Because I’m trying to explain, as best I can, why I haven’t done much gaming this month. Or, at least, not much that I can bring new content to you with. There was some more Kinect<\/a> – my parents are better at the bowling game than I am – and some other little bits and pieces like a quick foray onto Team Fortress 2<\/strong><\/a> to craft weapons and hats.<\/p>\n

So, my apologies for the brevity of this post! What I did play was Portal 2<\/strong>, on the ‘Play Day’ that marked the one year anniversary of its release. I thought it’d be a good thing to write about, so I did a Google and it turned out we (BadRep) are the second result<\/a> when you search for “Portal 2 feminist”.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Look! There we are! Second in the results!<\/p><\/div>\n

I also had a gander at that top link and presented my counter-argument over on my own blog here<\/a>, which some of you who follow us on Twitter<\/a> might have already seen.<\/p>\n

I didn’t want to simply regurgitate what I’ve already written elsewhere all over BR, which is why this is such a short post, but if I may, I’ll show you what I’m excited for in the upcoming Gaming Future.<\/p>\n
