Shadow and Bone is the latest YA high fantasy show taking Netflix by storm. We're joined by Grishaverse addict Vicky Brewster to talk about what we loved - and didn't so much love - from our first foray into this universe. About Vicky Brewster Vicky Brewster is a freelance editor, founder of Books Outside the Box (a spooky and speculative book subscription service), founder of The Writing Haunt horror writing retreat, and a PhD student. She's wearing lots of fantastical hats and it's awesome! Based on the books by Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone season one is out now on Netflix. If you haven't seen Shadow and Bone or read the books and are wary of spoilers: HERE IS YOUR SPOILER WARNING. This episode is NOT spoiler free! We talk about what we love about the show (mainly our love of Jesper and Inej) and what we don't love so much - too much -yawn- lovey dovey stuff! Vicky is our pocket expert into all things Grisha and we're so grateful for her guiding us through this episode and answering all our burning questions. It's great to have an expert on the team! ;) Here's Thom (from Three Extra Lives) take on the whole show - it basically sums it up! I really enjoyed how this show started - the fold and the mystery behind, how it's been used for political gain however we never really get to learn much about it. There feels like a lot of forced romance, (like the witch and the fedyor being an big example) Like how the f are you in love after one episode, and the story overall is very predictable, however I really like the cast and still very much intrigued about the story. I'm at such a dilemma with this show because I don't think I could recommend it to anyone, however at the same time I'll be excited to check out season 2 to see if they get to flesh this world out some more! Thanks, Thom, for putting into words how we feel about this show. WE NEED MORE STORY! Bring on Season 2 for the continuation and all the other awesome stuff.

Geek Girl in the News looks at the awesome or not so awesome news that will make you go either: "YAY" or "OMG I can't believe that." The latest and greatest geek girl news from September 2020 covers the sad passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Trump's awful nomination to the Supreme Court, the NFL making HERstory, Mike Morhaime's new company: Dreamhaven, WandaVision, American Girl's latest doll, and saying so long to the Nintendo 3DS. While Monika's off celebrating 10 years with her Weirdo, Thom from Three Extra Lives joins us to talk about this month's news that matters. We start this month's episode by recognising and celebrating the incomparable Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg who sadly passed away mid September. This is a tragic loss of a woman who has done more for women's rights than anyone else, ever. Her death is a blow to a nation in crisis, but we honour her the only way we know how. May her memory be a revolution. Even in death, the Notorious RBG is making waves! She is not only the first woman, but the first Jewish person, to be lain in State. This is an honoured given to at least 30 men since the practice began in the 1800s. Justice Ginsburg - thank you for your service. Thank you for your power. May you rest in power. We will fight in your memory. And the fight's just getting started. President Donald Trump has already nominated the SCOTUS replacement. Amy Coney Barrett is pretty well set up to take RBG's place, a move that, if successful, will have a devastating impact on America, women, and human rights across the country. Coney Barrett is anti-women, anti-lgbt rights, anti-abortion, pro-gun, pro-life (whatever that means to these Conservatives), and - oh. She's basically a member of a cult that has a position called HANDMAIDEN. Not only is this nomination straight up evil (according to Amanda's mum - "that woman's got evil in her eyes" - so we know it's true), it's unprecented... based on a precedent the Republican party set about 7 months before the end of Obama's presidential run. Hello pot? Kettle calling. Oh, and let's not forget your Geek Herring Call to Action: VOTE. Vote like your damn life depends on it!!! But let's move on to some happier stories! The NFL made HERstory in September by having three female officials on the field at the same time. Both the Washington Football Team and the Cleveland Browns had female coaches and there was a female ref on the field. This is a fantastic and long overdue - a big excitement for the future of American Football! This month also sees former Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime's announcement of his new game development company, Dreamhaven. Um, excuse me while we fangirl all over the place, here. The announcement brings with it some BIG questions about the future of game development and we are HERE for it! We also talk about the teaser trailer released for Marvel's upcoming WandaVision. DAAAAAAAMN this looks good. No set release date that we can see, but holy hell it feels good to talk about some MCU news again! Getting into nostalgic toys era now. Can you EVEN with the new American Girl doll!? Courtney is an 80's gamer girl through and fucking THROUGH. She comes with a Pac-Man arcade machine that actually works, all the neon you would ever want, and a Care Bears nightie. Her story describes her as the best gamer in the arcade (natch) and she decides to change how women are portrayed in game by learning to code. Oh - and profits from Courtney's sale go to Girls Who Code. You in? Obvs. Finally, we're saying so long, farewell to the Nintendo 3DS. It's been a long and favourable run, but we don our caps and see you off. Thanks for the fun and games! What do YOU think about these news stories? We'd love your take!

In the very first episode of WoW, It's Marty I am taking a quick look backwards to the expansion we are about to finish up. What was great, what wasn't, and what could be better? To help me with this I invited Thom from Three Extra Lives to join in with some opionions. The Dragon Powered Studio community also helped out with a few comments here and there. Next week I'll be talking about the Afterlives cinematics. So that's your chance to be on the show. Record yourself and send it to me and YOU can be part of the show.

Last Of Us as an HBO TV-series (By the creator of Chernobyl) The perfect cast? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ESbxCemWsAApSY7.jpg *E3 Canceled * https://www.e3expo.com/ Indie Games! - Were you into Indie games before the podcast? What are some games that you feel would have been overlooked if you hadn’t been doing Three Extra Lives. I’d say overlooked games would fall more under F2P games I’ve scoured out. I spend a lot of time looking for new F2P but also searching back over the years. You’d be surprised what you can find that bring you many hours of enjoyment. “Most” of what I play is dominated by Three Extra Lives, and there’s so much out there, we are spoiled for choice.

Geek Herring discusses a politically hot topic this week, giving an overview and our insights into Hearthstone streamer, Blitzchung's statement during the GrandMasters about the Hong Kong protests. Blizzard had made what seemed like a snap decision to delete the entire VOD of the stream, remove Blitzchung from the GrandMasters, revoke his prize money, and ban both him and the two casters from Blizzard eSports for a year. We're joined by Thom from Three Extra Lives (https://threeextralives.com) and Jonathan from all sorts of podcasts (https://frazley.com), two people we love and respect in the Blizzard content creation community. Together, we're taking an objective look at this whole situation - right from the start. What's actually happening in Hong Kong? What did Blitzchung actually say? Blizzard Entertainment did what!? The community backlash that shook the video game world What Blizzard did to remedy the situation How this relates to cancel culture And lots more! While we do go into what's going on in this situation in brief detail, this episode of Geek Herring mainly revolves around our thoughts, opinions, and how we can all move forward in this new era of partial censorship.

Geek Girl in the News looks at the awesome or not so awesome news that will make you go either: "YAY" or "OMG I can't believe that." The latest and greatest geek girl news from August 2019 covers breastfeeding on Twitch, the newest female Hearthstone pros, banned commercials promoting gender stereotypes, inspirational women in TV STEM careers, teaching girls to code, and some awesome pop culture news! We get a bit heated over some of these articles today. Like, why is breastfeeding one of the most natural things in the world, not sexual, legal to do in public in most of the world, and totally okay on social platforms such as Instagram... yet it's sparking debate on Twitch? We mean, if a woman can get bits for eating a burger on stream, why can't another woman feed her hungry child? It doesn't make sense! And have you seen the recently banned from UK TV adverts? Both Volkswagen and Philadelphia (yes, the creators of the infamous chocolate cream cheese) have had their latest tv ads banned by the Advertising Standards Agency for promoting gender stereotypes. You might think one or both of these ads are funny - and while, yeah, they might be - they're also harmful to progress. And not just for women, these stereotypes are bad for men, too. What’s your take on these news articles? In this episode of Geek Girl in the News, we covered these news stories: Streamer Sparks Debate Over Whether Twitch Should Allow Breastfeeding (https://kotaku.com/streamer-sparks-debate-over-whether-twitch-should-allow-1836799257) THE NEW SUPERSTARS OF CHINESE HEARTHSTONE (https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/hearthstone/23079596/the-new-superstars-of-chinese-hearthstone) First ads banned for contravening UK gender stereotyping rules (https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/aug/14/first-ads-banned-for-contravening-gender-stereotyping-rules) VW Golf and Philadelphia Adverts Banned For Promoting 'Harmful' Gender Stereotypes (https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/women/adverts-banned-volkswagen-car-philadelphia-cheese-advertising-standard-authority-gender-stereotypes-a9055561.html) The VW eGolf Commercial (https://youtu.be/JyaHzY-8AD4) The Scully Effect and the Feminist Future of STEM (https://msmagazine.com/2019/08/09/does-stem-matter-in-summer/) How a summer camp is bringing young women into the game industry (https://www.polygon.com/2019/8/23/20811323/girls-make-games-summer-camp-women-game-industry) Check out Girls Game Lab on Twitter (https://twitter.com/GirlsGameLab) This Fall, We’re Getting A Brand-New “Nancy Drew” (https://bust.com/tv/196310-nancy-drew-the-cw-preview.html) It’s Official: ‘The Matrix 4’ is Coming and Will Reunite Keanu Reeves, Director Lana Wachowski (https://themindunleashed.com/2019/08/the-matrix-4-is-coming-keanu-reeves.html?)

I was talking with Thom of Three Extra Lives about Twitch streaming. We both want to do more but we can't always find the time.Streaming is a side-thing for me. My podcasts always take priority. If I have to not stream to edit a podcast, I do that. It got me thinking about what my priorities are. What takes precedence.I won't be a top-streamer and that's OK. I'll stream when I can and have fun doing it (I've had some fun streams!). Podcasting is my priority. What's yours?This is the blog portion of The Awesome Gnome Letter.

Representation matters. In careers, media, and now, more than ever, video games! 2019 has been bringing us a whole amazing host of different character types: LGBTQ+, race, ability, size, and more! In this episode of Geek Herring, we're celebrating the diversity and representation that's growing in video games, starting with new character revelations from earlier this year and ending with some of the reveals at 2019's E3. It's about damn time we had more variety and choice of characters to play in video games. People who look like us, act like us, are like us.

Female game developers are an important part of the game industry! Women have an active and substantial role in not just indie games, but AAA titles as well, including some extremely well-known games. We're joined by Thom Knight from Three Extra Lives to take in some trivia before chatting about women in game dev. First things first, as Thom is a trivia and indie game buff, he sets hosts Monika and Amanda a tough challenge. Do we know our female video game characters? The answer may surprise you! Or.... maybe it won't. We'll see! Thom is the first male viewpoint coming on Geek Herring and is a feminist. He's keen to share his voice and thoughts on what he perceives to be the issues facing female game developers. He also talks about some of his favourite women in game development and the games they've created! In this episode, we talked about: 9 Kick-Ass Women in Game Dev (https://blackshellmedia.com/2017/11/15/9-kick-ass-women-game-dev/) Charlotte Sutherland and Lord Winklebottom (https://twitter.com/charlottiels) Kim Swift (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Swift) Rhianna Pratchett (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhianna_Pratchett) Kellee Santiago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kellee_Santiago) Humble Bundle (https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly?refc=AIBXXa) What's your favourite women led video game?
