On YouTube: Let’s Play Rule of Rose // Full Playlist

April 22, 2020April 7, 2020by Megan Marie // A Geeky Gal3 Comments

My playlist on YouTube for Rule of Rose is finally complete! I’m excited to share the entire Let’s Play with you. I had so many issues with this Let’s Play, BUT your girl got through it. During the playthrough, I upgraded from my Corsair headset mic to a Snowball microphone and got a new webcam just for filming and streaming. This past Christmas I even got a pair of new spiffy headphones!

Please let me know what you think about the game itself, and if you have any tips for future Let’s Plays or streams.

Seriously Geeky Sundays: Kings & Queens

April 19, 2020April 17, 2020by Megan Marie // A Geeky Gal4 Comments

Heather at Just Geeking By has created wonderful and unique prompts for Sundays! There are a few other sites out there who post weekly prompts, but I have to say Heather’s are by far some of the most unique and imaginative that I’ve read. I’m really excited to make Seriously Geeky Sundays a staple here on the blog! See the prompts here!

Today’s prompt is about Kings and Queens. Heather says for today’s prompt that Grace Kelly married the Prince of Monaco on this day in 1956 which merged the worlds of Hollywood and royalty. I love fictional and non-fictional royal families so I’m really stoked to answers this week’s questions!

6 Ways I’m Coping with Self Isolation

Most, if not all, of our lives have been turned upside down the past few weeks. I will be honest with y’all: I haven’t been dealing with the lock down all that well. It’s been a difficult three weeks, as I’m sure it has been for everyone else. I’ve been avoiding talking about the COVID19 pandemic, the lock down, and working from home on the blog. I’ve scattered a few thoughts in some recent YouTube videos, but I haven’t really sat with all of these changes and dealt with where my head and heart are until the weekend of April 4-5th.

Naja at Blerdy Otome nominated me for the 5 Games That Have Had The Biggest Impact On My Life tag that she adapted from Twitter! And I’m glad she did, because this is a fantastic tag to put on a blog. I have to admit, there’s been a lot of video games that I have loved for many different reasons over the years than span over so many genres. I’ve had a bit of a hard time picking five but if you want to know how I feel about some of my other favorite games, you can check out my 30 Day Video Game Challenge.

Seriously Geeky Sundays: Easter & Spring

April 12, 2020April 4, 2020by Megan Marie // A Geeky Gal7 Comments

Today’s prompt is about Easter and Spring. I was so delighted when I saw the questions for this Sunday! I haven’t ever really had the chance to talk about Easter on the blog and I think this has presented the perfect opportunity to do so. I know this year’s Easter is vastly different for everyone due to the current events, but taking on this prompt is shining a little light on the situation.
