There has been a lot happening with our team lately, new members and the release of the Stoked blog and the UT3 beta, but I have unfortunately been very busy with other things and have not had much time for gaming at all. I thought I was going to play the UT3 beta every day by now but I think it might have to wait a little longer. As some of you might know I’m not only a nerd when it comes to computers, but also when it comes to science. I’m currently doing a couple of research projects in neuroscience here in San Diego and that is what has taken up my time lately. Last week there was a huge neuroscience conference in town, with 30000 neuroscientists from all over the world attending! As you can imagine, there was A LOT of nerds under the same roof and also, a lot of very interesting cutting edge research! For example, did you know that blueberry extracts improves memory and cognition in very old rats?

At this conference, I presented a big poster about some of my research and there was a lot of interest in it since drugs that work on the Alpha-7-Nicotinic-Receptor is a very hot field right now. It was a very nice week and now when that is over It’s only 2.5 weeks left until I go back to Sweden to celebrate Christmas with my family! I can’t wait to eat Swedish food again and hopefully I will be able to play some UT3 as well.

Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii is out today, and I can’t WAIT to play it. I’ve pre-ordered my copy at my friendly neighbourhood EB Games and I’m just waiting for the call to go pick it up. To say the game is highly anticipated is an understatement - it’s already scored a 9.7 on IGN.com, and is nominated for Best Action Game at the Spike TV 2007 Video Game Awards. Looks like it’ll soon be time to (temporarily) hang up my 360 controller - I have a princess and a universe to save!

We girls in girlz 0f destruction have been working with Razer at quite many events now and most of us have lots of Razer products at home that we’ve been using over the years.

Today I found out that Razer is having a competition where you can modify an old Razer mouse and win a prize.

Since I have a DiamondBack and a Copperhead at home I think I will modify one of them and take some photos/videos and enter the competition. I don’t know exactly how to modify it yet, but I’m sure I will come up with something. Do you have any ideas?

If you want to enter the competition too, head over to Razerzone.

Yay I’m happy to say we’ve picked up a new member for the team. It seems apparent that the competitive scene is leaning towards console these days, so as a team we’re going to focus on both PC and Xbox. This is of course an exciting time for us, and I can’t wait to enter this new realm of gaming. On that note — I’m really pleased to welcome Tunesha “Chickamungus” Davis from Atlanta, Georgia to the team and hopefully she will join Coochie Dimes at the Winter CPL to unleash in the $1 million Halo 3 tournament there!

Apart from Chickamungus playing the Xbox specializing in Halo 3, we also have Liefje who’s been going hard on Dead or Alive 4 for the Championship Gaming Series draft, Coochie Dimes and DeeAy who have been going hard at a variety of different games, and in a couple of weeks Ms.X will be at it too. Maybe we will have some fun Xbox team nights, stay tuned for more :>

As most of you know Trinelin and Ms.X went to WCG Seattle to take challanges in Quake 3 and Unreal Tournamnet 2004 in the Razer booth. Gamekings tv challanged Trinelin in a game of UT2k4. You can watch a video from the challange at GameKings website.

Yes indeed, we’ve been around for a while - 6 years to be exact and the end of every October brings great joy that we are [as far as I know] the longest active professional female gaming team in the world.

There was some down time this year after the Home of Chrome closure, but things are coming together once again as Liefje kicked off by getting herself drafted into the Championship Gaming League, Trinelin and Ms.X took a trip down to the World Cyber Games in Seattle to do a shootout at the Razer booth and chill in the STOKED energy lounge, and of course Coochie Dimes secured herself a spot in the Miss Video Game finals, which will soon be taking place at the Arcadia gaming festival in Montreal Canada. The Quake cake shown below was actually DeeAy’s wedding cake!!

In addition to all of the above awesomeness, I am so happy to announce that the girlz 0f destruction will be teaming up with STOKED Energy until the end of the year to attend more events and introduce a yummy energy drink to gamers that doesn’t include high fructose corn syrup and has 6 great flavors to choose from….including the newest and popular “After Burn” which has a warming effect when you drink it, and “Wind Chill” which has a chilling sensation when consumed.

Have a peek at the brand new site that’s been launched, it’s fun and social and you will see blogging and event coverage from both team Evil Geniuses (EG) and girlz 0f destruction. Woo!
