Summary:
Hi, my name is Denis Farr. I originally started this blog over at Blogger in July 2008. I tend to write a lot about videogames, and have made various rounds of the web. Was formerly a staff writer for both GayGamer and The Border House, but am currently freelance. This blog serves to explicate my thoughts on any number of issues, not solely focused on videogames anymore (though they still make up the majority).
If you have any direct questions, please feel free to e-mail me at vorpalbunnyranch AT gmail DOT com, or find me on Twitter @aeazel.Search:

WTB: Straight Sexuality
The problem with the above video (beyond the response to the name) is the name itself. The player advertised himself as gay. In almost any online space, this can be a headache. One does not have to display their sexuality … Continue reading
