5 Fandom Friday: Games I Love to Play

5 Fandom Friday is a weekly post hosted by The Nerdy Girlie and Super Space Chick. This week's topic is games I love to play.

1. Skyrim - This is my all time favourite video game. I love the world of Elder Scrolls and I love the gameplay and the sandboxiness of being able to run around and do whatever you want rather than follow a strict progression.

2. Ticket to Ride - Probably my favourite board game. I like that it involves thinking ahead and problem solving, but also gives you the ability to screw over your friends at the same time. Plus I'm fairly good at this game and so always have a chance at actually winning.

3. Balderdash - For when you just want to have some fun and some laughs. I like this game because it always makes me laugh and also is very inclusive, since you don't need to be a serious board gamer to play and enjoy it.

4. Lords of Waterdeep - This game is based on Dungeons and Dragons and it basically involves becoming the most powerful person in the city of Waterdeep. It has quite a few rules and mechanics, but once you figure those out, it is a lot of fun!

5. This War of Mine - This the newest game I've been playing and it is great. For anyone who doesn't know it, you play as civilians in a war and you have to upgrade the abandoned house you live in by day and scavenge for supplies by night. It reminds me of a very dark version of The Sims. But I also love the social message behind this game. It's a very different look at war than any other game I've played. Most war games let you play as a soldier and it also sort of glamorizes combat and death. In This War of Mine, when one of my characters died the other day. I honestly felt sick to my stomach. Very different sort of view of war.

5 Fandom Friday: 5 Magical Items I Would Love to Own

5 Fandom Friday is a weekly post hosted by The Nerdy Girlie and Super Space Chick. This week's topic is 5 magical Items I would love to own. Umm, can I have all of them?

1. Magic Wand - This one is pretty obvious. I need it to cast my spells and charms.

2. Bag of Holding - I'm a bit of a packrat, so having a bag I can fit everything I will ever need into sounds awesome.

3. Time-turner - Sometimes you just need more hours in a day.

4. Crup -  If I'm living in a magic world. I need a magic pet to keep me company.

5. TARDIS - I want to go everywhere and see everything and what better way than in the TARDIS. And I'm not complaining if the Doctor comes with it! ;)

5 Fandom Friday: Favourite Snacks/Drinks to Consume While Blogging

5 Fandom Friday is a weekly post hosted by The Nerdy Girlie and Super Space Chick. This week's topic is  Favourite Snacks/Drinks to Consume While Blogging and I definitely failed. I try not to snack too much and here are the 2 things I eat/drink while blogging.

Source

1. Cereal - I do a lot of blogging in the morning before work, while I'm eating my breakfast. Which is usually cereal (mini wheats are my favourite).

Source

2. Tea - This girl loves her tea. Usually Earl Grey or mint.

And that's it! I guess it's a 2 Fandom Friday for this girl.

5 Fandom Friday - Characters I would name my kids after

5 Fandom Friday is a weekly post hosted by The Nerdy Girlie and Super Space Chick. This week's topic is "Characters I would name my kids after." Obviously this is something the needs to be discussed with the baby daddy, but if it were up to me...

1. Kaylee after Kaylee Frye of Firefly - Kaylee is such a sweetheart and from one of my all time favourite shows. Probably not going to go all the way with Kaywinnet though.

Source

2. Dean after Dean Winchester of Supernatural - Seriously, it's Dean!

Source

3. Janessa after Janessa of Skyrim - Yes I'm naming my kid after a completely optional video game character. Janessa is my all time favourite Skyrim follower and we've been through so much together that I would actually be pretty cool naming my child after her.

Source

4. Fred or George after Fred and George Weasley of Harry Potter - I love Fred and George so much. But I can't pick just one. I guess if I were to have twins!

Source

Source

5. River after River Song of Doctor Who AND River Tam of Firefly - Totally doubling up on this one and hitting two of my favourite shows in one go. Although I double my boyfriend would go along with this one. Maybe if we get a puppy?

5 Fandom Friday: Things I've Bought But Haven't Read/Watched/Played Yet

5 Fandom Friday is an awesome weekly post created by The Nerdy Girlie and Super Space Chick where blogger share a 5 item list each week so we can get to know each other better.

I know I'm a bit late to the party with 5 Fandom Friday, but better late than never right? For me, this one could have easily been a 100 Fandom Friday. Just sayin', I love to buy books. But here's my highlights.

5 Fandom Friday - Things I've Bought But Haven't Read/Watched/Played Yet by fangirltwirl on Polyvore

1.Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Steivater - I love this series (The Raven Boys) so much, but just haven't found the time to read the latest book. I can't wait though!

2. Shades of Earth by Beth Revis - Same situation as #1. I loved book 1, enjoyed book 2 and just need to make time to read book 3.

3. Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin - Yep, still haven't read the books.

4. Dishonored - I bought this one on Steam during a sale, but haven't had a chance to try it yet.

5. Diplomacy - I bought this board game at 50% at Chapters, but haven't wrangled anyone into playing it yet.
