Thoughts from a (girl) Gamer
Tara Voelker's thoughts. A lot about video games, a little about life
Blog Info & News
So, you’ve stumbled on my blog.
So what’s up here? Not much, so in short:
I’m Tara Voelker. I’m Irrational Games QA Lead and IGDA Game Accessibility Chairperson. I talk about the game industry, video games, paranormal investigating, life in general and my Hello Kitty car. I post sporadically, and sometimes disappear for months at a time. Sometimes I post 3 times a week. It’s really what ever I have time for.
I frequently lie and say I’m going to post something on some topic and then never do. Whatever. It’s my blog.
Sometimes I have a guest poster, normally my friends Kristiana or Kat.
Hope you enjoy.
Site news – Update 11/30/12:
Hey everyone,
So, I’ve still (as always) super busy with work. This whole “Bioshock Infinite” thing It’s keeping me busy. (WOOO 12 HOUR CRUNCH AND WEEKEND WORK, AM I RIGHT!?) Haven’t even had time for the the whole paranormal investigation thing.
I swear, when this ships I will post regularly again (lies).
I’m way behind on pictures of my tattoo. And I never posted pictures of my Halloween costume.
Until then, go listen to my shorter ramblings on Twitter.
Much love,
Tara
I cant wait till May to hear what you got for Fable 2 and R E 5.
I like the setup of this site better with the Things we have to offer column.
Hmmm… A blog dedicated to Ms. “T” for Tiller’s thoughts and opinions??? Eye CaN hAZ IntReeg…
Sounds like a party.
I’m in.
*bookmarked*
I like what you’ve got going on here! Looks great and excited to see what you girls bring us.
Just wanted to say I hope the site succeeds… Keep us updated on the escapist with your articles, sure there are people who’d love to see them1
Hnn…I’m torn. On the one hand, I have enough websites to compulsively check.
On the other, I do not have enough websites to compulsively check.
I will perhaps drop in sometimes.
write an article about street fighter 4! or guilty gear!
Haha, you would ask for that. I don’t think I could write anything about those games, you guys would tear it apart because I don’t know enough! lol
write an article about awesome arcade sticks.
when people saw my first stick, they were like WHOA why is it so big? (not intentionally dirty … or maybe i was …)
my first stick was a modded HRAP1.
That is something I might be able to do. I’m totally going to put pictures of mine up when Brian gets it done. We’re waiting on some parts right now.
As to your page ‘sex sells’ Tara…
Yes, that pic of you did catch my attention, and I ended up reading the entire post
Is this you in this picture?

You won’t believe where I found it
It’s not me, I had to look at it twice, but not me. That’s creepy though.
Fantastic – really awesome subject. I’m goin to write about it as well!!
How is that not you? I mean really? That HAS to be you. Where did People Harshil find it?
On a site called “Chicks with iPhones”
Most of it’s just porn, though
There is a taco under my bed….
You may want to remove that before it gets moldy.
Does it poop ice cream scoops?
Hey girls, just noticed your blog!
I’ve only just recently started blogging as a girl gamer too, it’s great to see others out there and better still to see them blogging about it and spreading the word that girls game too =D
If any of you have xbox let me know your gamertags!
GOG x
Didn’t you go to GDC a while ago? Where’s all the posts on that?
As a gamer “girl” (technically gamer woman as I am in my thirties..) I think you should post whatever you want not thinking how the guys may tear you apart…I want to hear your opinions even if the knowledge is sparce. if they don’t like it then so be it. And who is excited about Fable 3? I am I am!!
Love your blog
