Note: This may be the first OLL game-related blog post. If you are interested in it, you also may be excited to hear that tech writer, game writer, and video host Veronica Belmont has decided to participate in NaNoWriMo this year!

I recently finished Campaign Mode in Gears of War 3. I play with my brother, who is a Gears of War fan boy in every sense of the word. And for good reason—there are a lot of fabulous things about this game: the Beast Mode option, old maps re-beautified, and really it’s still probably the ultimate “bro series,” even for lady-bros like me. (But I promised I would write about the writing, and so I shall!) The final installment of the franchise has gotten a lot of praise for its greater presence of female characters, namely Anya, Sam, and Queen Myrrah.
