Why you should be playing Starcraft II Heart of
the Swarm
Sarah
Kerrigan, recently saved by her long-lost and beloved Jim Raynor, groggily wakes
up in an isolation cell. Head pounding and confused, she smells the familiar
aroma of Terran mechanics and cleaning products. As the clarity sets in, so does
the fear, confusion and paranoia.
Atari-Induced Euphoria
Photoshoot
Now, I know I have been completely
MIA for an extended period of time, leaving the viewers and readers here at
Impulse Gamer wondering, "where did Tara go!?" I assure you that it was nothing
more than my overly-packed schedule that kept me from entertaining and enticing
you all with my fun gaming articles and photoshoots!
The
Wonders of PAX Prime... Cosplay Style! (Gallery)
Sexy,
beautiful, intricate, crazy, scary, and even grotesque; these are a few of the
bountiful ways one can describe the cosplay I saw at this year's PAX Prime in
Seattle, Washington. If you think Comicon is your one-stop geeky paradise full
of awesome cosplayers... well, you're right; but if you like yours a bit more on
the gamer side, PAX is for you!
The MLG 2012 Spring Championships Experience Through Visuals and Commentary
After
attending and experiencing the MLG Anaheim Spring Championships this year, I
have completely re-thought my ideas for how I would cover this event. I have
been writing gaming articles here at Impulse Gamer for over a year now, but no
event or topic has inspired me as my first true taste of an eSports-fueled event
like MLG has.
Event Special E3 2012 Epic
Recap
Most
people think that paradise is but a figment of their overactive imaginations,
something that is absolutely unattainable in their lifetimes. Well, my friends,
as a fellow nerd, gamer, and geek culture enthusiast, I can attest to having
been there and back... and boy, do I have a story to tell!
8 Reasons why you will be Watching the MLG Spring Championships
Gaming
industry fans heavily rely on the eSports pro circuit for their dose of live,
hot gaming action. It is obvious by just looking at the MLG logo and hearing
their moniker that they are to gamers, what Major League Baseball is to sports
fanatics!

Event
Special Gameclucks StarCraft II Tournaments
Few tournaments in the circuit
would allow a player as god-awful as myself to join in the fun, even when I
present to them an entrance fee comprised entirely of United States Dollars. Gameclucks, however, opened their hearts to my plight and let me enter the
Bronze and Silver league bracket!

Insert Coin Clothing Ends the Journey for Geek Chic
Once, long
ago, in a barren world of attire mediocrity, lived a young gamer girl named
Tara. This bright, hopeful lass spent night and day playing the exciting
rollercoasters referred to today as video games. These games were colorful,

Online Gaming Friends, IRL
We walked through the bustling mall
on an average, wet Seattle weekend. Peering over the nondescript heads revealed
a vaguely recognizable face; after all, we'd only really seen an image or two of
him. "Hey!" interrupted the familiar voice whose location-deciphering text
message I had just opened, "Nice to finally meet you!"

10 Reasons to Date a
StarCraft Player
Real-time strategy games have been
the bane(ling) of my existence since I attempted, unsuccessfully, to excel in
Warcraft II on the PlayStation console in my pre-teens. The concept of
controlling an army, both aggressively and defensively, while making sure you
are furthering your multiple bases to support said endeavors, sounded far too
difficult to me.

SOCOM 4: Tara the Tactical
Noob
Playing SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs
wasn't something I thought I would be doing when I heard of its release. I was
under the impression that all of the "worth-playing" shooters were solely in
first-person view and, unless I have a three-monitor peripheral system and take
some motion sickness pills beforehand, that's not usually my cup of tea.

What do you think of when you

Gaming FAQ
I
am often being asked questions about myself as a gamer now that it has become
common knowledge that I am a "nerd-turned-supermodel". I wanted to do something
a little special for the readers here at Impulse Gamer because of the guilt
that's been eating away at me for postponing my "20 Most Badass Video Game
Studs" installation for my G-Spot section.

20 Most Badass Video Game
Studs
It
goes without saying that any beautiful woman can supplement a video game plot

theirs...
