Girls & Video Games: A MetaBlog(?)

This post is more about another blog post I bumped into on feministing.com than what knowledge or experience I have with gaming. I do think the questions in the video of Brenda Laurel's TED talk speak directly to those underlying the study of girlhoods - namely, "Why not girls?," "Where are the girls?," and "What do girls have to say?" Further, let's be clear that envisioning games for girls does not mean defaulting to pink packaging and slumber party premises.
In related news, the only video game that has my heart (and puzzle pieces of my girlhood) to this day: Tetris.
