House Daenyr is the World of Warcraft guild I am a member of. They really make playing the game a lot of fun. If you play WoW, and play as Alliance on Deathwing, and are in need of a guild - look us up.
Girls Don't Game is a gaming blog run by a few women, one of whom is a friend of mine from the Frag Dolls forum. They discuss and posit all manner of topics pertaining to the gaming industry, give 'em a look.

Comics
If you consider yourself a gamer and you are not already familiar with the satirical stylings of the guys over at Penny Arcade - then you need to get out from that rock you are under. These guys have been sticking it to the gaming industry for a few years now and, most of the time, they're right.
Looking For Group is a webcomic loosely based on characters and themes from World of Warcraft, and it's hysterical! The story follows Richard the Warlock and crew as they set out along their epic (*giggle*) quest to save the world...I guess.
VG Cats is another great online comic. This comic satirically spins on all manner of games from Final Fantasy to Splinter Cell.
Games
Move over WoW, there is in another MMORPG in my life. EVE Online is quickly becoming my MMO of choice. Set on a single, semi-freeform server, EVE Online engages the player in epic space combat that includes the most functional and relevant game economy to date. If your a MMO fan, but favor sci-fi to fantasy, then EVE Online is for you.
World of Warcraft, one of the few MMORPGs that I've been able to stand for more than a few weeks. By now I'm sure you've all heard of it, so I really won't go into details concerning it here...because then I wouldn't be playing it.
Pirates of the Burning Sea is a MMORPG from developer Flying Lab Studios based out of Washington. The game features unique and exciting ship to ship, and avatar based combat as you level up your Spanish, French, British, or Pirate character on the high seas.
