posted by Jube on 01/28/03 |
Annie, Leader of
The Damned. Rolls off the
tongue like Xena Warrior Princess or Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

in the arena, Quake III Arena that is, and The Damned is a Q3 Capture
the Flag clan. Recently DamnedAnnie has been dishing out game
community interviews, including a chat with
Sean Kuehnel of own-age.com
and Q&A with
LadyGamer's very own CaliGirl. Now it's time to turn the tables on
Annie and find out what makes HER tick!

Nightfall posted by
CaliGirl on 01/11/03 |
In case you didn't notice the new
face around here at LadyGamers.com, Nightfall is our new Friday Fun
Day gal. Just in case you are still oblivious to what FFD is, LG
'only' focuses on action and strategy games, with occasional news
about comicbooks and/or movies. Since we don't want to be mean to
other genres that pop out from time to time, we allow news like role
playing, card games on Fridays. Think of it as our TGIF (Thank God
It's Friday) type of post. Since Nightfall was an old
Quake player back in that day, she now has a love for role
playing games. I personally thought she'd be the best pick for the
Friday Fun Day posts. Keep a look out for this lovely lady from time
to time, and especially look for her Friday posts. Welcome to the
team Lady Nightfall! [Welcome
Thread]
Speaking of LG Team, the
about section has
been updated with a few profiles of the people who help out here at
LadyGamers.com. Bios that have been added so far are; Jube,
Nightfall, inpho and myself.
