LG Interview With DamnedAnnie 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. However, Annie isn't slaying vampires and demigods.

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!

LadyGamers Welcomes 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.
