_____________________________________________________________INTERVIEW

[LadyGamers]:   Please tell me about yourself. How long have you been into multiplayer games, why you started playing them. Who got you involved with them?

[Hepcat]:  Uhh.. about myself eh? My name is Chris Cabrera, and I from Houston, Tx. I've been playing Multiplayer games since Dwango in Houston, it was a server that we could connect to for doom2 multiplayer. I got introduced to it by a friend and haven't stopped playing online since.

[LadyGamers]:   Clan XP has an event that's once a year where we allow everyone to come out and get to know each other without having a computer in front of them (ie. LANs/tournaments). In this three day event, XPCon has events like meeting up for a BBQ, going to a theme park the following day and the last day was normally lunch and a theatre movie. Does Flat Line Crew have any type of get togethers that strengthen the unity of the clan?

[Hepcat]:  As far as meetings, hell yea :) We due it more frequently though. FLC members are mostly from Houston, or nearby. It's easier for us to get together. We sometimes go out to jillians, dave and busters, bw3, or just over to DOTCs for a hangout. Most of us have been friends for a while so we pretty much know each other really well.

[LadyGamers]:   Tell us about your clan Flat Line Crew. How long have they been around, what games does the clan play at this time, who's the clan leader? Are any of the members planning on going to Quakecon?

[Hepcat]:  FLC started back around September/October of last year. Most of us were in KoG at the time, but due to leadership problems, DOTC left and asked me and deimos to help out. DOTC is the main dog in the clan, but to help run things Deimos, Evnglion, and myself due different duties to make FLC a more pleasant place. We have a huge gathering of members mostly from Houston or surrounding areas, so it makes it easier for us to attend lans. Quakecon for example, we have 15 members going, so it should be a blast :)

[LadyGamers]:   How would you define the word Quake? Why do you feel id Software named the game Quake?

[Hepcat]:  My take on the word Quake, is probably excitement. I know that sounds weird, but since I've started playing this game, I have had more good times then bad. Lans, parties, friends... its basically part of the cycle. When I play its my way of getting away from the troubles in life and just sitting back and relaxing. Of course to me that's excitement. id software knew it would have this impact on a group of people and knew it would shake the world, hence Quake.

[LadyGamers]:   Can you name your top five to ten fraggers in Texas?

[Hepcat]: My top 5-10 fraggers eh? I would have to go with Thricky for #1. I base good players/fraggers on skill and attitude. So definitely thricky for #1. #2 would go to Lost-Cause. I met rafik a couple of times, great guy, always a good attitude. #3 daler mainly because he owns hard. My #4 would have to be our clan leader DOTC, and the rest I will list"
