_____________________________________________________________INTERVIEW

[LadyGamers]: 
You mainly have a background for Quake II. Did you ever try out the original Quake game later on? Most gamers who start out with Q2 don't like Quake 1 as much.

[BitterIvy]:  Actually, I started playing Quake 3, single player, in March of 2001, and started playing it online in March of 2002. I played alot of Quake 2 single player and very little of it online. I've never played the original Quake. Although I am curious, especially since I've heard the soundtrack is great. [hehe] I love playing Quake 3 Arena. When my ex-boyfriend introduced me to it, I don't think he had any idea how well I'd take to it.

[LadyGamers]:  You were known for being a Gamespy Friday Night Frag Fest groupy from constantly playing those nights. What do you miss about those days? Do you have any pleasant memories you can share with us?

[BitterIvy]:  Well, the FNFF, or Friday Night Frag Fest, was put together by the people from Planetquake and the PHHortress.  I am actually still an active participant in the FNFF, or at least that's what the site says. (Under the Files section, Quake 3 skins.) The FNFF is a great place to have some fun. It's not a competitive clan sort of thing. Everyone that participates is there to kick back and frag some butt. I've met a lot of wonderful people at the FNFF. We all have a great time, and we usually end up with some pretty cool action screenshots. The are posted on the FNFF site under screenshots, along with the scores from the FNFF *INSTAMUSH* server (65.113.118.154:27961 ), the FNFF MOD server (65.113.118.154:27962 ) and the -=HELLCHICK=- server (65.113.118.155:27960). Anyone can come out and join in. The plans are posted each week on the PlanetQuake forums.

[LadyGamers]: You happen to be inactive in the Ladies of Quake clan at the moment. Does this mean you currently don't play in any matches for LOQ? It couldn't be that you have you put your gaming life on vacation for now.

[BitterIvy]:  I do participate in practices, help out with the website, and admin/moderate the channel and the forums. I have not put my gaming life on vacation. :) In fact, I've stepped it up by joining a great bunch of guys from clan Zero Hour, zH. I am in the process of helping to ready their iFT team for the OGL insta Freeze Tag ladder. I am looking forward to the serious competition. We have a great bunch of guys on the team and I believe we will do well.

[LadyGamers]:  What games are you looking forward to the most at this time? Is it Quake 4? Doom 3 or something else? Do you feel this upcoming game could get you to compete in tournaments for cash prizes?

[BitterIvy]:  I'd have to say Quake 4. I've never played Doom, so I'm not sure how that would be. Well, I've never been in a competition that was for cash prizes. The idea sounds interesting, but at this time it's enough to just win for the sake of winning.

[LadyGamers]:  With a lot more female gaming sites popping up around every corner the past few months, how does it make you feel to have a broader selection of gaming resources?

[BitterIvy]: I like the idea of having sites that cater to female gamers. I have an informative site about Quake myself, although it doesn't cater just to the ladies, but more to the freeze and iCTF world. It's nice to have a broader selection of resources, so that I can always find exactly what I am looking for.
