[LadyGamers]:  You're in Missouri. What type of transportation will you take to get to Dallas, Texas? Are you going alone or with a group of gamer friends?

[KrYsTaL]:  Well I'll be in my bf's car but, we are going with a big group of gamers: Porky, Paw_Dawg, r4in, haze, cryptkicker, Oops, Omega, Kevin,  Blayne. Mostly Clan {MagI} + Close Friends ;) 2 vans and 1 BMW.

[LadyGamers]:  Will this be your first real competition? What other gaming events have you attended in the past? Be it LANs, Conventions or Tournaments.

[KrYsTaL]:   Yes this will be my first real competition. My bf gives me tips and helps me time items at home when we LAN together. I attend MWGL regularly, it's a LAN for people in the mid-west. I have been to a FATlan and other small LANs consisting of 2-3 people locally.

[LadyGamers]:  Lets say you end up being the winner of this tournament. What would you do with such glory? Some Gaming companies have hunt down such skilled female gamers in the past to sponsor in future competitions. Would you enjoy such pressure or are you coming to this event just for fun?

[KrYsTaL]:  Well, I would only enter and event like this with the thoughts of winning. Whether that happens or not, has yet to be decided. I don't think sponsorship would bother me at all. I love games and would be happy to promote them any way I could. Of course, lets not forget it is going to be great fun! :)

[LadyGamers]:  You're a woman of photography and since I know you'll be holding a camera at Quakecon this year I have an odd question for you.  Have you ever tried to find pieces of Quake III Arena in your life? Such as a building that reminds you of a quake level, a book or record cover displaying such terms as RA (for Rocket Arena), RL (for Rocket Launcher), and so forth. Or possibly collecting pictures online that remind people of Quake III Arena? Ever think about making a type of collage that is centered only around about the Quake game series (1-3)?

[KrYsTaL]: Do weird Quake 3 dreams count? Any gamer, that is a hard core gamer, has had a game dream sometime in their life, I know I have. *hehehe*

As far as taking pictures for a Quake 3 theme, it never crossed my mind,  but being around all the Q3ers, that might just happen. :) I'll take pictures of just about anything, from a case mod, to an intense game between players. Maybe I'll start my own Quake site, who knows? Anything is possible. However, my photography is more artistic but you never know. I do know that when someone says RA, the first thing I think is, RED ARMOR. My bf likes to say "facial", "rage your face" and "denied" all the time when we are out in public. I remember once I did pretend to strafe jump at the mall. :\ Is that weird? Well, that's the price of being a gamer I guess!
