[LG]: How did you come to be involved in the wonderful world of online gaming?

[PreciousDeath]: Well I personally used to think games were so stupid and never understood why my older brother liked them so much and could play them for hours, then one night I saw him playing the Freeze tag mod of q3, and I've been hooked ever since.

[LG]: What do your family and friends think of your very time consuming gaming hobby?

[PreciousDeath]: My friends think its great cause they are gamers too, My 2 brothers play so they think its cool, my parents think its a waste of time.

[LG]: How did you get started with the OGL, and which games do you work with currently?

[PreciousDeath]: My first expierence with OGL was when I joined carnage cowboys first I started out just competting on the ladders, then I became interested in admining, Redmind who was in CC at the time got me started in Urbanterror CTF ladder. Right now I currently work with urbanterror ctf, threewave capture strike, dm 1v1, and dm team open.

[LG]: Based on your OGL experiences, which game's community makes you think "*phew* glad I don't work on that ladder", and why do you think they're rowdier than other communities you're familiar with?

[PreciousDeath]: That would definitly have to be the Counter Strike division. I think maybe CS draws a younger crowd possibley and people in general at least from my expierence just don't care about their conduct.

[LG]: Are you currently competing in any ladders or tournaments yourself? If so, what's your record like, and do you think your opponents take you less seriously because you're female?

[PreciousDeath]: Right now I compete with CC on urbanterror team survivor rank 4 ,18/13 record. I guess the respect evens out , you have the guys who think all female gamers are 500 lbs and are only good at quake because they don't have a life, or you have the ones that just thinks its so cool that they are playing a female.

[LG]: What game(s) are you most looking forward to the release of?

[PreciousDeath]: Doom 3 mmmm eye candy.

[LG]: Are you currently romantically attached? If so, are you with a fellow gamer? If not, would you rather date a gamer or non-gamer, and why?

[PreciousDeath]: Not at the moment, I don't really have the time. I think I'd much rather have a gamer , cause then he'd understand my need to kill things. I've dated a gamer before its fun to turn the tables and see a guy get ignored for a game, that drives them NUTS.
