Medusa
Old Quake saying:
"There
are a lot of things scarier than you, and I'm one of them" and
"Don't torture yourself, that's my job!"
Nick Name:
Medusa Current Games Focused:
Q3, DAoC,
recovering EQ addict Current Clan Status:
None Quake
Memories:
For the sake of brevity, it's
easier to say what I "don't" remember about old Quake I and
Quake II days. I don't remember a finer time for gaming. A
time of gamer unity emerging, guys and dolls fragging side by
side and learning to share cyber space equally. A time of
sisterhood, my wonderful, strong, wise fellow female clan
mates of PMS, and clans that befriended us chatting and
fragging side by side. IRC became a way of life. (eeek) I have
laughed until I cried many late nights with my gal gamers
friends voice chatting in iParty. Not a week goes by without
something recalling one of my online friends, male and female,
and the fun times we shared. I met my dearest female friend while
playing Quake. Coronita (the multi clanned) and I met during a
all female competition online and developed a friendship that
transcended the limitations of cyber space. Over the years
others have came and gone in both our lives (real and
otherwise) but we remain close friends. Secrets, fears, tears,
and laughs - we've shared them all and more. Quake has been good to me. It changed
my point of view on what I "could do" and what I "should do".
I met wonderful, brave, strong women and men, who knew how to
throw down and have a good time, and more importantly - to get
over themselves. Quake made me a teacher and a student. Quake
awakened a creative side of me and players I met helped fan
the flame. Sounds corny, I guess. Everything I needed to
"keep" relearning about life, I learned from Quake. Ah, those were the days. Unity,
understanding, and unbridled chaos. As my clan leader, Aurora,
of PMS put it so aptly - "Under every floral print dress lies
a lady wearing black garters… carrying a big f'ing gun!".
Modification Admiration: CTF and a distant second RA
Tournament Attendance:
The all female tourney held on Mplayer by Takisis (sp) and her husband was the
first I recall. Since then several LAN party tourneys for fun.
