Hi-die Ho gamers! Welcome to our new adventure into a comic art series, called PwnStar Playground! I designed this comic using screenshots from my own gameply and edited them into a comic art look. I then used a program to import them into a layout and designed the story- one very close to my heart! It was actually quite a simple process as I didn’t have to create the art from scratch, and I was pleasantly delighted to find how easy it was to make a comic when I have not an artistic bone in my body. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it and I look forward to your feedback and suggestions of games you might like to see included into PwnStar Playground.
Cheers!

And next year’s words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning”
~T.S. Eliot, “Little Gidding”
As most of you know the Frag Dolls team has gone through a lot of changes and growth over the last six months. With our beloved Team Captain, Rhoulette and original Frag Doll Brooklyn moving on in their careers, we have undergone a big loss, but this has also allowed us to refocus and align the team’s goals and direction for future. It is with great excitement that we bring to you a taste of some of these changes.
Throughout the last few months we have identified new needs and desire to increase the team’s growth and ability to impact the industry and Ubisoft brands through the way we recruit our new Cadettes and Frag Dolls. The restructuring of the cadette program and how we recruit has now become a top priority, and we are instilling changes that have reflected the feedback from our Cadette surveys.
As the face of Ubisoft at industry events and online, it is imperative that we continue to groom Cadettes at a prestigious level, while trying to align with our goal of providing females a place to gain experience and network in the gaming industry. As Sabre’s Cadette recruitment blog discussed, we will begin implementing a new plan with the focus on raising the bar on who we recruit into the program. We have also extended the Cadette program duration to a year and lowered the number to eight total girls, which will consist of an equal split of veteran and new Cadettes. While this number may seem small, from feedback we have found it important to allow more event attendance- and we want to extend that opportunity to previous Cadettes as well.
We are also extremely excited to develop our Cadette training programs were we will provide relevant marketing experience and job training, to new and old Cadette classes alike, that will translate to resumes on a higher business level and provide more meaningful impact on job searches. It is our goal to give any Cadette wanting a leg up in the industry, the opportunity to learn and do more and we hope you will take advantage of this new development we are offering you. We want to help Cadettes succeed and provide them with the skill sets that will help situate them in this industry better.
With all these changes in mind, I have kept the biggest announcement till last. It is with great pleasure we announce a newest addition to the Frag Dolls team, Melonie McElhannon (a.k.a Melonie Mac./PMS Whisper), who will now be known as Cryptik FD. Melonie had been an active and extremely viable Cadette since her addition in the Spring 2010 class started. She has been interviewed multiple times before for a Frag Doll role, but the timing was never right, until now. Her personality, social media, video, and technical skills have always made her a perfect candidate and now we had an opportunity to snatch her up, which we have done with pride. She brings all the skills we would want in a new Frag Doll and feel she will be an inspirational addition to the team.
It is also with great anticipation that we announce we will soon begin the hiring process for one to two more Frag Dolls this year as well. While we are unsure of exactly when and how we will do this casting call, we have determined that we need more contributors the team and will be once again pulling from our cadette classes. We hope all of the cadettes will be excited and participate in this casting call when it happens, as well as the new opportunities we will be bringing them with job training and experience through the cadette program.
2012 promises to be a big year for the Frag Dolls and we are glad to have you all with us as we continue to develop and grow the Frag Dolls team!

Wow, this holiday season really came up quick. This is always a great time of year. There are more great video games than one persona can possible get through. Black Friday offers some of the best sales of the year. You don’t have to go to school or work for at least 72 hours and there is pumpkin pie to be had at almost every meal. What more could a girl want?
We have decided to indulge this year and milk every last vacation hour out of this holiday. There are a zillion video games we need to get to. So we are taking Thanksgiving off. We will see you all again next week. Until then, enjoy some of the things we are thankful for this year. Everyone have a wonderful THANKSGIVING!! 
I’m thankful for my family that has helped me through all the tough times in life.
My dad, for always spending time with me for days of epic gaming.
My mom, for always encouraging me and giving me advice about life.
I’m also thankful for my fellow Frag Dolls that have helped me excel in life through teaching me and for helping me grow up.
Happy Thanksgiving!
– Fidget
I am most thankful for my family.
A diverse bunch of people, they are, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Alright, TURKEY TIME. – Pixxel
I’m thankful for the most fantastic set of family and friends a girl could have. – Glitch
“We rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.”
Romans 5:3-4
This has been a crazy couple of months for me. I can now see light at the end of the tunnel. Looking back at all the crazy stuff that has happened I see so much I can be thankful for.
I’m thankful that I have a family that rallies when there is turmoil.
I am so thankful that those I love most are alive and able to share this holiday with me.
I am thankful for my new home and being able to provide a place for the people I love to come together and celebrate.
I am thankful for getting to spend quality time with my husband working through our Spec Ops missions and all the other games we have pilled up.
I am thankful for my son. He just learned to walk. When he takes each step he looks like a bear walking on its hind legs. He claps and laughs and it brings me so much joy and fills my heart with love.
Finally, I am thankful for having too many good games to get through… this is a great problem to have.
May you all have a blessed Thanksgiving Day! Make sure to take the time to tell those closest to you how much you love them. Life is too short. You will never get this moment back. Make the most of it.
– Spectra
I am looking forward to spending time with my son and beasting on some RAYMAN ORIGINS!
Everyone be safe, don’t drink and drive and have a great holiday weekend.
Love, peace and turkey grease! – Phoenix
I am most thankful for my friends and family. I love that my family is growing bigger every year. I am thankful for having little brothers who think their big sister is old, but cool. I am thankful for two beautiful step-daughters who are aging me daily. I am thankful for my niece and nephew, whose diapers I refuse to change. I am thankful for a loving family who supports me in every adventure I find along the way.

Sabre’s Thankful for...
There are so many things to be thankful for in life, and many of them come in very small packages – like video games, for example. Or my dog Kuma (who is the cutest and most adorable little dog/pig/walrus/rat/fox/bear ever). But aside from games and small furry creatures, I’m extremely thankful for my supportive friends and family, who put up with and sometimes even encourage my insane and near impossible dreams. I’m thankful for songs like Selisona Pi , which help me get through my day to day obligations, and I’m SUPER thankful for half-baked chocolate chip cookies. Like...extremely thankful.
And finally, I’m thankful for being a Cadette and becoming a Frag Doll, and having the opportunity to work with such passionate and unique women.
Happy Thanksgiving!
In the words of Eminem, “I’m thankful for the talent in which God gave me and I’m thankful for the environment that he placed me.”
I’m thankful, yet frustrated, for all the amazing holiday launch titles coming out. I have lots of games to play and am being driven nuts by figuring out what to play first. That’s a good problem to have!
I am also extremely thankful for my teams (Frag Dolls & PMS Clan) that have offered me special friendships and camaraderie I will take through my life and have defined my life more than anything else thus far.
I am thankful for my family and sister (Athena Twin) who are my rock and base support for it all.
Finally, I am thankful for all of YOU that are part of our community and take the time to interact and support us!
Happy Turkey Day!
