ASK A DOLL!
Jan 31, 4:30 pm

1. Have any of you ever played Star Wars Galaxies?

I have it, but haven’t gotten around to playing it. I know myself and a couple of the other Frag Dolls got it with tokens from our PAX win. It was one of the best prizes that year.  I don’t know if the other Dolls have played it. The only Star Wars game I ever played was KOTOR!

2. If indeed any of your friends lists are full, would you consider removing anyone who has low activity for someone who will be on for quite some time?

Of course I would. Whenever I clear out my list, I delete the people that haven’t been on for some time or those that I never seem to play with. If someone requests I make room and add them, I always consider it.

3. How did you end up as a Frag Doll? And do you have any advice for us to better our gaming style?

Ubisoft announced they were putting the group together and I thought, what better thing could there be than getting paid to do what I love?  As far as gaming style goes, I always promote run and gun for the best, most action-packed fun!

4. How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck?

As much wood as a woodchuck chucked when a woodchuck could chuck wood.

5. What’s your opinion on Rock Band and do you own? And if so how often do you play

Of course I own Rock Band.  I absolutely love it! What’s funny is that I have mostly been playing it offline with some of my gaming friends in my area. I have like 4 different bands based on who is over at my house.  We are all in love with it. Unfortunately, the only thing I can play on the more difficult levels is the vocals.  This absolutely sucks because I love playing the drums. However, to make more money and unlock stuff we need fans, and me on the drums means losing them!

6. What’s your new year resolutions?

To not have a New Year’s resolution… I recommend this for everyone!

7. How do you girls afford to travel the country and go to all of these gaming events in all different states? Because I would NEVER be able to afford that many trips around the country.

Well, firstly, most of the time we are WORKING at these events, hence why we can afford them. You must remember, this is not only our passion, but also our job. So, we get paid and we’re able to expense our costs from traveling.  That’s how we do it!

8. Given a reasonable budget (let’s say $50m), your pick of game development studios (Ubisoft, Bungie, Blizzard, Bioware, etc), and a reasonable time frame (let’s say three years), what game would you personally like to make?

Frag Dolls the Gremlins- Please see my last ASK A DOLL blog! Sorry if I didn’t take this question too seriously, I just wouldn’t give out the ideas that sit in my head so people can steal them. MUHAHAH!

9. What other Frag Doll names did you consider before settling on the one you currently use?

Every name I looked at was a goddess of some sort. I looked at mostly warrior goddess or those depicted in some sort of battle. I always use this theme for gamer names; you should see my collection of WoW toons!

10. After having thought long and hard, thats what she said , about what question to ask the prestigious Frag Dolls, I finally came up with the perfect question...are any of you gals looking for a date? Ummm wait scratch that I have a gf...what I meant to ask was do you think there will ever be a time where one will be able to consistently play games online without having to deal with all of the horrible racial slurs/unnecessary bad language thrown around? and if so how the heck do we get there? Don’t get me wrong I drop an F bomb here and there just like anyone else, but recently I’ve had my online expierences marred the sweet sounds of ignorance. I mean people on my own team kept going back and forth talking about how they each were going to kick each others asses in real life all because one guy supposedly stole another guys kill. People lets stop the hatred and just enjoy all of the awesomeness that is gaming. FD rule...and I’m totally waiting for the day I can get my shot at challenging a FD on live. My gamertag is CPEC T if anyone is up for it. Thanks

I hear ya, and I completely agree. People need to grow up and chill out when playing online games these days! I am mostly playing WoW right now, but if you shot me a message I’d clear a spot for you and send you a request!

11. Have you played with jerks in halo(halo,halo2,halo3) that think they’re all that and a bag of chips, then kicked their butts, then they were quiet… =P

Unfortunately, the type of people that act like jerks in the beginning also stay the same at the end no matter what the outcome. I really can’t fathom how people that just got smoked continue to talk trash and call you garbage. I mean, YOU JUST LOST, idiot!

12. Before the Frag Dolls ever came a group how did you get into that business?

I am a co-founder and a leader of a large female clan as it is, so I was already moving through the connections of people I had met at events and such. When Frag Dolls came into being, I simply saw it as another way to get paid to do what I love and advance my cause for women in gaming.

13. If Hillary Clinton wins the 2008 election, what effect will this have on the video game industry? For those of you who may not remember, her efforts to uproot Rock Star games over GTA: San Andreas plus Jack Thompson’s efforts can really cramp our style as gamers if she passes legislation. More importantly, would the Frag Dolls consider joining forces with like minds in the gaming community to defend our liberties? I’d love to see a reply.

While I most certainly believe that people should support their beliefs and fight for their rights, I always stay away from politics in terms of keeping it in general tones. Why? Because I simply don’t want to argue about politics and religion over the internet. In my opinion, this subject matter should be kept away from the public forums.  I will say I don’t believe in supporting anyone based on one stance alone, and look for the general symmetry of my views.  I am a member of Entertainment Consumer Association (ECA), so I believe in protecting ourselves and our passion; I will just side step specific candidates and policies.

14. I want to be a frag doll… how do i join- or can i join?

Well, you will have to wait for the next time we hire, which can be quite an extensive process. As we just hired two new girls a couple of months ago, I don’t see more Frag Doll hiring opportunities popping up for a while.  But anything can happen, so keep your eyes peeled!

15. Just wondering if there are any plans to expand Frag Dolls to Canada. We get forgotten alot being up here!

I’m not sure, but anything is possible. Canada really isn’t that far of a trip for us US Frag Dolls.  In fact, we have gone up there a few times for events already. I don’t know that it would be feasible and viable to create another group so close that really doesn’t have much in terms of pro circuits or industry/consumer events.

16. Do you think HAZE will fry all other FPS’s till now?

While I know it to be very good, I don’t know about claiming it will “fry” all others. This has been a great year for games and FPS’s, and really, it’s all about your game style and what you like to play when there are so many superb choices.

17. Alright, I’ve been wondering about this for awhile… when you played against the Bungie team for the humpday challenge, how did you put up that good of a fight with half your team being relatively new to halo 3?

Well, its true Pyra and I didn’t play the game and we only practiced about 12 hours or so before the match, however, we do have a lot of experience with Halo 1 and 2. We possess inherent FPS skills due to playing so many games. We indeed held our own against the guys that latterly had to TRY OUT for the Bungie Hump Day Team. I was very proud to tea bag them all over the place - win or lose.

18. Should I lose myself in the music? the moment? and own it?

Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

19. Who’s sneakier? Snake, Sam Fisher, or the Burger King?

The Burger King guy is by far the sneakiest (and creepiest!).
