I’m excited to report I will be moving to Irvine, California within the next month.  My husband landed himself a job at Blizzard! All of my friends know how exciting this is for the both of us, considering we spend the majority of our days playing World of Warcraft. Now we can spend 24 hours a day racking up wizard points. YAY! This transition has its downside though; this means JB will be leaving his current job of 5 years at Bungie. Bungie has been so good to us over the years, they provided us with stability, a good home, and the happiest and best thing of all - JB’s and my relationship. If it wasn’t for Bungie’s Hump Day Challenges JB and I would’ve never met, and for that I give Bungie a sincere thank you.  I will miss BUNGIE!  Now here comes the stressful part…. moving!  If moving wasn’t stressful enough, add a wedding on top of it.  That’s right, this move will all be going down before May 10th, my official wedding day (Yes I’m technically married, but JB and I eloped so now we are having a wedding to satisfy friends and family).  Also, MLG is right around the corner so I’ve had to practice every day and work on top of everything else.  I admit I think I’m going a little bit crazy; I even had to up my dose on Zoloft. *slaps forehand* In …

Brooke Hattabaugh, also known as Brookelyn from the all-girl gaming team the
Frag Dolls, is a competitive gamer hired by Ubisoft.  Brooke, at five years of age, received her first Nintendo video game system and has been happy with her addiction to video games ever since.  Although gaming has always been a big part of her life, she decided to move her status as a “causal girl gamer” to the more serious title: “professional gamer.”

In 2002, Brooke joined the all-girl video game clan, PMS.  This is the clan that prepared and propelled her to her career as a professional gamer. She became comfortable with playing as a team, broadened her communication skills during competitive matches and developed leadership skills, later needed as a professional gamer. After 2 years into leading the Rainbow Six 3 division for PMS, she and co-founder of PMS (Valkyrie) decided to take their gaming in a new direction.  This is when she applied to become a member of Ubisoft’s Frag Dolls team.

Now you can find Brooke spending most of her time practicing for FPS tournaments, traveling the across the U.S. and encouraging more women to play games and especially to compete.  When not gaming she is working hard in school to achieve her bachelors degree as a video game animator.  Brookelyn’s other interest outside gaming include: designing toys, sewing, Mac makeup and dancing. 

Hattabaugh is thrilled to be a part of the Frag Dolls, inspire other female gamers and to eventually partake in the actual creation and development of video games themselves – it just doesn’t get more “hardcore” than that.
