Well I am now 9 months pregnant and my kiddo’s launch date is fast approaching. I have really enjoyed being pregnant and I’m not in a hurry for this baby to be born, mostly because he is really easy to take care of right where he is. On the other hand, I cant wait to see and meet this little one who has been wiggling around in my tummy for months. Some of you may or may not know that for the last 3 and a half months I have been by myself. Rigney has been in Pittsburgh and Florida filming the movie I Am Number Four. Normally I go with him and get a job on set but because I’m pregnant I was not able to go. There were benefits to staying home. I was able to go to E3 and Comic Con as well as a number of other fun LA events that I wouldn’t want to have missed. But to tell you the truth, being pregnant all by yourself sucks! It has not been easy in fact I found it extremely challenging both physically and emotionally. One of the things that has helped me get through this pregnancy and these last months has been the overwhelming love and support from this community. You all have no idea how much you have blessed me. I am so grateful and thankful for all of you. As I look around …

Anne-Marie Wilson, also known as Spectra, from the Frag Dolls, has casually played video games off and on since she was a child. But it wasn’t until Halo 2, the creation of Xbox live and her introduction to southpaw controller options that catapulted her into the stratosphere of hardcore gaming. In her relentless pursuit to be the best gamer she can be, Spectra has had to overcome the challenges associated with being a left handed gamer. Learning to play on both default controller settings as well as southpaw, switching back and forth depending on the game and genre. Thus proving, while wearing a “gamer band” and pink fuzzy slippers, she can accomplish anything she sets her heart and mind to.

Gaming is not a hobby for Spectra it is a lifestyle. She spends 30-80 hours a week engaging in video game related activities. Between the hours spent playing online, hanging out in game forums, writing game reviews, or cutting together videos featuring her latest gaming adventures, it’s a wonder that she finds time for some of her other favorite activities, like skateboarding, making jewelry, sewing and traveling.

Every super hero needs a cover! When Spectra isn’t saving the world one achievement at a time she is working in the film industry. Since 2000, she has been involved, doing a number of different jobs on popular feature films and award winning television shows. 

As a Frag Doll, Spectra, would like to raise industry awareness to the needs of the left handed gamer. In hopes, that left-handed controller options would one day become an industry standard for all games. Until then, Spectra will continue to break gamer stereotypes, encourage other southpaw gamers to keep playing and inspire women of all ages to get into gaming. Her passion and enthusiasm for gaming is infectious and becoming a Frag Doll has given her an outlet to share it with the world.
