What’s your main game?

• Luna Online Ph. It’s a cutesy fast paced, free to play MMORPG that everyone will find entertaining. With its cute characters and fun features, you will find yourself asking for more,

How did you start playing video games?

• I started playing video games (NES) when I was 4 or 5 yeas old. I still remember when I had to fight with my brother just to play Nintendo.

What was your first game?

• Karate kid
• Mario bros.

Your proudest gaming moment?

• When I get to finish a story. YEY!

Game Affiliations: (guilds, clans, forums etc.)

• I’m currently a 7^th Seal guild member.

Preferred Game Genre: (mmorpg, fps, rpg, action, etc.)

• Role playing games. Why? Because rpg games today deliver some amazing and colorful graphics that you can’t help but really get immersed in the story as well as the characters you are portraying. It’s always been my dream to become a hero in tale world to fight monsters (go-here-and-kill-that kind of quests), but my favorite part in RPGs is when you get to recruit characters to your party!

Preferred Gaming Platform: (PC, consoles or handeld)

• Consoles, specifically the Playstation. I’m more comfortable playing PS than any other gaming platform.

If you were given a choice for a free console what would you choose from the three? Wii, Ps3 or Xbox360?

• The Ps3 is my preferred console for its ability to play PS2 games makes it a worthwhile alternative to other consoles. I also like the graphics and the best rpgs are released here.

How about if you were given a free handheld what would you choose? Nintendo DS or PSP?

• PSP, because it offers better graphics than Nintendo DS games.

Are you more of an online or offline gamer?

• I used to be an offline gamer, but when I started playing Luna Ph I didn’t have much time to play offline games anymore. I’m now an online gamer which lets me to get connected with other gamers. Social interaction is the key to become a successful in Luna Online.

Let’s say you were given the choice to change the world into one of the games you played before (or you are currently playing), what game would it be?

• Final Fantasy 7 and 9 because of the place, story and characters fascinates me plus the summons and the material you can use. The entire Final Fantasy series are an amazing way to enjoy a good adventure.

If you can change yourself into one of the many heroines in any game, who would you change into?

• Kid in Chrono Cross is just so cool. I like her free spirited character who loves adventures and the fact that she will never turn her allies down.

You’re in the middle of the guild war and suddenly you get a call that your mother’s uncle’s daughter’s dog died. You’re both close and she needs you bad for emotional support, what do you do?

• It’s my mother’s uncle’s daughter’s dog T_T of course I’ll go there and comfort her! I’m pretty confident that my guildmates will win even without my presence. :p

What are your other hobbies aside from gaming?

• I love to sleep. I also enjoy reading fictional stories and baking.

Why do you think pinay gamers rock?

• Female, male, whats the difference? In game there all the same, nothing but a bunch of pixles with personalities. I’m pretty sure there are lots of pinay gamers already, myself included. We rock ‘coz we’re not your typical pinay! Don’t you dare underestimate us, because we can kick your ass!

What’s your message to all the gamers out there?

• For many teenagers, video games are an enjoyable and popular pastime. Players can now interact with one another in imaginary worlds. The immersive experience is becoming ever richer that even came to the point that it’s becoming destructive to ones education. Many gamers now prefer to play rather than to go to school. We should prove them wrong because the longer we push that stereotype, the longer we’ll be seen that way.
