        <p><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">BostonChick. When 
          I first ran across her website, she was one of the famous Rangers, the 
          makers of Rangers Gone Bad, and the like. She had quite a reputation 
          as a kick ass player, as well as running a great site. She’s now a member 
          of the same clan as me (PMS!), and I know now that in addition to the 
          site, and amazing <b>Quake</b> skills, she’s an all around great person, 
          and a pleasure to interview. :) So meet BostonChick!</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b><font size="3">Name/rank/serial 
          number? </font></b></font><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, 
          my full name is Adriana Brown. Kinda weird, plain and different all 
          in one. I am the high priestess of my home</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b><font size="3">How long 
          as bostonchick.com been up? </font></b></font><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Probably 
          ~2 years come January, after about 10 major redesigns too. It was going 
          to be a movie page originally,</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b><font size="3">A movie 
          page? </font></b></font><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Like 
          movie reviews and the such. I was silly. It was alot of work so I said, 
          screw it.</font></p>
        <p><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">So I decided to 
          make it on the only game that ever caught my eye. The only other news 
          page I had seen at the time was <a href="http://redwood.stomped.com">Redwood's</a> 
          and <a href="http://www.bluesnews.com">Blue's</a> so I said, what the 
          hell, and started typing away ;) Although, there were a few other news 
          sources out there, I didn’t see <a href="http://www.planetquake.com">PlanetQuake</a> 
          until about 2 months into playing when lagitus told me about it.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b><font size="3">So you 
          went to Quake instead...is that easier? </font></b></font><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Its 
          hard keeping the site up at times. I was doing it alone until about 
          a month back when Dusa joined the crew. Now I have a few more people, 
          Rora, Alpha_Male and Soul_Tear, so its getting easier now.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b><font size="3">How has 
          the site changed since it started? </font></b></font><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The 
          graphics at first were SO bad and the content was meaningless. It was 
          on my ISP too, I think earthlink. And I was busting my butt, always 
          wanting to get more viewers or visitors. I decided to sit down and think 
          of a way to be different then most pages out there but that’s nearly 
          impossible to do with some of these HUGE sites around, all hosting the 
          kids. But, I still love it, its a good hobby, keeps me busy and off 
          of the boobtube</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b><font size="3">What do 
          you see in the future for your site? </font></b></font><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Oh 
          man, that’s so hard to say... So much has been happening lately. I am 
          hoping to go to <a href="http://www.gamegirlz.com">GameGirlz</a> as 
          a sister site seeing as how I may be able to shoot down the <b>Quake</b>(<b>2</b>) 
          news while they report other gaming news. I have a few ideas also about 
          additions to the site</font></p>
        <p><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">but I want to keep 
          em to me and my crew =)</font></p>
        <p><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ideas get taken 
          so quickly</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b><font size="3">You recently 
          added a new section to your site, though, right? </font></b></font><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I 
          added a Featured Modification every month a new mod will be featured. 
          Explaining in detail how the mod works and some strategy, places to 
          find tourneys (if available) and the such. =) So far <b>RA2</b> and 
          <b>LMCTF</b> have been featured. I’m torn on Dec's issue. Not sure what 
          I want to review, hopefully I can find a <b>CTF</b> fanatic to write 
          one up like <b>QB</b> did for <b>LMCTF.</b> It comes better from people 
          who love the mod. I reviewed<b> RA2,</b> that’s my fav =)</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b><font size="3">My favorite 
          section of your site is the rants...any new rants? :) </font></b></font><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I 
          get that all the time. I get some strange emails from ppl that want 
          to write there own rants in response to mine. I have a few in my head, 
          I just gotta find the time to do it. I’m also thinking of adding a Readers 
          Rant collection of those emails I gather. They are funny as hell. </font></p>
        <p><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I had one guy write 
          ~5 printed pages on my bank rant. Sometimes co workers will read them 
          tho</font></p>
        <p><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">then I’m embarrassed. 
          </font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b><font size="3">You've 
          been around in the clan scene longer than most people, I think, having 
          been part of one of the first 'big' clans. What was it like then? </font></b></font><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I 
          started off in Lagitus. They were huge, probably 100 players but of 
          course only about 25% played. It was to hectic for me, so I went to 
          Rangers. My time with the Rangers was very strange.</font></p>
        <p><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I have alot of strong 
          opinions about them, some which I wouldn’t ever say to anyone. Best 
          kept in my head. :) But at first they were a bunch of legends. Zoid, 
          Blue, ColdSun, ArchV, UnknownSoldier, and many more. Alot were like 
          family, alot were like enemies. You just knew they hated me being in 
          the clan. The first and only female such a highly regarded clan </font><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">at 
          the time. They were all kick ass too!</font></p>
        <p><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I got into the clan 
          a short time after the last movie was made. I made voices for 2 movies</font></p>
        <p><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">that were never 
          completed. Ya know, the Rangers got a bad rep when they didn’t get out 
          their 2 movies, and it really sucks too. I don’t know if anyone has 
          noticed but its near impossible to make a Q2 movie.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b><font size="3">Is the 
          clan scene now different? </font></b></font><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes!</font></p>
        <p><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The clan scene has 
          changed DRAMATICALLY. When I first started people played all the time 
          (when they were free). Clans were close, like family and I have noticed 
          alot of good close old school clans falling down due to lack of interest. 
          <b>Q2 </b>had a huge impact on the <b>Quake</b> community and clans...its 
          50 - 50, so it cut the community in half. Either they like it or they 
          hate it. Very rarely you see clans playing both versions successfully.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b><font size="3">So, you 
          recently switched clans. Was it the change in the clan environment that 
          lead to the switch? </font></b></font><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, 
          it was a little more than environment, but you could say that was a 
          factor. Everything changed in the Rangers. I’m not saying for the worse...but 
          just different. And my leadership roles within the clan were null. I 
          was one of the oldest members left in the clan when I left</font></p>
        <p><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">there was alot of 
          everything involved. Plus, I think it was time for a change, going from 
          an almost all male clan to a all female clan was a big move. I always 
          have had my eye on PMS. They were the first clan I ever looked into...I 
          think there was 3 or 4 members at the time. I would hang out on the 
          server. One time I emailed and asked to be let in. I don’t think I was 
          ever contacted. It was almost 2 yrs ago =)</font></p>
        <p><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I feel more comfortable 
          with PMS (no pun intended)</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b><font size="3">Were you 
          into gaming before Quake? </font></b></font><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Actually, 
          no, not really. I played <b>Duke Nukem</b> for a bit on-line beta testing 
          for TEN, but when they started charging I dropped it. <b>Quake</b> was 
          a free online game with plenty of players </font><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">and 
          it was fun as HELL. </font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b><font size="3">What are 
          your favorite games now? </font></b></font><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I 
          have to say, on the single player side...<b>Half-Life</b> rocks my world. 
          I mean TOTALLY. It is so scary. I’m petrified of heights and I was soooooo 
          scared to move half the time, everything is SO high. Dunno WHY. I can’t 
          even look out a 5 story window</font></p>
        <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b><font size="3">What's 
          your favorite multiplayer game? </font></b></font><font size="3" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">And 
          you have to ask? <b>QUAKE 2!</b> I haven’t found a game more smooth 
          and fun than this. Most games are laggy as hell...sin, unreal, and supposedly 
          <b>Half-Life</b>. I don’t like games like <b>Starcraft</b>. It’s ok 
          for single player, but multi is also too slow. I like quick paced ;)</font></p>
