Could you tell us something about yourself? How old are you? Where are you located and what are you currently engaged in?

"Ow !! hi der xD I'm Raine ^__^. I'm a Design Engineer in her 20's currently residing at Marikina City. I'm into playing Online Games, singing everywhere LOL, watching movies <3 And I'm Always Online LOL !!" When was the first time you actually played a video game? What's the name of the game and game system? What or who made you play?

Wah !! i can't remember when was the first time hahaha it was mario yta and other games on family computer pa hahaha. My cousins(kuya chuck,kuya russel and jun2x) influenced me :D they have family computer kasi that time parang for boys lang yung mga gaming consoles. Old School huh? :D

Do you own a video game console? If yes, what system? Was it your very fist console? What video game platform do you prefer? (PC, Consoles or Handheld)

I had SEGA but i broke it when i plugged it in 220V(boom) haha :D it was my first gaming console my mom gave it to me xD I'm not really into gaming consoles because I prefer PC games. No Match xD

What is your favorite video game? Why?

I like Tekken all of 'em <3 (love the graphics and the story and also i wanna do the kicking, punching etc. LOL), i played CS(whew !! love sniping those Terrorists), L4D(watch out for smoker) but this game freaks me out !! haha but as of now, MMORPG rocks my world. i played Ragnarok Philippines but transferred to private server. This is so good.. continuing to meet new people is one of the advantages of MMORPG. keep them coming xD

How about a particular video game character, who's your favorite? Why?

I like Asuka Kazama in tekken 6 because i'm more like her? haha xD an example of a cool girl kicking butts. oh yeah !! ahaha



Do you play online games? What are your current and all-time favorites? Are you part of a clan or guild? If yes, can you give us some info about your guild?

Yep !! I played pRO, cabal ph etc. but Ragnarok is my all-time fave /kis it runs in my blood, server to server, Ragnarok is still ragnarok because of those cute characters and cute headgears <3 Archbishop and high wizard are my fave jobs xD Currently i'm playing an international server Intense Ragnarok Online (is this legal? haha). And yes, i am part of a guild. it's a military guild at first sight. (i wonder if i could say the name of the guild..O.O) but if you will have a chance to know them, youll know it has a heart after all. even monsters have a heart, so why can't my guild? haha. typically my guild is one hell of a guild. it can beat the living hell out of you. so, it is good and it's well known in my current server. We do WoE AM/PM. Ventrillo is a must in this guild:D Most of my guildmates are boys xD it's a MMORPG btw (More Men Online Role playing Girls) AHAHA xD



If you were to convince a friend or co-worker to play video games, how would you do it? Would you do crazy stuff just to convince him or her?

Hmm. . .I'll offer him/her instant equips, boost and leech haha xD and shempre i'll say lots of good things about the game ahaha crazy stuff like ??? maybe not. maybe the best thing i can do is bring the game to him/her. maybe, waiting for him/her to come to the game, will take forever so ill bring her the game.


Did playing video games make any difference in your life?

Before i started playing MMORPG, i used to go out and play with other kids but now, i'm a little grown up-so i cant play outside like a kid.. and playing online games rescues me from severe boredom. it even gives so many opportunity to open and make new friends. now, i have sets of friends including those in intense RO .xD Oh btw, it improves my hand-eye coordination haha and develops my social skills xD And makes me feel comfortable with the technolgy xD it Rocks \,,/

Do you have any personal video game related story that you can share with us?

I met M** in one of the online games i played. He did become my bf for almost 2 years. We played together. It was our way of bonding before since we're not seeing each other everyday. It was fun playing online games together with ur boyfriend and i miss it xD And i am hoping that in the future
we can play together again. ^___^ (Emo much !! LOL). Enough of those, emoness ahaha i remembered funny things such as i used ingame terms like "ka-party" for teammates, "chixilog" for gays, "zeny" for money etc haha
