Gamer Babe Marissa

February 20, 2008 · Filed Under Gamer Babe, Girls 

This month’s Gamer Babe just celebrated her birthday today… even though me, her and the other Level Up managers are currently out for corporate planning here at Tagaytay. So, I’d like to wish Marissa a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Marissa’s our Project Manager. Her charm and kind personality lends an air of kindness in the office. A stark contrast to the very stressful tasks and projects that she manages. Even though faced with excel sheets, a hundred forms and hard deadlines, Marissa still manages to make time for some gaming on the side to “de-stress”, so to speak.

So, without further ado, let’s all welcome Gamer Babe Marissa!

GM T: Tell me something about yourself?
Marissa: I love playing online games and surfing the Internet for the latest clothes and make-up. I actually have bought a lot of items from people selling stuff on Multiply. My latest obsession is my pink Nintendo DS where I play Brain Age, Nintendogs, Pokemon Diamond and Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings.

However, I can also be a girly-girl because I love shopping for clothes, shoes, bags and make-up. I’m also happily married and we recently celebrated our 1 year anniversary.
GM T: How did you get into gaming and online gaming?
Marissa: I’ve been playing computer games for quite some time and I started on the SNES. I’ve always liked the RPG type of games and I am especially dedicated to Squaresoft and the Final Fantasy series. I started online games when my friend got me into the closed beta of Khan.

GM T: What online games do you play? Why do you like it?
Marissa: I play Perfect World. What I really liked about PW is that you can customize your character’s face and body to make it look exactly like you. There are also clothes you buy from the item mall to dress up your character. Best of all, it is free to play!

GM T: What’s the best reason that you got into MMORPGs?
Marissa: I guess it is the fact that you can build up your character any way you want. It is also great playing with real people from different walks of life and the teamwork that goes into guild activities.

GM T: What do your non-gamer female friends tell you when they find out that you game?
Marissa: Hahahaha! They’re actually used to it. It’s like a quirk in our barkada.

GM T: What’s your most unforgettable moment ingame?
Marissa: I guess my most unforgettable moment in-game was the first time I participated in a massive PVP siege. The adrenaline you get when you and your friends fight other people online is incredible. It really builds up your competitive spirit and you don’t notice how long you’ve been playing.

GM T: Do you have any advice or tips for girls out there who want to try gaming?
Marissa: There are so many games out there that there is sure to be something you’ll like. If you’re into puzzles, casual gaming or hard core MMORPGs you will definitely find something.

GM T: Final words for your friends, guildmates or fans?
Marissa: Have fun and always be nice
