I have been gaming for as long as I can remember! I can very clearly remember the day I got my Nintendo Gameboy, looked at the green and yellow screen and knew I had found something wicked. From there I ended up with just about every console (and handheld) that was made. Although I am still missing a few and would gladly accept a donation of a NeoGeo for the classic game room! While I will give any game a good old fashioned try my favorites are RPS, action platformers, and puzzle games. I readily admit to being a super huge Myst nerd and proudly hang my signed map of Myst Island on my wall.

When I am not gaming you might find me playing D&D, sewing on my sewing machine, at the Renissance Fair, cooking something yummy in the kitchen, or playing with my cats.

I also love going to conventions and cosplay whenever I get the chance! If you ever want to game with DantheIsland and I let me know! We are always ready to rumble! Just remember we always bring our giant D&D monster to the fight!

Here at GameTopius you can find me on the GameTopia podcast every week (live Monday nights from 9-11 on allgames.com) . I also write for the site, do some of our PR work, run the community game night (every Thursday!), and try to keep up with everyone else!  If you ever want to get in touch with me you can reach me at adelle 'at' gametopius.com

I consider myself a pretty laid back girl, with an inner child who loves dirty jokes. I am also very silly and sarcastic and I just love to be happy and have fun. Some of my hobbies and loves are of course video games, but I am also a huge horror movie fan, I like them all from campy and cheesy to intense and over the top gory; but zombie films are some of my all time favorites. I am also a huge Star Wars and James Bond fan (Sean Connery all the way!), I love when some TV channels have a James Bond marathon, even though I have them on DVD. I am also an animal lover; I have had mice, rats, ferrets, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, cats and dogs. If it's a furry, cuddly animal then I love it!

Gaming has been my life for years. My first system was the Atari 2600, and that's where my first taste of game addiction began. The game was Pitfall...and I was hooked. After that it was NES onto SNES, and well, you know where the list goes from there. Unlike most gamers, I skipped the Sega systems and was a loyal Nintendo system owner until the Sega Dreamcast. I still own most of my classic game systems (the ones that actually work) and I am still gaming hardcore. Mostly I play Action/Adventure games (God of War, GTA, and Prince of Persia) and Survival Horror (Silent Hill, Resident Evil, And Fatal Frame). But I also love Racing (Midnight Club, Burnout), Shooters (Time Splitters, Doom, Gears of War), and very few RPG's (Champions of Norrath, Phantasy Star Online). I don't play sports games because I quickly realized I sucked at them, so I stopped trying. I also love to play online, b/c there is nothing better than sharing gameplay with a friend.

I not only work in the video game industry, but I also have an independent modeling career and I am the Lead Editor and Site Manager for GameGirl.com. I have been going to gaming conventions for about 4 years now. I have appeared in Electronic Gaming Monthly, the late Playstation Magazine, PC World, and Penthouse for an article on gamer girls (no I wasn't naked). I am also a part of a group of gamers put together by Sony called the Game Advisory Panel, we beta test games and complete surveys on multiplayer options, game characters and game content. I love gaming, it's definitely an important part of my life, it's my greatest passion, and it makes me happy!
