Brittney
June 25, 2010
What’s up guys? Along with Kristina, I am the newest addition to Zaxy (although it appears some of you already figured that out)!
Yeah, yeah…Brittney=Britney Spears. Blah blah I didn’t do it again and don’t hit me one more time.
I know that was awkward, but it was necessary. Trust me.
Now that THAT is out of the way…
In the way that Tara and Kristina have labeled and introduced themselves, I shall do the same. My name is Brittney (or Britt5091 as the internet knows me), and I am a geek.
Although I sincerely enjoy Anime, Manga and am JUST now getting my feet wet with comics (just about to finish The Walking Dead compendium!), my forte and all-access pass into this great land of Geek is my obsession and passion with videogames and the industry as a whole.
Long story short—I’ve been prancing around in Videogamedom ever since I can remember. My grandma and almost every other female on my dad’s side of the family is a gamer, and I was fortunate enough to inherit the gene. Needless to say, our family gatherings are hardly ever dull ;)
(I’ve been playing since you were in diapers, boy.)
Like Tara mentioned earlier, this year has been exceptionally exciting for me as not only did I fly across the country for PAX East, I was recently able to fill a lifetime goal of going to E3. Believe it or not, actually experiencing E3 in person is a million times better than watching conferences via laggy websites and reading news via live blogs. Who woulda thunk it?!
Anyway, I’m SO very excited to be joining Zaxy and to share my gaming knowledge and thoughts and hear all of yours. I tend to be amazed and distracted by pretty, shiny objects, so be sure to expect some randomness out of me as well!

This is an exciting week here in Zaxyland… Two new lovely ladies to write about all of their passions! Woohoo!
You met Kristina yesterday, and today I would like to introduce you to Brittney.
(Holy eff, Brittney. You’re gonna give these boys a heart attack.)
We met Brittney through our site–she was an avid commenter on our blogs and tweets, and through some classic internet-age stalking, we found out that she blogged and podcasted as well!
(She’s also bffs with Ratchet. Jealous!)
She will be bringing the hard-core gaming back to Zaxy, as well as a nice mix of comics, anime, etc. I think she’ll be a great fit and I’m excited to get to hang with her… In fact, if you come out to the Red, White, and Dead zombie walk in Fremont on July 3rd, you’ll see us both there!
Want to know more about her?

Stay tuned for her intro post! She’ll also be giving us all the info on her trip to E3 shortly!

Hello! I suppose I am one of the new Zaxy girls.
It’s a little weird to figure out how to introduce myself on the Internet. It kind of feels like walking into your own house and introducing yourself to strangers who are sitting in your living room for some reason.
So, hello strangers in my living room. I am Kristina, and I am a geek.
(Here I am, rocking out)
My geekdom started young – I was a book nerd, which turned me into a full-fledged Harry Potter nerd. Harry Potter led me to wizard rock (of which I am one member of the band The Parselmouths) which led me to Youtube, where I vlog under the username “italktosnakes”, as well as on the collab channel “fiveawesomegirls”.
Okay, enough about my Internet street cred; I’m about to leave on a month long summer tour with my band, so I wont be posting as often as I’d like. BUT – I’ll be getting some great coverage of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park, VidCon (the YouTube conference in LA) and letting you know about any other hilarious stuff I encounter on my adventure.
With that, I’ll leave the rest to Tara.
Kristina
PS. I’m also in an electronic nerdrock band called ALL CAPS that sings about robots, zombies and World of Warcraft. I just thought you’d want to know.
Tara
Although the news of Jill leaving is quite sad, I am extremely excited to get to announce the two new lovely ladies joining the Zaxy team.
The first girl is a friend of mine: She’s roommates with one of my friends from college, and I’ve gotten to know her a bit better over the last year or two.
(Here she is as a zombie for Night Zero!)
(Apparently this is her dressed as Sporty Spice hugging a Chicken McNugget sign? I don’t ask questions.)
I have to admit, I was a bit intimidated the first time I met her. You see, Kristina is a bit of a YouTube celebrity. She’s got a huge following (40,000+ subscribers!), but she’s totally sweet, down to earth, and hilarious. You’re going to love her! She also used to write a Lost reaction blog, and I know you guys are into that.
She’s about to go on tour with her bands (I know, right!?), but will be updating us on her adventures on the road. Once she gets back, she’ll be updating us on things like books, comics, movies, and gaming!
She’s a big fan of Harry Potter, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Lost, Internet Memes, TV, Movies, and board games.
Watch for her first post following this one. And if you want to get to know her a bit better, feel free to contact her!

Our next Zaxy girl is fresh from E3. Once she gets acquainted to the real world again, she’ll write up a great E3 recap post, and I’ll formally introduce her!
Be on the lookout for a new Zaxy website, some great “About us” pages, and new Zaxy pics in the next couple months!
