Joy Naomi has been great about delivering gamer-focused content for the issues we’ve released so far, and we felt like she deserved some recognition for all her hard work! For the issue, we had her interview herself so that our readers can find out more about the girl behind the geek.

Name: Joy Naomi

Gamer Tag: country cutie83

Preferred Platform: Xbox (I would love to play on PC, but my laptop says no!)

Top 5 Games: Skyrim, Neverwinter, Borderlands 2, Deadpool, Guitar Hero Live

Top 5 Game Crushes: Farkas from Skyrim, Vilkas from Skyrim, Brynjolf from Skyrim (hello, sexy accent!), Drizzt from Neverwinter, Varric from Dragon Age Inquisition

Favorite Classes: It depends on the game I’m playing at the time, but usually healers and tanks if it’s in a game like Neverwinter, and magic users if it’s in Skyrim.

Favorite Races: Again, it depends on the game I’m playing, but almost always I go for the elves. In Skyrim, though, my longest running character is a Nord and my second longest running character is a Breton.

MMO or Single Player: I like both, honestly. It’s always nice to play with others (if you know anybody playing the same game), and it’s nice to have some help when you may need it. But on the other hand, I like my single player type games like Skyrim just as much as I can wander around and do my own thing. It depends on my mood.

Game you wish you could play: Right now, it would have to be World of Warcraft. I got the game and had so much drama trying to get it installed and running, and then my computer over heated when I finally got it going. At this point, I just want to play the game!

Advice for new gamers: Have fun! That’s what the games are there for – to enjoy and get lost in a story to escape reality. You will die – you will get pissed – you will want to throw your console out of the window at times (okay, that may just be me!), but in the end, just remember: It’s a game, so don’t take it too seriously. If all else fails, load a save and try again!
