Bio
Hi! My name is Rosalie and I have been in the gaming industry for about 10 years. I’ve worked at Microprose (CivII products), Raven Software (Quake 4) and Visual Concepts (Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer). My favorite game of all time is Civilization II and the first game I spent my own money on was the original Quake. I still have my Atari 2600 and all of the games. Odd tidbits: I have degrees in Theater and Dance and Software Development and I am a huge fan of mob movies; I am addicted to the Sopranos, Big Love and Entourage; love jazz and blues; I have two grey, luscious kitties named Sera and Winnie. The End.
