I don't think she's played EVE :)
She's a gamer, she's intelligent, if she wasn't so intimidating she'd be hot ;)
She sounds very intelligent, but please, please STOP SAYING EPIC. I choke on stomach acid every time I hear that word.

She's @avantgame on Twitter and well worth the follow!

@belamar - Touché!
@Mandrill - I have to disagree!
@J.C. - Epic, Epic, Epic Fail!!
@Shave - Thanks, now following her!

Just another reason to say it:
THE GEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH!
