pcworld has an article on the whole process which mainly focuses on Kristin Reilly, but has a short write up on Fidget and Spectra...

Great article. I like how Andrew defends some community members for being assholes to some of the candidates.

I am so happy at the fact my hard work is finally noticed. I couldn't have done all that I have without my friends supporting me from the beginning that is for sure. Thank you guys!

Im happy it is too, and really surprised that it took so long for someone to mention it in and article and give you the credit you deserve. Its awesome!

I am a stalker and defender of assholes. Everyone knows this.

Even though both subjects didn't come up, I won't deny any of that.

Youre a champion

I like how Andrew has followed them around the country... to one place. I'm glad he did the interview and not me.

You are? That is awesome!! What kind of controller setting do you use? I see you have played Mass Effect, Fable 2 and Battlefield: Bad Company all those games don't offer lefty controller options. So do you just play on default settings or do you have a modded xbox controller like me?

I've always been comfortable in the right handed world so I've never changed the controller set up. But then again I've never played at your competitive level so I don't know if there is a better way for me. Lol
are you going to start a lefties team?

that would be cool. In my gaming travels I have not come across too many lefties.

The only one I know also plays on default settings for some games except FPS (he has to switch to SouthPaw) but he doesn't game online or against real people. Being left handed has totally held him back.

Since I got my lefty controller and stopped switching between settings my gaming has really improved.

You go girl!

Wow, Spectra, I didn't know being left handed was such a doosey

I'm also a left handed. It really doesn't bother me while playing any game. As long as I have been playing games it has never been an issue for me. Though I am tempted to ask fellow lefties, when you play GH/ Rock Band, do you actually use lefty flip?

Nope; I've always played muical instrument right-handed. Us lefties have to learn to be ambidextrous

In the previous post I should have clarified that I meant no disrespect to a pure left-handed person I've always been a mutley ambi-dexterous type.

On GH I flip back and forth, but I'm not very good at it. I have only played it once or twice. On rock band I play drums.
