Kristin's Temporary Home

Welcome to Rah's blog aka my-temporary-home-for-now! I’m sure you’re wondering who is this chick and WHERE did she come from?

Well, I’m Kristin and my official title is HP Community Lead. What does that mean for you? It means that I’m going to be bringing you new, fresh content, not only in the form of blog posts, but through other mediums designed to tickle all 5 senses! Okay fine, maybe only 2 or 3. I easily have the coolest job in the world. I get to travel around and check out the newest stuff before it launches, meet and interview interesting people…oh, and I get to play games.

I suppose this is where I should give you a little back story as to who I am and what planet I came from.

I’ve been gaming since I was little. I actually started on the Kings Quest series when I was young. My family has always used video games as family time. Ever gather 4 people around an 18 inch CRT? Yeah it’s fun. After frequent groundings because I spent too much time on the Prodigy ISP, I made the move to the NES and consoles. From there I went to GoldenEye on the 64 (still the BEST shooter on the consoles), then to Halo and beyond. I’m a gamer; just don’t call me a girl gamer.

So, why HP? When I was initially asked to look at Blackbird, it took a lot of fast talking by my friend to get me in the door. As soon as I saw the machine and its 1 million billion gawk factor, I knew this was a group I wanted to work with. They GET it. Everyone you see here loves games and the community. We want to build this into a place that people frequent for news, info, and the occasional laugh at my expense. And I really want to continue to shame Rahul at Guitar Hero.
