I had a chance to speak recently with TriXie, of Xbox fame, about all things video gaming. For those of you who don’t know her, TriXie is the Community Manager at Xbox, and an Zuma fanatic (could be an understatement).

Thanks to all our readers who submitted questions through comments, email, IM, etc. We tried to ask as many as we could.

We want to thank TriXie for allowing us to speak with her! Check out the interview below…

drunk pandas: A lot of our readers are looking to get into the video game industry. Can you explain your role as the Xbox Community Manager and how you got into the video game industry?

TriXie: I got into the industry by accident. I was writing smartass editorials for my college newspaper and saw an ad for a gaming magazine looking for ‘edgy’ writing. So that’s how I ended up working as an Assistant Editor for Sierra On-Line’s InterAction magazine. I actually left school when they offered me the job, but it was all worth it. From there I wrote packaging and advertising, and then came to Xbox. I sort of stumbled into Community stuff because I had a lot of interaction with the Xbox gamers in writing Gamer Spotlights. So maybe I’m not the right person to give advice on getting into gaming. I didn’t try to at all. I wanted to write the Great American Novel!
