Bless you again, Wikipedia:

Stevana Case (born September 7, 1976) is a recognized figure in the video game industry. She is noted for being one of the first well-known female gamers and is controversial for her methods of self-promotion. Case has filled several roles in the industry, from "Cyberathlete" to level designer to Vice President of Development.

Case gained repute for defeating John Romero in a Quake deathmatch. Case's relationship with John Romero turned into more than just playing games in early 1999 when they began co-habitating. That relationship ended in early 2003. Until then, Case was the Vice President of Monkeystone Games, a game development company she co-founded with Romero.

Shortly after rumored cosmetic surgery, Case became known for her pulchritude and penchant for games. Stevie was approached by Playboy to appear in a pictorial based on an interview she did in the Los Angeles Times. She did the photo shoot in the Spring of 2000. Images of the photo shoot were released on-line but never made it to the pages of Playboy magazine.

Case picked the nickname "Killcreek" from a regional rock band which she admires from Lawrence, Kansas where she attended college, and near her hometown of Olathe, Kansas. The band in turn took the name from an actual creek: Kill Creek. She did not intend for the nickname to stick, but it has.

Case is currently (Nov. 2005) employed at Tira Wireless in sales/business development.

ANYWAY

back on topic, I thought this was interesting: With inflation calculated, What cost $349.00 in 1982 would cost $707.99 in 2005.

Hello, Atari 360. I mean 400. I mean, uh.
