Dan Benjamin interviews my former highschool classmate Stevie Case, one of the first hardcore girl gamers and the first professional video game player ever. After becoming famous for her Quake skills, she became a level designer and co-founded a video game studio. She’s also well-known for TV and magazine appearances, including a spread for for Playboy. Today she works for Tira Wireless. Four years ago or so, Stevie just sort of dropped out of the public spotlight (by her own volition), and this is really the first she’s been heard from in a long time. It’s a great interview even if you haven’t followed her career like I have. She’s very articulate (she was an almost freakishly brainy girl in highschool, as well) and has a lot to say about the mobile industry, the iPhone, and what’s it’s like to be “internet famous.” There’s also a cool story about how she knows Dan Benjamin — and it’s related to a little website he co-created called Cork’d. Fun stuff.
