In December, I was so privileged to be able to interview the daughter of Angel Munoz. Angel is the founder of the Cyberathlete Professional League, which was established in 1997. The league has as many as 10 international stops for tournaments all over the world including Asian, European and South American stops.

Angel’s adorable daughter, Gabrielle, spoke to me about how she incorporates gaming into her very well rounded life.

There were some things I picked up from conversing with her off camera, too, that might be of interest to you Halo 3 and Gabrielle fans.

Yvonna Lynn: What is your favorite gun?

Gabrielle Munoz: The needler

YL: I know you are pretty much in the beginning phases of learning to do FPS games. Do you use grenades?

GM: Well it is hard sometimes because of friendly fire which is not the most pleasant thing to do to a teammate.

YL: Do you think gaming is rather masculine?

GM: Gaming is not masculine or feminine, but most girls who don’t play think it is masculine.

YL: Do you play any other games other than FPS games? For instance, do you play any of the games traditionally made to appeal to girls?

GM: Well I like playing as a girl character in FPS games when it is an option. I also like playing things like Barbie’s adventure.

YL: Well in that sense, I guess girls get an advantage over the guys because most boys wouldn’t play those games… but girls get to play both. Gabrielle, Thank you so much for your time. I am tickled to have met such a great girl!
