 Interview with Asia Carrera
Introduction

Winner of AVN's "Performer of the Year" and "Best Sex Scene" awards, Asia Carrera is best known for her career as a porn star. But did you know she has a 150+ IQ and plays Unreal Tournament? Not only that, she runs her own UT servers, and has designed and built her website: AsiaCarrera.com.

L4ZiE interviews Asia Carrera about gaming and the Internet.

About the Interviewer

Josh Lazie, aka L4zie, is probably best known for his 5 years as bass player with Danzig. More recently his life consists of, and I quote, "cessing out on IRC and playing Quake". Josh picked up the Quake 1 demo from a PC Magazine and has been hooked ever since. During tours he would take his machine on the road and play QuakeWorld over modem.

L4ZiE: how did u get into playing computer games?

Asia: I actually stumbled on Unreal by accident - I've never really liked playing games on my computer (the 'games' folder is always one of the first things I delete right after installing windows) My boyfriend Clarke bought Unreal for himself and a newbie pal to play, and as usual, he handed it over to me to install and configure for them. I'd get the proggie up and running, figure out the gist of what to do, and then give them a quick overview, so they could start playing right away, without wasting any time with manuals or helpfiles! Hehehe! We'd gone through this routine many times before, and I'd never had any interest in continuing the gameplay after handing the reins over to them... until now. This was the first time any of us had ever played a LAN game, and we all got a huge kick out of seeing and hearing
each other's reactions as we fragged our asses off.

L4ZiE: What is more addictive, sex, or multiplayer UT?
Asia: I'm embarrassed to say that I spend more of my day looking forward to unwinding with a good frag than anything else. My night's not complete until I've gotten my fix of at least a couple rounds of UT, and after that... well, THEN I can start looking forward to 'other' bedtime activities... LOL!

L4ZiE: Have you ever said "One more frag honey and I'll come to bed"?
Asia: No, but the only reason I haven't, is because my boyfriend is 100% as addicted to UT as I am, and he's always at his computer, right next to me, going frag for frag with me online until we're both ready for bed. Must be true love, huh? :)

L4ZiE: Do you ever think about UT while your doing a scene?
Asia: HAHAHA!!! OK, I can honestly say I have not. Well, that's a relief! I guess my addiction to UT hasn't reached the worst stages after all, huh... yet...

L4ZiE: What are your favorite munchies when you're playing real late at night?

Asia: Hm, good question. I do love my late-night UT munchies, although they're terrible for my day job as a pornstar...

L4ZiE: Is it possible that kOz-Jmaster wears shorter shorts than u do in your sex scenes?
Asia: I don't wear shorts in my sex scenes. Makes it really hard to shoot the hardcore footage if I still have my clothes on LOL!

L4ZiE: Have you ever played Quake, and if so wtf are you still playing UT?
Asia: Yes, I've played Quake. Have you ever played UT? And if so, wtf are you asking such a silly question for?

L4ZiE: Do your friends think you are a dork for playing so much on the computer?
Asia: Yeah. So? My pornoland compadres like to drink, do drugs, party, and other equally unconstructive pasttimes that just don't interest me. Yeah, I'm a geek, what can I say... But when my porno pals and I all turn 50, let's take a survey and see how many of us have sucessful non-porn careers and a financially secure future...

L4ZiE: Do you know any other porn girls that are into gaming? If so can you hook a brotha up?
Asia: Sorry, but I've never met another female computer geek who I could talk shop with in person, at least not in pornoland. Well, there IS Danni Ashe, but she's married, and she's never done any real porn.

L4ZiE: Who would win a 1v1 between you and Jenna Jameson?"

Asia: Is this a trick question? The only way Jenna would beat me in a fragfest is if a big hairy trucker was sitting at her computer pretending to be her. (isn't that what most pornstars do when they want to simulate an online presence? Trust me, behind nearly every pornstar who claims to run her own site, there's a big hairy trucker who doesn't mind answering emails as a perpetually horny female...)

L4ZiE: Who is uglier, Ron Jeremy or the monsters in Unreal?
Asia: I guess I'd say UT monsters, because Ron has a sweet personality that transcends his furry, flabby exterior.

L4ZiE: Do you like to talk trash when you're playing?
Asia: Oh yeah, I always joke that UT causes Touret's syndrome, because when I frag I'm constantly spewing barrages of cuss words at my monitor, but in normal life I rarely curse at all.

L4ZiE: Do you ever tell people who you are, and do they believe you?
Asia: UT doesn't really give you enough time to carry on any elaborate conversations, and I'm not into announcing my presence everywhere I go, so my identity really hasn't been an issue. Especially since I play in my own AsiaChat Battleground UT DM server most of the time, so if anyone wants to start shi* with me, I'll just boot their IP and let them apologize later... hehehe...

L4ZiE: Have you ever gotten so mad that you've slammed your keyboard and cussed out loud in an [9]unholy style fashion?
Asia: Yup.

L4ZiE: Do you tell people you're playing naked just to get the advantage?

Asia: No, but I will use my naked Asiabot skins during LAN games at home, and they're always great for a couple of distracting rounds against my opponents, hehehe!

L4ZiE: Do you ever hang out on IRC?
Asia: Nope.

L4ZiE: What's more exciting a good game of UT or the AVN awards?
Asia: UT, because the winner isn't decided by politics and ad dollars - UT is for real.

L4ZiE: Do you think computer gaming could ever be recognized as a REAL sport?
Asia: I can dream...

L4ZiE: Got any UT tips or tricks for the readers?
Asia: yeah, my loyal assistant dictator, me2, has taken the brains of a sidewinder pro joystick and combined them with a set of generic foot pedals, to make a device he calls the "Fragenstein 2000". he's actually made a couple of these gadgets so far, and he's patenting the idea right now... You can configure the foot pedals however you like, so while your hands are busy firing and dodging, your feet can be jumping, ducking, running, whatever you want them to do. With a bit of practice, gamers can perform quite a few more commands at any one time than with just a mouse and keyboard. Me2's so good with those damn pedals that I keep threatening to reconfigure one of them to reboot his computer every time he steps on it... hehehe...

L4ZiE: Anything you wanna plug?
Asia: not really... oh, I guess, check out my website if ya haven't seen it.
