We are happy to bring you the finest in rare
and unedited interviews, with people you know
and love in the community.
She's Gupfee to you, but she's Marie Lamb to
us. And everywhere that Ms. Lamb went, we were
sure to follow. Yes, that was a really lame attempt
at connecting her last name to the classic 'Mary
Had A Little Lamb' nursery rhyme. We suck ass.

|
Well, Ms.
Lamb, you've been around the ARG circles for
quite a while now... what's been the thing
that's kept you actively participating for
such a long time? |
| gupfee: |
Besides a really good cable modem, I'd
say that I can't wait to see what all the
kooks come up with next. |
| gg.com: |
Hm... we heard it was
the nachos... in any case, you've been a rock.
Speaking of rock, what do you think about
the theme music for Chasing the Wish? Pretty
catchy, huh? |
| gupfee: |
Oh yeah, a real toe-tapper. At least it's
better than that Cybertrek
noise. |
| gg.com |
Have you ever been in
a rock and roll band, or, been a groupie for
either RATT or Skid Row? |
| gupfee: |
I actually used the phrase "I'm with
the band" once. It was embarassing, but
they were trying to kick me out of the bar. |
| gg.com: |
We're sure Steve Winwood
didn't want to see you go... we're curious
about the IRC handle, Gupfee... will you tell
us how it came about? |
| gupfee: |
Do I have to? |
| gg.com: |
Of course not. (read:
Stupid question, Burrows. You're such a dumbass)
So, what's been the most frustrating
thing about Alternate Reality Gaming for you
in the past year? |
| gupfee: |
Waiting for a damn game. We have all this
brainpower going soft because there is nothing
to work on. |
| gg.com |
So, if there was a game
available, would you play it? |
| gupfee: |
Absolutely. |
| gg.com: |
Have you ever considered
making a game of some sort yourself? |
| gupfee: |
Is this a trick question? |
| gg.com: |
Of course. (read:
Now you've got her on the ropes, Burrows.
Give it to her! Don't let up!) |
| gupfee: |
Then no, I haven't. |
| gg.com: |
Would you be surprised
to learn that you've been connected to several
game campaigns? In a PuppetMaster capacity,
that is. |
| gupfee: |
Oh really? People are that bored? Do tell. |
| gg.com: |
So, you're saying that
GupfeeOnParade.org
is not your own ARG endeavor? |
| gupfee: |
You just made that up. |
| gg.com: |
Would we make that sort
of thing up? We're reputable. We have our
sources! (read: Burrows, you're crashing,
your burning... get the hell out of here!) |
| gupfee: |
I'm one of your sources. |
| gg.com: |
We're confused and cold.
Hold us? |
| gupfee: |
So when is your crack journalism staff going
to reveal the genius behind www.chasingthefish.com? |
| gg.com: |
Well, with a handle like
Gupfee, we thought you might
have something to do with that as
well. (read: Jesus, Burrows, she knows
about the crack! I knew that taking that hit
an hour ago would cost us! Mayday! Mayday!
Hello pretty purple squirrel!) |
| gupfee: |
I can only dream of doing HTML that well--have
you seen my livejournal? Pathetic. |
| gg.com: |
Yes, well, you know *our*
opinion of LiveJournal. What do you think
about the TOOC system? Does it have a place
in ARG chat? |
| gupfee: |
The TOOCs are awesome--possibly the greatest
form of tribute ever invented. When you make
the TOOCs, you have made the ARG scene, or,
you have needlessly embarrassed yourself.
I'm still trying to decide. |
| gg.com: |
We never have to make the distinction between
embarrassment or fame, they go hand in hand
for us... Any insights into the ARG universe
you could offer to a "newbie"? |
| gupfee: |
Newbies who have experienced abuse in other
chatrooms should come to #unfiction, where
the nachos are always fresh and the chat is
always friendly. |
| gg.com: |
Excellent... I guess you could say the ARG
world has you 'hooked', huh GUPfee? |
| gupfee: |
Have you seen my filet knife? |
