LDespot: What did you do for SMG?
Susan Brookins: Kept coffee, soda and snacks in good supply and planned the "shipping" party.

LDespot: What are you working on for Alpha Centauri?
Susan Brookins: Same as SMG (except not the shipping party quite yet).

LDespot: How did you end up at Firaxis?
Susan Brookins: Jeff Briggs knew I liked to shop and organize so he asked if I wanted to help set up the office when Firaxis was getting started. Here I am -- still planning, shopping and organizing.

LDespot: Are there any suggestions you would have for someone trying to get a job in the game industry in a position similar to your own?
Susan Brookins: Keep networking -- 90% is whom you know.

LDespot: Is there anything else you would like to say to the gaming community (This is your chance to vent, praise, or babble to the world)?
Susan Brookins: Thanks for being there!
