David Lawrence: I don*t know if you ever drive by their building but realize that that is the gateway to the Ninth Circle of Hell. Now another cool thing about San Antonio is Rackspace is in San Antonio and you may from time to time be playing across Rackspace*s servers because they have more bandwidth than anyone in the known universe and it*s all flowing into San Antonio. In fact it used to be May east and the May west. San Antonio Rackspace is the #1 managed server place in the world.

Marcela: Wow.

David Lawrence: They have server space in San Antonio and Washington DC and in London that's where our servers are for the shows.

Marcela: That*s what we need for live play.

David Lawrence: Yeah exactly and they love that stuff I mean they have a lot of servers. Rackspace is sort of the upper-tier ISP. So when you guys play games you mostly play FPSs right?

Marcela: We are for an FPS clan that*s correct. Right now we might be expanding in some of the other games but at this point we are FPS.

There are some girls who love workouts on that so hey I am not going to hold them.

Why?

Marcela: Well back when we first formed two years ago was in the first UC game. It was the first, First-Person Shooter that was on Xbox live because we are on Xbox live team and it was exactly what you were just saying. The first things were get back in the kitchen, make me a sandwich I bet you are 300 pounds with a moustache.

David Lawrence: I can assure you Amber has removed whatever moustache you may have and is much, much less than 300 pounds and is not in the kitchen.

Marcela: Actually--

David Lawrence: But I wouldn*t mind if you made me a sandwich.

Marcela: Oh I thank you maybe I will someday.

David Lawrence: There you go, so you were saying--

Marcela: And they just say that and that was kind of*
