Some Excerpts
Do you run a Tomb Raider fansite or blog? If so, what would you say was your biggest achievement to date?
I do! It’s called Casey Croft. I know, real clever, right? ;) It’s brand new, but my biggest achievement is already meeting so many wonderful people from the Tomb Raider fansite community. TR fans are seriously the best and I wish I had joined the community sooner.
How has Tomb Raider changed your life?
Back then, it certainly changed what I thought was possible in a video game. I think it also helped break the ice for developers creating some pretty bad-ass female heroes and protagonists. And come on, who didn’t wanna be Lara growing up? ;)
What are your thoughts on Lara’s image? Is she simply the product of a sexist gaming industry or can she be seen as a positive role model?
I love Lara’s classic image, but I love her new image even more. She’s more “real” and relatable now. I wouldn’t say Lara’s character is the product of a sexist gaming industry as she has always been a strong, independent beautiful woman, but her new form seems to be the product of a more evolved gaming industry, as her character focuses more on her personality and her journey, rather than her appearance.
