An Interview with Miss DeVille
by the Red Ninja of Afro-Squad.com

Alright Miss DeVille, how are you doing today? Pretty better. Getting over a nasty cold!

I am sorry to hear that you were sick.  When you are not sick, where can people see you perform?  Anywhere over the North-east! I wrestle pretty much in all New England, and New York.

I have heard that you sometimes break dance in the ring.  What fly dance moves to you perform for the crowd?   I am a fan of the pop & lock and just doing the robot. The worm is also a favorite.

What are some of your favorite in-ring moves? I have two moves that I do regularly.  One is a Swanton from the top rope which is my finisher. Then I have a submission which is a form of an STF, but I do a bridge over the person, locking their legs and put them in a chinlock.

Haven’t you used a gimmick where you are a lady pimp?  Can you tell us about that?  While doing my rap/ghetto gimmick I’d do some shows that would want me to soften up my gimmick a bit. Some feds it was too gimmicky for, so I’d do the lady pimp gimmick which is basically boas, shades, i can still break dance and come out to rap and I was all set.

Have you ever considered wearing an afro wig to the ring?  Don’t you think it would fall off?

I’ve never had any problems with mine.  Anyway, what do you do outside of wrestling?  I work two jobs! Waitress on nights, and work at Old Navy during the days. I love to work out and hang out with friends other than that.

A lot of divas now-a-days are models and not wrestlers.  What do you think that is doing to the industry?  I personally think it is kind of hurting the industry for the women specifically that want to actually get out there and wrestle. I don’t even see that many girls on TV that can actually take a hip-toss or an arm drag, which is sad because there are so many talented girls on the INDY scene that deserve a chance.

It also seems that very few women can make it to the WWE without breast implants.  Do you think that is healthy for the industry?  I don’t feel every girl should feel obligated to get breast implants when getting a WWE contract. If they want to get breast implants, that is a different story. I know they love there women beautiful and busty though, it does make ratings.

What are your thoughts on steroid abuse in the industry?  Do you think a tough drug policy in the major companies would save lives? This basically ties into the breast implant question. Many guys have to be big and muscular, and a lot of them depend on steroids to get them there. It’s unfortunate though, because it does ruin health in the long run.

Don’t you have a website?  Will you tell us about it? Yeah, my website www.missdeville.cjb.net has been up for a few years. Good friend and tag team partner of mine Kayla Sparks runs it. She is amazing with website/graphics.

Do you have anything to ask us? How did you think of the name of your site Ninja pimp? It’s frickin’ awesome!

Well, my editor Mervin came up with it. He pointed out that Ninja and Pimps are totally sweet.  I agreed and Afro-Squad was born.  Good question.  Thanks for your time.

Companionship can be tricky business, especially when it involves hunting down and killing murderous witches that are intent on exacting bloody vengeance on all humanity. In Knights Contract, you play as an immortal executioner named Heinrich, who tears through his unholy enemies with a fearsome scythe-bladed, hammer-headed weapon. Your companion is Gretchen, a witch who hunts her fallen kin and supports Heinrich with a deadly array of spells. With their powers combined, you cut a bloody swath across the medieval world, engaging enemies in gruesome and satisfying combat. At its best, Knights Contract lets you revel in the brutal action and intriguing world design. At its worst, it confounds you with cheap deaths, ruthless quick-time events, and mazelike levels. Knights Contract is not a journey for the faint of heart, but those willing to suffer some hardships will ultimately find satisfaction in a world well saved.

Being cursed with immortality is a pretty rough gig, it seems, and Heinrich is eager to shuffle off his mortal coil. So when a witch named Gretchen comes around and offers to do just that, he agrees to accompany her on her quest. You soon find out that the two have a history that is intricately entwined with that of the evil witches devoted to destroying humanity. Though the writing is often lackluster, the tale that unfolds is an interesting one, and as Heinrich and Gretchen unearth the betrayals of the past, there are some intriguing revelations and touching moments. The two don’t have much chemistry, but the story draws you in and works well. And though they don’t match the excellent animation of the videos that run when you let the game linger on the title screen, each new cutscene is a welcome one.

Throughout the majority of Knights Contract, you play as Heinrich. Using light and heavy attacks in conjunction with grapples and dodges, you slash and smash your way through legions of enemies using a weapon that is part scythe, part hammer, and part switchblade. Combos are easy to string together and don’t get much more involved than a certain number of light attacks followed by a certain number of heavy attacks. There isn’t a lot of complexity here, and it sometimes feels like just a step or two above simple button mashing. Despite this simplicity, you are encouraged to master Heinrich’s moves. A combo ranking system gives bonuses that can be used to increase your power, and end-of-level score breakdowns and online leaderboards provide a competitive outlet for motivated players. The clangs of smashed armor and squishes of sundered flesh provide additional rewards of their own.

While it is inherently satisfying to carve up baddies, combat wouldn’t be nearly as enjoyable without Gretchen lending her magical prowess to your onslaughts. She is an AI character and will defend herself with a few small spells, but you choose when she unleashes the good stuff. These magical attacks can entwine enemies in thorny vines or impale them with spikes. They can magnify your scythe to a bigger size or create a succession of shadow scythes so that one swing hits four times. Catching an enemy in these attacks makes you feel even more powerful because your skills are magically compounded. You eventually unlock more spells than you can fit in the four available slots, so you have to choose which ones you want equipped at what time. Not every enemy or boss is susceptible to the same magic, and finding the right spell can make combat easier and bloodier. As you earn souls from killing enemies, you can upgrade your spells to make them even nastier, so that single phantom sword can turn into a deadly parade of swords that chases your enemies around the arena.

So that’s what cutting a swath looks like!

Assaulting your foes with magical and martial attacks is gratifying, and executing gruesome finishers puts an exclamation point on the whole affair. When you hit a weakened enemy with a magical attack, a button prompt gives you a chance to finish with style. That toothy trap you laid suddenly becomes a chomping, devouring maw, and those swords impale your enemies and split them into bloody chunks. Finding the right finisher for the right situation can boost your combo rating, earning you more souls and pouring points into your witch point gauge. Once this gauge is full, you can choose who gets to unleash it. If you choose Heinrich, he turns into a hulking minotaur that can dish out a huge amount of damage in a short time. If you choose Gretchen, she immediately makes all (or almost all) of your foes vanish from the screen. Well, not quite immediately. First, your enemies are transported to a formless blue realm. Then, they are struck down by a giant blue naked Gretchen. Her action might be simple, like closing her fist on the enemies in the palm of her hand, or it might be more provocative, like crushing the enemies positioned on her knee by crossing her leg a la Basic Instinct. There’s an array of poses that big blue Gretchen can strike, but almost all of them involve a degree of nudity that, while not quite explicit, certainly is immodest.

   If anyone should be able to keep from violating a morality clause in a contract, you’d think a TV evangelist could. But a Lake Mary book publisher is suing faith healer Benny Hinn for violating the clause by having an “inappropriate relationship” with fellow TV evangelist Paula White, OrlandoSentinel.com reports.

   The National Enquirer published photos of them in Rome, holding hands, while Hinn was undergoing a divorce, causing Hinn to use the squishy “inappropriate relationship” term.

   Strang Communications wants back $250,000 of its $300,000 advance to Hinn for Blood in the Sand. It also says he didn’t live up to contractual obligations to promote the book.
