Join MaXit as we probe into Asia Carrera in our exclusive interview. Game geek and adult porn star. It's a dream come true!

Think geek and probably the first image to pop into mind would be a person with vampire white skin, thick glasses, mum knitted tanktops and a bad case of acne. So if I told you the hottest babe on the planet was a self confessed computer nerd you'd probably think YYSSW (yeah, yeah, sure, sure, whatever). Well it's true I tell you. If you've been online fragging away on Unreal Tournament servers, chances are that you've probably had your ass whipped by mega adult superstar and cyberbabe Asia Carrera. The dark hair, buxom silver screen goddess has spiced up sex lives and raised blood pressures with a number of hit porn films such as 'A is for Asia' and 'Appassionata. Now retired from the industry, Asia spends all her time fixing computers and html coding her hugely successful website. maXit recently caught up with Asia to find out more about her love of computers and passion for rocket launchers...

Q. Could you introduce yourself, tell us your age, job description and a little bit about yourself? Do you have any pets, hobbies or wild burningambitions? What kind of things help you wind down after a long day?

Hi, I'm Asia Carrera, webmaster, geek, and recently retired pornstar. I'm 30 years old, I'm married to nutritionist and fitness guru Don Lemmon and we live in Hawaii together, where I'm currently pregnant with my first baby, due in mid-March.

Q. Congratulations! That's great news. Now let's get straight to the point. Computers. You are a self confessed PC Junkie with a passion for HTML, rocket launchers and headshots. How on earth can a piece of plastic, glowing screen and a copy of Unreal Torunament turn on a gorgeous babe like yourself.

I got addicted to Unreal Tournament because it's just great fun to come home and kick some ass after taking ordersall day long on set. Especially if I had to put up with a diva pornstar's antics all day - I'll come home and name a bot after her on my server, and let everyonerip into her online! Hehehe! I also got a big kick out of designing my own bots for the game - topless bots that distract all my opponents long enough for me to get the advantage! Hehe!!

Q. If you could have any computer in the world, what would be your ultimate dream machine? Intel or AMD. ATI or Nvidia? What computer do you currently run at the moment?

I'm AMD all the way because they sent me a fully-tricked out system for my birthday one year. I use ATI on one computer for vidcap and editing stuff, and Nvidia cards on the rest of my computers for gaming.

Q. What's your favourite computer shop and if you could have anything out of it what would it be?

My favorite computer store is Fry's megastore (only on the West Coast, I'm afraid), and if I could have anything I wanted out of it, it would be to be locked in the store after hours, so I could play with ALL thetoys, all night long!! I have dreams about living in Fry's!! LOL!

Q. There is a multibillion dollar industry for turning a boring old computer case into a souped up, custom painted, liquid neon, bad ass number cruncher. Do you think it is possible for computers to be considered sexy by the female sex in the same way as Porsche or Ferrari? How about sex on a computer case. Hot or not?

I've attached a picture of my computers that I built. I think it's pretty sexy, don't you? : )

Q. You design and run your own website - www.asiacarrera.com. How did you go about bridging the gap between mega adult film star to successful webmistress?

All it took was being an adult film star with the initiative to build a website of my own before the rest of the industry caught on to the whole internet thing. The combination of being one of the first ones online, plus one of the VERY few doing it all by myself, was all the gimmick I needed. I never really had to become a "webmistress extraordinaire" with all the latest technological bells and whistles on my site, because my fans were only coming by to see pics of me, to read my latest bulletins, or just to get to know me better - so I laid it all out there for 'em, plain and simple! And they liked it that way! : )

Q. Do you have any advice or tips for anybody wanting to setup and run a successfull website?

K.I.S.S. - Keep It Simple, Stupid! People want to find what they're looking for with a minimum of hassle, so no pop-ups and banner ads cluttering the site, no mandatory downloads before people can view the pics or vid clips, and most people HATE to read, so keep the text minimal, witty, and to the point!

Q. Do you edit all your own pictures and graphics and write your own HTML code? Care to recommend any software applications?

Yes I edit all my pictures myself, and I make all my own graphics myself also. I do everything in Photoshop, and I am a Photoshop wizard, if I do say so myself! : ) (I reviewed Photoshop 7 for MaximumPC magazine last April, not as a celebrity or anything, just hired as a regular reviewer) I also write my own HTML (and yeah it's a little sloppy, so don't look at it LOL!!) so I can't recommend an HTML program because I do my HTML in notepad. <--- yes, I am a geek.

Q. How about favourite websites - any essential surfing destinations or sites that inspire you?

No, I don't really have the time to just surf around idly, although I wish I did. I keep my website as my homepage on Netscape, and CNN.com as my homepage on Internet Explorer.

Q. Now you have a reputation as a bit of a l33ter frag babe with an itchy trigger finger for the Unreal Tournament series. What's your favourite weapon and do you have any tips or favourite tactics you like to use in game?

I like the rocket launcher. Only thing I hate about rockets is when I miscount while loading up rockets, and they let go when I'm facing the wall LOL!! I like playing Capture the Flag, but I swap from defense to offense depending on what the team needs. I like smaller maps where I can be everywhere at once!

Q. Are there any new games you are looking forward to playing - HalfLife 2, Doom 3? Anything tickle your fancy?

Nope, I just play UT - no time to learn new games!

Q. LAN Parties tend to be a male dominated with prize money at some events reaching up to a million dollars. Why do you think girls haven't become more involved in the sport? What do guys say when they find out they have just been fragged by Asia Carrera?

Girls aren't taught to play with guns, they're taught to play with Barbies. However I never had a Barbie doll as a kid, and my nickname in high school was "Butch", so I'm perfectly comfortable running aroundwith a Redeemer in my grubby paws. Guys might not like the idea of getting beat by a girl initially, but when they see me in there fragging every day, and usually finishing in the top 3 every game, then they don't take it personally if I whup their butt.

Q. You recently retired from the adult entertainment industry much to the despair of all your fans. Would anything tempt you to make a comeback?

Probably not. I don't wanna have to explain to my kid that Mommy's moonlighting as a pornstar while he/she's at school, y'know? Luckily my husband has a good job, so I can play mommy fulltime without having to worry about going back to work.

Q. If Bill Gates, the Microsoft billionaire, rang you up and said, Asia I'm a huge fan, lets make a movie together. M is for Microsoft or Bill Boots Up Asia." Would you do it?

ROFLMAO!!! Well, how much is he offering? I may be retired, but I'm not STUPID! ROFL!!(Bill if your listening get your cardigan on - you've pulled for a billion dollars)

Q. You have made some great adult films during your career. What's your favourite feature and why is it special?

"Appassionata" is my baby. I wrote it, directed and produced it, starred in it, played classical piano throughout, sat through the editing, designed the boxcover, and was one of the 3-man team that authored the double-disk DVD release. It got a whoppin' 10 nominations at the AVN Awards show in Vegas, including Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Music, and Best DVD.

Q. What's the funniest thing that has happened to you on the set of a film during a shoot?

Ummm... we were shooting a scene in a limo, and they SWORE we couldn't be seen from the outside of the car, so off we drove down the 101 freeway in Los Angeles at rush hour, shooting our sex scene. As the sun went down, they turned on lights in the limo so the cameras could see better, and guess who was visible for miles around without realizing it?? We didn't catch on until a couple trucks started keeping pace with the limo, and the drivers were staring down at us and cheering us on. As soon as I saw THAT I yanked my clothes over me and demanded they turn the lights off, QUICK!!

Q. LoL. What's the weirdest thing you have been asked to do by a director. Is there anything you'd put your foot down at?

Oh god, the list goes on and on. Every director wants to be different, so they're always coming up with something stupid. Jenna and I had to do each other with fencing swords in "Hell on Heels". That was pretty stupid, and dangerous. The director yelled at us to "put some energy into it!" and we told him if he wanted us to go faster, he could speed the footage up in the edit bay. We weren't dicing ourselves into ribbons for his benefit!

Q. They say a girl's best friend is her vibrator. What sex toy would you recommend for guaranteed satisfaction?

I guess the little white pocket rocket, but I'm not really a fan of toys. They don't feel real, and they're not necessary in my sex life.

Q. If you were to be stranded on a Desert Island for the rest of your life and you could only have three items to take with you, what would they be?

My computer, my husband, and my cat.

Q. Anything you'd like to say to all the guys over in the UK?

I was 3 weeks away from moving to England last fall, house packed up, plane tickets bought, ready to go... when I met my husband-to-be, and he sweet-talked me into scrapping my plans for England to move to Hawaii with him instead. So close, so close... but can you blame me?? : )

Q. Finally, our readers love seeing a beautiful babe sitting on top of a hot computer case. How about posing for a picture and being responsible for the first UK internet crash?

You'll just have to all come along to my site for some really hot pics
