on! And that gives me access to the beta as well, which I'm really looking forward to." At heart, though, Kat's a PlayStation girl, who games mostly on her PS4 console. "I've just recently gotten married, so it's hard to try and find as much time as I would like to play, but I'm currently going through Marvel's Spider-Man and I am having a blast. I can't wait to get into that properly, it's so much fun." With the overwhelmingly positive reception the Blackout and multiplayer betas received for Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII , pre-orders went crazy ahead of its release last month, and there are a few other titles on

the horizon also pre-ordering well. "Like I mentioned, Fallout 76 is pre-ordering well because people want to be able to check out the beta, but of course we're also getting heaps of pre-orders in for Red Dead Redemption II . I, personally, am also really looking forward to Anthem . It's got the writers on board from Dragon Age and Mass Effect, so I have a lot of faith in it." Kat can't wait for RDR2 – the first game which helped her bond with her (now) mother-in-law. Having converted her into a real gamer, she's now hoping to play Fallout 76 together. "She has hundreds of hours on Skyrim . It's great that we can do stuff like this together," says Kat. Working at JB has helped Kat to make a plethora of new friends – some she even invited to her recent wedding. "That's easily the best part of this job; meeting so many different people and making so many new friends, some of which I'm now super close with."

SHOP TALK

J B Hi-Fi Townsville is nestled right in the middle of an 'army town'. No points for guessing what Games Coordinator Kat Quinn tells us is the shop's best seller. "We shift a lot of Call of Duty and games like that thanks to the military focus up here. It's a real military town and that comes through in what the customers are buying." For Kat herself, she's a bit of a Bethesda tragic. Like one member of the STACK team (that will remain nameless), she too has a soft spot in her heart for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim , and is quite keen on this month's Fallout 76 – the new online multiplayer entry in the Fallout series. "I've pre-ordered it on three different platforms, just to cover all bases. You never know what your friends are going to be playing
