When she's not out fighting crimes against geekdom using her gaming powers for good or reading the latest Wonder Woman, she's working her magic as Social Media and Gaming Editor at Techlife, or acting, or modelling, or... whatever.   (http://www.rawdlc.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/thumbnail.png)Danii 'Facelips' Johnstone is a Writer, Musician, Improv Comic and Gamer since the age of 4. She can often be found playing retro games from her childhood. She loves playing pranks (and is damn good at it), her fancy dress costume of choice is always zombie/zombie hunter and she often screams ‘LEEEEERROOOOOOOOOOOOOOY JENKINS!’ while playing competition dodgeball.
