Oh shit, I nearly let that mega man trailer slip by today. The actor who plays Roll creeps me out though.

Wait, she does hardcore?

FANTASTIC!

Yes. Yes, it is.

Now come on, I did not need to see Justine Joli
frontpaged again. Keep your porn out of my video games, please.
I understand that video games are a typically male pastime but it seems to be that game designers and gamers alike would like to see more women involved. Why is it then that, rather than welcoming women into a community that is potentially intimidating to newcomers, we ostracize them through continued objectification? Where the other Left 4 Dead characters get creatively written analyses, Zoey is reduced to her breasts. Rather than talking about the games they produce, any post about UbiSoft invariably centres around Jade Raymond, the sole reason being that she has "bewbs." Sure, I understand the basic biological imperative that drives us to reproduce, and how we perceive certain physical attributes as representative of reproductive viability, and blah blah blah evolutionary psychology, but I don't understand why it's acceptable to deny anyone their humanity and reduce them to a single (or very limited set of) attribute(s). We are more than our instinct. Just as we have come far enough technologically to make incredibly complex pieces of software to run on incredibly complex machines, I can only hope that we've come far enough to have interactions beyond the four Fs (feed, fight, flee, f...ornicate).
What irks me the most is how accepted this is in this community. Please, show some respect. Women are more than their bodies and I can only hope that the present values of this community shift as female gamers become more and more mainstream. Maybe, one day, a female gamer will be able to game with others and be treated simply as such. A gamer. Nobody trying to chat her up or trade "pixx" or going nuts over the fact that she has a profile picture posted. Just a person playing a game, enjoying it in the company of others. That would be nice, wouldn't it?

I wholeheartedly agree LostSoulDX. XD

I will stop reading if we do not have more porn stars featured on the front page.

David Quinn Carder said what I wanted to say but in a better and nicer way than what I was going to say. Cheers David!

You raise some good points, Reberk, but -- in my personal opinion -- I don't think they're as applicable here as they may otherwise be.

Would the Nerdcore coverage be focused on awesome tittage if Justine Joli wasn't there with her top off, straddling people? Probably not. Half-naked geek/porn star chicks tend to garner this type of response. If she'd remained fully-clothed (like other women at the event) then I seriously doubt she would be all that sexualized in the article.

Let's put it this way: if Chad was walking around naked at the event then I'm sure he would have been perceived differently as well.

I just came in here to post "Boobs"

I used to love her before I got a real girlfriend.
