Day two is, well, it just about wrapped up. So we have a ton of new impressions, stories, videos and images to write up for you. Today was the first day open to the public, but the crowds still hadn't reached the fevered pitch expected Friday and Saturday. There were, as expected, many more booth babes strolling the hall, including a topless woman whose body had been painted to make it look like she was wearing a camisole of some sort.

Pictures of the painted girl plz, k, thx.
Ya baby, pure sweetness
Painted booth babe...heh.
I like the ones playing...what the hell are they doing? [kotaku.com]
Eh, they're fine tho. I wish I wouldn't have so much on my schedule right now so I could pay them a visit. :P
If only girls were attracted to gamers.
great, boobfest.. let me try to curb my enthusiasm.
@zeta21: Uh, they are...
@Kuraudo: Not any more than any other group.
Wow. Is that one fellow (in one of the topless camisole girl pics) actually shooting video from approximately two inches from her nipple? Sadly, this man has probably never seen a real, live girl nipple before, and needs to document the proof. Even more sadly, he's probably got bigger boobs than her.
@SirCletus: I was equally shocked. Btw, some of the new babepics are awesome. Didn't expect that good ones for Leipzig. GC ftw
shouldn't that painted girl be japanese? that looks more like what they'd go for.
@Krytha: No less either :/
Brunette in the white, very nice.
They were all butterfaces, except for the second to last girl. Sorry If I don't have low standards like most other geeks.
That's why I carry two paper bags around with me at all times. One for the girl, and one for me if she thinks I need it.
Aaah, female objectification - the language that transcends all borders.
It just bothers me that most of those girls likely have little to no concern with games at all. I mean c'mon find hot girls who love games if that is what you are advertising. Or, better yet, don't!
@kcorbo: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder i say.
@zeta21: don't mess with a dream
You really that it is OK to take more than photo so that you have good ones to post. All these girls look like they're probably hot if they weren't caught completely by surprise.
Or you could just finish the effect and make them chew food with their mouth open while you take the pictures.
At least we can all get our cheap thrills with these booth babes, unlike the bizarre restrictions they placed on E3.
@kcorbo: In their defense, some girls don't photograph that well, and the dark background with harsh flashes is really unflattering for face shots. But whatever. I appreciate the spirit of the booth babery much more than any particular model present.
I would do...so many things to the blonde in the yellow top.
@geekgrrl:
Never seen anyone painted like that in Japan. Japanese campaign girls are actually usually a lot more fully dressed than any of these girls. They're just regular college girls, not strippers or even "models".
Not sure if this is gonna work, but I took these photos at TGS 2000 (I'll be back again this year): [www.jwnyc.com]
Don't worry, I find it just as annoying as you do how I named all the files "somethingbabe". But I'm not gonna bother changing it now.
The funny thing is how they're all trained in posing for the cameras. They're there to get their picture taken. I'm not sure if it's the same at other shows like Leipzig. At E3, I know most of the girls saw it like a day off and would just stand around chatting with each other, oblivious to everybody else. At TGS, if you ask to take their picture, they smile and hold up whatever marketing trinket they're assigned to carry. Or they just put on their "cute face", like the Tokimeki Memorial girl did. But they definitely want to make it into publications and blogs; it's part of what they're hired for.
btw I took those photos for the web site I worked for at the time, not just for my own amusement.
@zeta21:
Awww. It's sad that you think that way. Besides the sheer amount of videogaming, it's one of the reasons I love going to conventions. Tons of guys to talk to who have the same hobby as me. Can't get any better than that. Next stop PAX then E for All.
@$atanyoka:
I thought it was 'beauty is in the eye of the BEER holder.'
@zeta21:
Too True Too True :(
@zeta21: My girl likes gamers, and she has huge boobs (and is thin) -- so, it does happen :P
This kinda stuff makes me really miss the old E3.
Is it just me or do almost all of them have that "please god let me find a razor blade on the floor so I can slit my wrists and escape this hell" look behind their eyes?
-p-
@badasscat: i stand corrected. they really get into it over there, don't they? they had more of a fresh-faced, cute beauty, too. the booth babes in the post look more like extras for beer commercials.
@jayntampa: does she appreciate you describing her as such to a cadre of horny geeks? i'd be a bit pissed if my bf did that.
@geekgrrl: Actually, it doesn't bother her at all ... otherwise, she wouldn't have put a bikini pic of her boobs on MySpace -- she kind of hates the stereotypes of gamer/geek girls.
@geekgrrl:
Yeah I much prefer the look of TGS's campaign girls to any of the western shows or even some of the other Asian shows, where they do use professional models. Like I said, the TGS girls are just regular girls, most of whom just happen to be cute.
And after I looked at some of my pics again, some of them *are* actually pretty scantily clad, but I still can't imagine anyone walking around in nothing but paint. It would be a huge controversy. In fact, something similar happened when NHK had their New Year's show last year and one of the acts featured dancers in realistic bodysuits - it made the national news and forced NHK to apologize. They weren't even really naked!
This is why I don't bring up my hobby with people I've just met.
@perrinbar: Attention whores don't care about anything other than getting attention. You could put them in an add for PETA naked and they'd go for it... oh wait...
I would like to shaiten on their chesten
Now this girls already look clearly cuter already (mostly). I like the bodypaint girl! (she still wears a slip, though).
Thanks for taking half a dozen pics of her, Brian.
They're still not as cute as many Tgs girls though, especially the Tokimemo girl:
[www.jwnyc.com]
So, new poll.
How many of you typed your comment with one hand?
Better than the last set of pictures, but still... only a few attractive ones, imho.
But whatever, I'd still talk to them about games. :3 Most of them got pretty rawkin' bods.
Is it just me or do some of the chicks come off as looking kind of...mannish? It may just be me though.
