Trying not to sound like an asshole, but what's the writing and editing process for Kotaku?

I'm more curious than bothered by the spelling errors. Blogs are a lot different from formal news sites, so I was wondering.

On topic, though, I want this game so badly I can taste it. I was obsessed with the first game and played it nonstop. I managed to finish it for all but those stupid Keepers you have to find on the Citadel and the expansion packs. All within a week.

Sounds like the game The Borne Identify should have been.
I'm looking forward to this.

When you consider theyre just standing around looking good, and not having any knowledge of what theyre selling... its a pretty easy dollar, given the state of the economy.

Consider this: The one on the right (Bobbi Starr) probably makes more than that for 3 hours of work.

@hodayathink: Stoya's personal Android developer: I'm not doubting you (I Googled her and it looks like her to me), but it seems an odd match from both ends. She would certainly make more staying in porn, and why would an agency or the developer risk having a porn star on stage promoting their product?

@SinisterBill and Jalad at Tanagra: It is her, a bunch of people have already confirmed that and there was an article on Kotaku about it during the convention.

What risk would be posed a porn star promoting a video game? She's not naked and the game isn't (exclusively) for kids. Those two things evaporate any kind of issue that could be raised. I seem to remember ad space in magazines a few years back with Tera Patrick promoting a clothing line.

As to why she would be doing this when she could be potentially making more? I don't know that. It either makes financial sense for her somehow or she was otherwise convinced.

@Yertle8: Your always dealing with issues when you talk porn cross-over's and I wouldn't want an IP of mine associated with porn because it might cost me money. Otherwise why don't you see it more often? If the game is a hit, I doubt you'll be seeing her in a both again.

$560-$700 a week? Apparently that's not the only support they need!

Sigh... I'll be here all week, I guess.

@Atomsk88: Well the girl on the right is normally "super slut of the year" for her day job.

Meaning she had to take a week off from being the slut of the year.

Meaning she is now only "slut of most of the year."

@Saiwyn Hy: The funny part is during her week off she went from super-slut of the year to floozie of the week.

The really funny part is that she didn't necessarily have to take the week off.

People like her provide a valuable service to the lonely and men with frigid spouses, you know.

My girlfriend does it all the time at those Renaissance Festivals. She likes it, so I guess the cash is a plus.

@DariusEnigma:
Yeah, but on a WAG, I'd think a medieval wench outfit would be all kinds of more comfortable for the ladies than a vinyl catsuit, even if the latter involves AC (because, seriously, a room packed full of overweight, sweaty people who are allergic to personal hygiene is a bit beyond what simple AC can fix).

That's just part and parcel of ren fairs. We stopped at one on the way back from GenCon back when it was still in Milwaukee, and there was a wench working a bent-steel puzzle booth that had, scrawled over her cleavage, "Buy two, they're better in pairs."

Some of you guys amuse me with the Uncharted 2 hate. The game so far looks like pure gold, and it's in the right hands. Amy Henning is an awesome director.

Oh right, they actually played Left 4 Dead 2.

@CatsAkimbo:

You know what? I could settle for this. I'll give it a shot.

If they've put in a melee, fixed (a wide array of) online multiplayer issues, and continue game support, I'd be more than willing to pay full price for it. A high quality game.

That would mean, of course, they really should fix the framerate as well.

Man, look at Uncharted go! I'll be picking it up of course, but the thing I'm really happy about is to see Scribblenauts get some well-deserved recognition in two categories.
