She's right to make a conscious effort to maintain her current image. It is the way she makes a living and as it's already been shown that ultra PC dickheads would just make her life miserable for doing it..
It shows she's intelligent and not easy pushed into making decisions that she isn't comfortable with. I dig that quite a bit.

Man alive.

I'd prefer a pictorial of someone more demure, perhaps Layla Kayleigh or even Jade Raymond.

Honestly, I have a lot of respect for the woman now. I mean we all love ass and titties but I also love integrity.

It's one thing to take a stand for your own comfort zone, another to go where you're expected to go beyond that comfort zone and make a fuss.
Not that it matters to me, I'm uninterested in Olivia Munn.
06/20/09
That makes a big difference, y'know.

@Deaf Mute: Maybe she got a better deal at Playboy, who knows? She's not the first person to not go completely nude for the magazine anyway, so I wouldn't say she's "making a fuss." If I were her agent and she got more money at Playboy (and undoubtedly more publicity) despite keeping her clothes on, I'd suggest her to go for it.
@EdG2: People use their body all the time, not everyone can be (or wants to be) a doctor or a lawyer. Models, actors, news reporters, etc all use their body to get places, but they can still have integrity. Just because it's Playboy and not Calvin Klein doesn't mean we can't acknowledge that she has some principles. In the end I guess it depends on one's own morals, and mine must not be too far from hers, and you're probably more conservative.

GOD. Thats an image.

Anyway, good for her. Nice photoshoot while sticking to her guns (no, there is no joke about "guns" in there, stop it). Do youngsters still say, "You go, girl!" ?
I don't watch her show, what with being in Europe and not knowing much about G4TV. Am I missing out on anything (you know, besides the obvious eye candy, which every other TV show seems to have plenty of anyway)?
06/20/09
If you'd asked that same question about 2 years ago, I'd have said yes, you're missing quite a bit.
Unfortunately, G4 has declined quite a bit in recent years, with some of its best programs going exclusive to the testosterone overload that is 'Spike TV,' and others simply canceled.
There was once a show called 'Icons' (later re-named 'Game Makers') which would, each episode, delve into the history of a person/product/developer in the gaming world. I fucking loved that show! ...But it got canceled.
At this point, there are really only two shows on G4: 'X-Play' and 'Attack of the Show.' X-play has tried pretty hard to improve its image over the years, and it has, and 'AOTS' is entertaining to watch, but aside from a bunch of unrelated programs and paid programing, that's all there is to it.

In the past 2 years, they'v been doing commercial free coverage of all of the E3 press conferences. So that's their redeeming quality.
06/20/09
Heh, proof that this Playboy pictorial is good publicity, because I was only vaguely aware of Olivia Munn's existence before Kotaku ran these pieces on her.
@StormShadowNF: Are you kidding? A whale?! Some people need a serious crash course on normal human anatomy. If that woman is "too big", every other person in industrialised countries is morbidly obese.
06/20/09
And I guess she made the right move? not showing anything since people would still imagine how she looks naked on the attack of the show, otherwise their rating would go down... slowly. (And I mean me)
06/20/09
I have no problem with the term 'nerd.'
I think it's pretty applicable to her audience.

Props for taking the road less traveled in Playboy, but talk about mixed signals.

From the situations I've seen on AotS, it seems like a lot of it is Pereira's fault. Accident or (probably) not. It seems like he takes any chance to grope her that he gets. Lol.
06/20/09
A man after my own heart.

If she were so worried about her naughty bits she would have just posed for Maxim or whatever.

Maybe then she'll panic and undress.
Not that I care. We don't get G4 over here so I didn't even know who she was before I came to Kotaku

I hope "hot gamer chicks" become as normal as "hot girls with guns".
Would love to see Some hot blondes holding a copy of Mass Effect 2.
06/20/09
It's not the same as "hot gamer chicks" though, because it is more like "hot girl getting paid to hold in game and pretend she likes it"
06/20/09
*Is a girl. Is good looking. Has a copy of Mass Effect, will buy Mass Effect 2. Is also blonde.*
But in all seriousness..... If/when that happens.... Guys will still be guys. And boobs will still be boobs, even when they're under clothes. Guys are still going to get excited when a good looking girl enjoys the same things they do, whether it's football, cars, video games, horror movies, or comic books.

I kinda meant them being strong icons in the media.
