Also, to any who have seen media of the game: How on Earth is that the Source engine? It looks freaking phenomenal! Maybe a lot of it is the art style, but even technically it appears on par with the very, very best.

Man, April 21st can't get here soon enough. I would've paid $49.99 for the game just based on the two vids on the site alone. If it's half as cool as it looks, it'll be the best $10 I ever spent on games.

The games are phenomenal; half the reason I bought my PSX right there. 2-D gaming at it's best.

Seriously, I'm not going to drop the subject. PLAY THEM. I vouch for their goodness. If you play Oddworld and do not feel like you got your money's worth, you can punch me in the stomach. I will personally mail you a two-way plane ticket and pick you up at the airport myself, that's how much I believe in these titles.

So yeah...go on and get!

Oddworld worth it?

Women who play games are not rare.

Gamer women ARE. Then you try to factor out of the gamer women, how many are actually good looking, based on the percentage of gamer guys that are good looking.

The number you get is probably pretty small.

Then you figure, this is a playboy model. What are the odds?

Remember. This isn't just a chick playing video games. This is a gamer chick. Shes hardcore. Theres a strong, strong difference between that, and your World of Warcraft playing, Wiimote swingin pokemon collecting brain age tappin ds owning girl crowd.

I'll just ask you this.. lets say your hobby is rockclimbing... would you be interested in seeing a list of famous hot chicks who also have rockclimbing as a hobby?

 Reply

Yes, actually, I would. But rockclimbing is a poor example.

Lets say I was a big fan of extra terrestrial life. I beleived so much it was out there, that I would even go out to the desert to look for it at night.

People laugh at this sort of activity, no?

Then along comes Ms Mainstream Playboy telling the world that she also likes to do this. This excites me that someone in a position of popularity of sorts is willing to 'admit it', that they share a hobby with me.

Its like when you find out theres some Senator or Politician with a level 70 WoW character who grinds for gear every night. Thats pretty nerdy. But if you do the same thing, it looks pretty cool that we're coming to a time when people of importance are feeling comfortable enough to also 'come out of the closet' about having the same habit as you.

And thus, why hot playboy gamer girl is interesting. See?

I dont know how old you are, but Video Games once upon a time were pretty unpopular. Now, they're more popular, but its still hard to get girls into talking about/playing anything thats not mainstream enough to be 'normal'.

Ya dig?

You make an interesting point about coming out of the closet. That was exactly the premise I began with, that gaming is not a closet activity anymore. AAA game titles earn more money than AAA movie titles (GTA IV, TDK first fortnight collections can be compared to see GTA kicked the highest ever grossing movies ass)

 Reply

Gaming is not a closet activity.

But showing the level of gaming you do, by name dropping Oddworld of all things, is pretty unusual. Like RRRansom said, hell, try name dropping Oddworld to even most guys who call themselves 'gamers', and youll get a blank stare, let alone girls.

 Reply

Anyway I do respect your opinion on the matter, and I guess we should agree to disagree. I still don't think it's that big a deal..
