Strange Bedfellows — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 08:47:00 MDT

@CalcioFool: I think he's referring to the fact that he hasn't been with Naughty Dog for a while now, and hasn't been doing games. He's kind of a comic book guy now, from what I understand, and doing internet stuff, but he's been away from the game development for a piece.

Surely this is some other random man also named Jason Rubin and they've just gotten him mixed up with the ex-Naughty Dog guy? That man has too many muscles to have ever had anything to do with gaming.

PS <3 Sophie.

Didn't say he wasn't awesome and had been in the industry since pretty much the beginning. :)

..but he left Naughty Dog is 2004. I consider 4 years to be a while.

Jason Rubin hasn't really been in the industry for a while now (but of course props to him for forming Naughty Dog).

He's more of an entrepreneur in internet apps now.

I'm actually guilty of watching a movie with Sophie Monk, then looking her up in the credits and visiting her website, once. Sorry gamers, couldn't fight the urge.[

I'm pretty sure Shannen Doherty was dating someone from Pandemic.

The industry needs a Star Magazine. Jade Raymond is dating Cliffy B? Will Wright's Advice for Finding Mr. Right? I call that a guilty pleasure.

I don't mind an unusual paparazzi post on Kotaku every now and then (and even if I did, who cares?), but I shure hope it doesn't turn into a trend.
Because I seriously don't give a rats ass about the personal lives of game designer celebrities... it's bad enough the excessive coverage on hollywood celebrities (not here though, thanks God).

@A_Zombie: Sorry. I secretly check this Kotaku everyday for GTA IV updates. I had to laugh when I saw Sophie's name here. Best press she's had in the States, where she's still trying to make a name for herself.

I'll go back to my GTA porn.

@Mike Fahey: Hmm, if celebrities can get their own tags here on Kotaku, can I get my own since I came out in two movies as an extra? :p

Think about the starpower I add to Kotaku! ;)

@Samos42: Which is what I thought too.

And just to make this post dirtier - Sophie Monk used to date Josh Lucas, who I believe did the voice of one of Wing Commander games.

It's really nice to see people in the games industry not being regarded as antisocial nerds, at least down under.

There's this guy I know, whom when I went clubbing with and we were chatting up the ladies, got really pissed off at when he misheard me and thought I said that we worked in the gaming industry (which we do).

Big taboo for him, apparently, but I couldn't give a hoot. He's got this idea that no woman can ever find anyone in the gaming industry remotely interesting. It's just sad how someone in the industry could view himself in a way that most people in society would not even consider.

Maybe he enjoys living in the 1980s, but I think he's a smarmy jackass.

The way I see it, if a person immediately finds another unattractive because of his or her profession, he or she certainly aren't worth the time. Good filter, that.

It seems like with each passing year as video games grow in popularity, video game designers want to live more like rock stars.

Isn't it possible she could be doing voicework for some upcoming Naughty Dog game? She is supposed to be an actress after all.

Would you mind giving me Sophie's address? I'm going to write her a letter:

"Dear Sophie Monk,

Who the hell is Sophie Monk...?

Does this mean we're going to be seeing Kotaku sitting alongside Cleo and Cosmopolitan in the shopping aisle now?

How to beat your boyfriend at Halo 3!
What your Mii says about you!
PS3 in game XMB support announced - should you change your makeup to match?

And

Ken Levine talks to Oprah about the new BioShock.
