Don't worry, EpicSteve. Most of us don't understand girls in general.
Jessica Chobot
Jessica Chobot is a writer on Zombie Studios' survival horror game Daylight and host of Nerdist News. Previously she worked at IGN as an on-air host.
I don't understand Jessica Chobot.
hey Steve i think this is one of those "sex sells" type things.
fundraising is one of the more difficult things to do in life; nothing worse than to walk into a storage room full of merchandise.
i mean you can have the most awesome package put together, let say like a phaser signed by kirk, spock, and bones. and you'd get crickets, nothing but f'ing crickets.
but auction off a bra worn by pam anderson from the set of barb wire. BAM you getting so many clicks you'd think it was the Busan leg of the South Korea National Starcraft tournament.
i think these marketers are really savy and they're capialising on the desparation of gamers like us. throw something sexual and the bait gets bitten everytime.
in terms of classy, i've seen some koemon breast walk thing where there's bumper stickers like save my ta-tas or something like i have a huge rack. stuff if a guy like me says would get slapped hard across the face.
Full Disclosure: I am a Chobot fan and hopefully I was obective, but I may have been biased even though I don't realise it myself. I don't like olivia munn and actually this art piece don't look too good imho, but to each it's own.
dude great quote at the end.

"The intentions were good, and it's easy for me to hate on the girl, but the way it's being promoted is an obvious ploy to grab headlines and the horny reader's attention. As I've said many, many times before, Jessica Chobot is one of life's greatest mysteries. Here is a girl that I am annoyed by and desperately attracted to. I simultaneously feel the urge to tell her off and stick my tongue down her throat. "
Wait, so this is an entire thread of people getting pissed about a chick who happens to be something of a celebrity in the video game industry making a bust of herself topless, having it painted to look like Kratos, and then auctioned off so the proceeds go to charity for breast cancer?
OH MY GOD, THAT'S SO TERRIBLE!
Look, whether you like her or not, that doesn't matter. Someone using their celebrity...and even their assets...in order to bring attention to a good cause is completely worthwhile. Moreover, who fucking cares if she decided to make a plaster bust of her tits?! THEY'RE HER TITS!!!
"OH MY GOD, SHE DID SOMETHING NAKED!" I'm pretty sure she has sex naked too!!! OMG!!!11!!11! I'll bet she even SHOWERS naked!!! ZOMFG!!! NO WAY!!!
T_T
You people can be so fucking stupid sometimes, it baffles me. Get over it.
As for the calls about Jessica's attractiveness/gamer cred/etc., that's all subjective opinions. Personally, I think she's just the right amount of cute, quirky, and goofy. Whether others like that or not is their own thing. = /
" Doing stuff for charity? What a whore! /SARCASM "
My thought exactly. Think about we all know
" Could someone please put a bullet in her now? And why is it so few women in games writing are even willing to try to get by on their own merit? Seriously, do any of them actually like videogames? "
theres a difference between not trying to get out there on your own merit, and being forced not too..Women like Jessica chobot have no choice in the matter, they are not allowed to work on their own merits because they are hot and people fixate on this.
