Title: Watch out girls, your spot may be usurped...

Apparently Playboy is sticking game charcters in their magazine now. How long will it be until U.S. porn stars are usurped by those animated, jiggly freaks (It's already happened in Japan ;))?

God I hope Mileena keeps the mask on in her 'shots'.

I think that we are too morally strict on ourselves to allow for any kind of widespread freedom in the porn industry.  Although this could spark a niche market, I very much doubt it'll catch on.

Most of Playboy's pictorals are quite tasteful and the magazine appeals to a more sophisticated kind of porn addict.  Of course, if you've seen the magazine lately, I think you'll agree that the only difference between the 'real' models and the upcoming CG models is a few hours of extra photoshopping.

Why would any sane person want to buy a magazine of a naked video game characted?  Haven't these people ever heard of Poser (http://www.curiouslabs.com/article/articleview/1156/1/281?sbss=281)?

Dead or Alive, baby. Dead or Alive....

I still fail to understand how Freespace qualifies as the basis for a "family" forum? Are there people here having family LAN parties, or something?

Because FS isn't a mature rated game... so it's entirely expected that there would be youngsters (so to speak) visiting the forum.

Oh dear oh dear :(

I'm sorry, but that is just plain pathetic.

I seriously worry about anyone who would buy a magazine like this simply because it has drawings of their favourite computer game character naked in it. Photos of naked women I can understand, but it's been a few centuries since anyone got turned on by a woodcut :(

(er, except money maybe)

they get paid for it, and it attracts a new demographic.

Yeah, they want geeks to buy playboy... mainly because geeks skip Playboy and go for the more 'direct' porn. :p

Post by: Flipside on August 31, 2004, 01:02:02 pm
hehe Well, the thing is, I cannot believe that anyone with internet access is ever going to buy a magazine like 'Playboy', why bother?

It's amazing, they think Gays are abnormal and yet think it's perfectly fine to strum the one string guitar over your favourite computer game character?!?!

Of which they don't even pay - I illegally d/l all my porn, because frankly I am not going to pay for something I sometimes jack off onto and usually remove after a few revisits.
 Hey, I have an idea: how about something like iTunes, only with porn? iPorn - 1 euro a movie/DVD scene.

To be honest I think Playboy are using this more as an joke and an attempt to gain some free publicity. I doubt that they are seriously trying to attract a new demographic with this but I'm sure they won't complain if it draws some extra readers.

Remember that Playboy is quite different from most of the other magazines in that it's basically GQ except that the girls wear even less in the pictorials.

A few months back Maxim did a sexy photoshoot/interview with Marge Simpson (Yeah I know a load of you are doing a double take right now but it's true). Basically this is just playboy's version of the same thing.


Now if they are people out there getting more turned on by this than the flesh and blood centrefold they might want to consider their priorities :)

LOL If it's a girl, she's a slut.
If it's a boy, he's a 'player' or whatever the phrase is.

Can anyone else see the moronity in this?

[color=66ff00]Actually it's due to deeply ingrained animal instinct that this convention has come about.

Females are the chased, males are the chasers thus males who get a lot of females are just doing what comes naturally and females who get a lot of males are defying the natural order of things. Strangely in our pretty non sexist culture (relatively speaking of course) this convention still is pretty much law. When was the last time you got hit on by a girl?

It's still the male's place to go after the female thus males that do this are successful and females that do this and defy convention are given a rather nasty name when in fact they're the ones who are working on a much more equal basis with males than the others who demand equal status but still demand the chase. :)

I find it mildly humourous but you can't win unless you're playing.

[color=66ff00]I think of dating as a game where your attractiveness sets the difficulty level. I'm currently playing on medium/hard as I am unable to use the 'alcohol' special item to get a +1 courage.

Gotta find the console and switch on God mode.

You mean you didn't do the side quest where you get the "rophynol" special item? It does give you a sharp morality hit on your final score, but...
