AHAHAHAHA (I'm still having near-hysterical laughing jags) AHAHAHAHA
So. EA is releasing (has released?) a video game "based" on Dante's Inferno. The PR stunt at ComiCon was "Sin to Win".
A member of GayGamers had a runner-up entry
Oh. Oh my.

I'm still trying to figure out how the whole IDEA of "booth babes" isn't objectifying, so I'm a little confused as to why the promo was so extra horrible...

Because the whole industry collectively agreed NOT to use booth babes anymore...several years ago. EA's decision to base an entire marketing campaign around semi-dirty-pictures featuring booth babes was widely derided (in game press and by industry insiders) as backsliding of the worst sort.

Ah! I did not know that. Then extra house points to GayGamer Guy for refusing the money (original house points were for funny entry).

Wretched, wretched things. I'll stick to my supremely geeky tattoos: the Ring Inscription (in tengwar, in red, butofcourse)...the symbol from Gary Numan's "Exile" album cover...and the jumpgate cross of the Eskatonics in the Fading Suns RPG.
Twilight. Blah.

I was all set to get an analemma tattoo until a friend asked "Anal Emma?"
