This is like a bad B-movie, just due to the reason I want to trow bleach on my brains to be able to forget this mess.

Wait, so is it the 9th Wonder Of The World Chyna or not?elvor0 said:Bought to you by by Ray360 & CRED Magazine:

Slightly NSFW. Nothing hardcore, but y'know, standard lads mag stuff.
Yes revel in the glory of this hideous irreverant, irrelevant magazine. Featuring such marvels as: A girl using her sex powers to enable her to play Halo 1, for the orginal xbox, with a ps2 controller that's had it's wire cut off to make it resemble a wireless pad. A woman on the front page who's clearly had glasses photoshopped onto her face, and thinly veiled racism as you gaze upon the beauty from the mysterious east, the " "Exotic" Chyna Doll" ", who totally didn't steal her name from a much more famous pornstar.
Beyond the complete dodginess of it's existance, I'm not sure who I feel more sorry for. The guys who came up with the idea, the publishers for agreeing to it, the girls in the magazine, or us for them thinking this is something the "Geek" audience was actually clamouring for.
I mean not only could you easily find this stuff on google, there's plenty of genuine "Gamer Girls" on the interwebs who do this sort of thing, of much higher quality, and you could probably actually have a proper conversation about games with them.
Heck, I'm not even sure who this is for in the first place. I mean the internet exists for porn. Not only that, even Lads mags like FHM, Nuts or Zoo have more to them than babes and they at least arn't trying to put on a ruse so hackneyed it would make Stan Lee blush.
On top of the general consensus of how stupid and sad this is, I have more of a problem with how this is going to affect the general representation of gamers as a whole. From the outside looking in, this is going to make it look like female gamers are all dumb people who are all just 'posers' (for want of a better word) or fake gamer girls who know shit all about gaming and just sit there going 'omg I'm such a nerd #geek #SpaceWars' when all of us here know that THIS IS NOT EVEN NEARLY THE CASE and make it seem as though all male gamers are just horny teenagers with absolutely no concept of what a real human woman is and that they're all going to be climbing over each other, grasping at these magazines with cheeto-ridden fingers. Again, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
I can't imagine it'll sell terribly well though, because most gamers have internet access and I for one would much prefer to remain in the privacy of my own home to... deal with this sort of material, shall we say? And I'd bet that most of my peers would agree, so hopefully in a few months/a couple of years, we'll all be sitting here going 'remember that daft arse magazine. Ha! As if they thought that was a good idea'. That said, if it does go down the shit-pipe where it belongs, we probably won't remember it at all.

Oh.
Well, this is not my thing, but I'm sure that their are plenty of people who would enjoy it, and I won't chastise them for their choices, as all parties involved are consenting adults.
Gee, was that so hard?

Which "moral stuff", really? What's immoral about a magazine where enhanced women dress up in silly costumes and pose half-naked for the camera? Do we live in the 1950s or what? And what makes you think it's aimed at you? It clearly doesn't float your boat, so you clearly aren't the target audience. And whoever likes the style, likes the style. So again: Where's the problem?elvor0 said:
Why the fuck do you get worked up about this not attracting you? You don't like it, so don't read it. Or is your real problem, that there's a "Gamer"/"Nerd"-Playboy around (really can't put enough "" around the words gamer and nerd there), which doesn't cater to your specific needs?elvor0 said:
It's made for whoever buys it. It really is that simple.elvor0 said:
Not saying you shouldn't post about or it's quality, it's just the "ERMAGAWD DEMEANING, SEXIST, RACIST!!!!111" sentiment, that getting on my nerves and that I find completely pointless in this context. As said, it's a glamour-magazine with a vague gamer/nerd/geek-theme. That's all there is.elvor0 said:
Not at all. Nobody gives a rat's ass about this magazine unless it's bought in droves and spoken about in all the internet-forums. Congratulations, you're doing the marketing for this silly piece of work.ambitiousmould said:
For gaming its better if everything is for everyone. Whether your male, female or gay whatever. The thing that unites you is gaming so race, sex etc doesnt come into it. This mag is just playboy with a gaming feel because boobs with a joystick is more appealing to a male gamer than boobs without. I know its a minority mag but god knows who will buy it.
Like a lot of people, I was expecting something quite different when I clicked on this thread....
Although, I don't think we're starting with this generation in terms of girls not knowing their bodies. Some of the most frequent questions brought up are about the appearance of breasts/nipples/labia/clitoris, and part of this is simply because we've developed a culture where the only ones you get shown fit a certain beauty aesthetic.
Looking back at the picture, it looks like they did a rush job. That colouration appears to be a poorly shopped patch of skin to cover up the aereola.Lilani said:

You...You're not implying that Playboy bios are fake, are you? I'm not sure if I could take that.Weaver said:
I've gotta say, sexism aside, overall this is an incredibly amateurish effort. Terrible photoshop, awkward outfits and poses (what the fuck are those glasses...), and apparently nothing related to gaming other than the controllers. Seriously, at least make some shit up about their favorite League of Legends characters or whatever. A niche for this fetish (I guess gaming girls is a fetish?) probably exists, but this magazine is hardly going to penetrate [footnote]no pun intended[/footnote]it.
3/10, wouldn't read even if someone left it in the dorm bathroom stalls.

Maybe it's because I'm from a country where it's pretty easy to see women naked (specially during february/march), but I really see nothing wrong with this. Looks shitty? Yeah, it does, but that's about it.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllll then... That is indeed a thing. A really creepy, stupid, and obviously over-done thing. Can we burn it now, please?
WOAH WOAH WOAH! Woah now!ChemistInTraining said:
No.
But on-topic: Yeah, this is a real thing? Hopefully not for long.
Look, I'm not anti-porn (I'd be a hypocrite if I was) but THIS!? This is just...I DON'T EVEN! It just feels desperate.
It's just a softcore porn magazine, it's not trying to pass off as real. Let's stop taking it seriously.dyre said:
What I find to be the most offensive thing is how one of the girls says their favorite games is Fable 3. I liked Fable 3 more than most, but the only way Fable 3 is your favorite game is if you have only played Fable 3.
Going by the title I thought it was going to be some shitty little children's magazine filled with pinkness and reviews of barbie games.
But yeah... who the fuck is this for? Is there some strange demographic of guys who can't get a boner over a naked woman unless she's wearing fake glasses and has an unplugged controller in her hands?

I don't think it's about naked women. Hell, if this really is for real I'm betting my local stores would put this back with the actual pornography so kids wouldn't get it, but you consider they stock like fifty different porn mags, I don't think it's the nudity that's at issue. You can get naked or scantily clad women on the internet, too, with less hassle and no pandering. Or at least, better pandering.Wintermute said:
