It seems that celebutaunt Paris Hilton is planning on gracing the social gaming scene with her presence. As indicated this is a line of virtual apparel designed for a Brazilian Social games akin to IMVU.

One has to wonder if this is a case of a step in the right direction for these types of games by adding celebrity as a potential driving force, or a case of making a bad situation worse by taking a genre of game that is already accused of being superfluous fluff and sending it into overdrive with one of the reigning queens of Style over substance.

Does gaming as a whole need this type of "cameo appearances" to draw more people in, Or is this a case of gaming slowly degrading into mediocrity much like other modern media?

I don't need to read the article to know that this is awesome.

(Reads the article anyway.)

Yes, it's awesome. Paris is way smarter than she's ever been given credit for. Just another smart business move on top of a mountain of existing smart business moves.

...Will her face fall off?

Repo!

OT: I don't this is really going to have a long term impact, does anybody remember her other venture into the gaming market?

I thought so.

Goddamn spoiler-addicted Escapists, ruining my films. I haven't seen Repo yet.

 

[Lullabye]

So she's designing clothes for videogames?
That's awesome.
Admit it guys, if there is anything in games that we desperately need, it's a sense of style.

I'm not buying it, BonsaiK. Not after the good folks at Gawker broke this story:

Ugh. T. Sean Collins summed it up best. Shes just a spoiled, rich, tired looking whore who is only famous for being a spoiled, rich, tired looking whore. (get that referance without googling!)

World War Z, easy.

And on topic: What.

What are you talking about? It worked, didn't it?

 

[Mr. Grey]

I have no idea how this will turn out. Casual Market may be her game - no pun intended - but I don't expect her to branch out into a more serious market. By serious, I mean brutal. She has the money to fund it, no doubt there, but that doesn't mean people will buy it. Hell, it may never leave the studio and then a lot of people are out of jobs.

And I don't think there is a Publisher out there that will even look at her after her debacles in theatres.

Over substance? I think you meant the Reigning Queen of Style and Substance.

I couldn't pass it up, I just couldn't.

I apologize to anyone offended by the joke. I just can't pass it up, especially after the recent event.

We gamers have it hard enough as it is without the shitty merchandising and Z list celebrity whores fucking us over too.

WWZ, best book ever. (Well, not really, but close.)

 

[GrimTuesday]

Can we keep Paris Hilton as far away as we can, please. I honestly don't think that anyone she would bring would be better for our community.

 

[BonsaiK]

Yes, it's awesome. Paris is way smarter than she's ever been given credit for.

Yeah, because it takes real brains to sink millions of dollars of daddies money into dozens of different projects and brag about the 2-3 that work while forgetting the other couple dozen that fell dead.
The only "smart" thing she ever did was suck a dick on tape which is the only reason 90% of us even know the whores name.

The way you write that, you almost had me believing for a split-second that you disapprove...

Don't worry, that's not a major plot point in the movie.

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

I disapprove of her and all the worthless social parasites feeding off others fame like her even drawing breath.
What we need to do is throw her, the Osbournes (excluding Ozzy since he actually has talent), that Kardashian whore, the entire cast of Jersey Shore & Jack Black (just because I hate his guts) into a big pit to fight to the death. Only one survivor!
Then when the survivor finally crawls out all bloody and beaten we set the dogs on them.

You know, you sound jealous.

Is it because they have money, fame and popularity, and you don't?

They are smart people. Smart enough to make theor personalities earn them money. The more you hate, the more you kick and scream, the more media attention they get, the more money they make.

BonsaiK is right - Paris is smart!

Ozzy's solo career would have sunk like a stone without his wife Sharon's management. She's been one of the most respected managers in the business for decades, long before The Osbournes, and she's done management for several other artists besides Ozzy. My point is that there's a lot of unglamorous hard work going on under the surface of such so-called "parasites" which is in fact anything but parasitic.

Maybe so but it's still something that would have been intended in the movie as a surprise, and now when I finally get to see that film, it won't be.
