Damn, I was thinking maybe the Frag Dolls posed for them. Haha

Wow! I didn't know Play Boy did this each year. I bought one Play Boy when I turned 19 as is customary. But perhaps now I shall buy another!

It was already hard (no pun intended) enough trying to watch AOTS without gawking at Munn and Layleigh's considerable assets - they r totally hot. This network has quickly transformed into the young man's fantasy channel.
-Hot Girls
-Video Games
-Comedy
-Sci-Fi Shows
-Mo Better Butts, etc.
Continued in next comment...

There is something very wrong about this. People should not be sexually excited about video game characters, I'm sorry, but that's what I think.

Think back 2 or 3 years. That's it, fire up the waaayback machine in your mind. Remember the early days G4TV? I do...
-Kevin P., fanboy geek (nothing wrong with that or being smart - he is both - BTW whoever masterminded Kevin's physical makeover and wardrobe upgrade deserves a job on that swan show or whatever it's called these days)
-The one guy that was Kevin's co-host of AOTS, some angry short kid, totally used to kill the vibe of the show doing everything from petty bitching about AOTS using a gmail account for viewer correspondence to anything else you can think of - he had his moments but towards the end he was an ass.
N the end, this is the little network that could. Awesome, up-tempo and fresh - kind of like MTV b4 it started to suck.
Just my 52 cents. Oh and thanks for the hot pics from Playboy! LOL

CtrlShiftF11 of course your right this station is all I need to watch, hot girls and games mostly, I toon in to watch the girls and the comedy. My favorite girl is all of them Munn, Layleigh, Holt, and Webb.

"There is something very wrong about this. People should not be sexually excited about video game characters"

But we should get excited about HD graphics and guns in Gears and Halo? Don't be a hypocrite. Good art whether it be music, a painting, or even computer generated should make you feel something. The artist wants you to feel something and they want to be able to express themselves fully. If they meant for the character to be hot them let it be.

If your under 18 disregard what I said. You're not old enough to get it and should be concentrating on schooling anyway.

If you are 25 and older then then man the -blank- up and grow up.

Listen WhiteFang - the G in G4TV means game - not gheys afraid of girl parts. Go watch Mister Rogers Neighborhood Bizzzaaaaaaaaaaatch! LOL
Just Kidding - you'll always be my BFF!

I have the issue when they first did this in Playboy. Very cool.

I've always loved the way the Dutch masters were able to bring out the human form with just canvas and paint. Seeing it done with computers is great as well.

Let's get the 'Girls' of G4 in on this action, uhhhh huh.

Posted by JDarkley - Friday, November 02, 2007 11:18 AM
@ Tmidiman, I'm not being a hypocrite. I'm just sick of every female character in games being portrayed as some big-breasted scantly-clad sex object. It's demeaning towards women, and putting said sex objects in Playboy is just taking it another step in that direction.
And it is different than becoming excited about guns and graphics and stuff like that because those things open up new gameplay possibilities and makes each game a more unique piece of art. That's why we play games! We play for for cool gameplay, not sexual excitement!
At least games don't sexually excite me...

Posted by Memento - Friday, November 02, 2007 11:31 AM
Man, I remember when Rayne from BloodRayne was in an issue of Playboy doing the nude thing as well.

Posted by djHaQ - Friday, November 02, 2007 11:33 AM
Hooray Church and Black.

JDarkley: I think it's sad that many of the females in video games now are lacking in big breasts. lol

Posted by crimeboss - Friday, November 02, 2007 11:42 AM
I think every video game character should be replaced with a big-breasted scantly-clad sex object.

Posted by Zannlikespie - Friday, November 02, 2007 12:28 PM
Wow Omg no Damn wonder gamers are usually invisoned without girlfreinds cause your Freakin Pervs HAHAHA now i will go and tell my girlfriend how pathtic you guys are and no i dont mean Gf. A GF is a girl you meet online a girlfriend is someone who you mee in person

Posted by Tmidiman - Friday, November 02, 2007 12:43 PM
JDarkley I forgot you are the judge of why and why not we play games. Just kidding,...sort of.

When you get older you may come to understand that humans have many emotions and all are good in the right place. The shirtless character in God Of War demeans you in some way? I think not. It's just a character that the programmer wants for their game. The women are not being slaped or defiled. They are shown as strong and able to handle the situations they are placed in. They are also beautiful and yes sexy.

Any mature person who has a problem with sex might want to abort themselves right now. Sex brought you into this world.

must see more buying issue now

Posted by JDarkley - Friday, November 02, 2007 1:50 PM
Tmidiman, I don't mind sexual content in games, just not in every game I play. I just want it toned down a bit. Really, the content of the games we play is the basis of how society judges us, the gaming community. And I do not wish to be judged as a horny adolescent who turns to gaming and Playboy for pleasure. I'd like to think I'm more mature than that.

Posted by slimmer - Friday, November 02, 2007 2:37 PM
What about the Heavenly sisters ? They were the best this year, need to put some scars on them make em look real unlike real playboy super/way overdone airbrushed tramps.
I vote for "Girls of G4tv" next and Blair is a must.

Posted by SmokenStang302 - Friday, November 02, 2007 2:41 PM
If the link doesn’t work search the site for
Kim Kardashian and it’s the first link.

Posted by slimmer - Friday, November 02, 2007 2:42 PM
JDarkley, your posting on this thread so the mature thing is void and I would like there to be sex in games, in Postal2 I can urinate on a nurse but not get a bj ? thats wrong and I should have my choice of either.

Posted by slimmer - Friday, November 02, 2007 2:45 PM
Correction "MORE sex in games"

Posted by JDarkley - Friday, November 02, 2007 2:46 PM
I still don't see how that makes my point void.

Posted by zombiekiller12 - Friday, November 02, 2007 2:54 PM
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!111!! !!1!111

Posted by Omega_ryan - Friday, November 02, 2007 4:06 PM
I honestly would like to see video games follow movies with more adult material: i.e. sex, violence, you know more reality. Look at books they have romance novels with very descriptive sexual content and movies have the nudity and sex scenes. I want to be able to play games that fit my age group and can deal with adult situations and emotional drivers that kids might not understand and should see, just like a rated R movie. As far as being turn on by characters, yeah sometimes you want what you want, how many of our fathers and grandfathers wanted Betty Boop or Jessica Rabbit, face it we you reach the right age we all start liking girls and parts of girls…unless you like men and that’s ok too. Face it and deal with it games are for adult and children so why are they mostly mad for kids.

Posted by Memento - Friday, November 02, 2007 4:09 PM
Smaller breasts in videogames is a good thing to me. It adds to the realism of the character. Having two boulders nearly covering the character's face just for the sake of having said 'large' breasts seems highly impractical. But again, that's my opinion on things.

Posted by Oinkness - Friday, November 02, 2007 5:50 PM
Did you put the black bars on to hide the horrible joke of a nipple created by nerds who've probably never seen a naked woman in their life?

Posted by JDarkley - Friday, November 02, 2007 6:31 PM
God, you people think I'm against mature content in games. I'm not, I just hate the overflow of it. Like I said, the content of the games we play are the basis for how society judges us. And if game characters start landing in issues of Playboy, than that says to society that gamers would rather look at porn than engage in social interaction, liking getting a girlfriend for example. You guys want to stare at breasts? Well, stare at breasts then! But at least stare at REAL ones, you anti-social pervs!

Posted by slimmer - Friday, November 02, 2007 8:12 PM
Theres not an overflow of mature content in games and your definition of mature is what ? Boobs ? blood splatter ?there is not enough good mature content and who is society ? Playboy readers ? Jack Thomson ? your friends ? we can stare at real ones and painted ones people have been doing it for centuries.
I'm guessing that most people who say "Get a girlfriend" in forums are the ones who really dont have one.

Posted by slimmer - Friday, November 02, 2007 8:17 PM
Someone please put up a link to all these pics.

Posted by JDarkley - Friday, November 02, 2007 11:05 PM
When I say society I mean SOCIETY. That means everybody, gamers, non-gamers, Playboy readers, and jerks like Jack Thompson. Why should I have to define that? And read my text again, I did not suggest for anybody to get a girlfriend. Don't accuse me of being a hypocrite, besides I could be gay for all you know. Also, I would think that real mature content includes layered narrative, detailed characters, and if it fits the aesthetic, gore and sexuality. Games like God of War have all that, and that's fine by me. Most games though, only deliver on the blood and the boobs, like Ninja Gaiden (Remember Rachael? Do you think real breasts jiggle like that?).

Okay, since everything that I have said thus far has been misinterpreted, I'll just ask this: Does anybody honestly believe that this is in good taste? If not, how do think that it reflects on us gamers?

Posted by Schr0mmel - Saturday, November 03, 2007 12:11 AM
JDarkley, this is in horrible taste. in a away it defiling an artist's most prized works, while the producers of the game which features these works decided that hell we want some more money and more publicity. don't bash on all Playboy readers by call us pervs, Playboy does show women in the nude, but it's not 124-pages of T&A, it in depth sports, health, cooking, style, celebrity interviews unlike any others... it's just a men's magazine, and compared to every other "men's magazines" Playboy is the classiest. besides, i'd be more offended if "the girls of video games" appeared in Maxim or Stuff, because of the type of messages portrayed by them.
