That's some sort of joke right? I mean John Romero being rich and all I expect the hottie gf, but c'mon... Jeez talk about laying on the girl shit.

A sample quote:
There is something about the physical act of reading that does not work for me. Maybe I am farsighted, maybe I am dyslexic .. who knows. :) Either way, John has read some terrific books to me including Michael's Crichton's Timeline and Hollow Man by Dan Simmons.

Then of course there's the fact that she's got basically the same name as the CEO of AOL-Warner. This has to be some sort of publicity stunt to help laggy sales of Daikatana. (Hint for John -- write a decent game that comes out in the same decade it was scheduled for).

This is crass. Tasteless. Sort of Playboy for game geeks.

I'll add more stuff after I'm done checking out all the pics:)

I'm no quake god, or anything... But I've played a fair bit, entered a few tournaments, and done respectfully for myself at them. I've only ever fragged Thresh once, and that was during a 9-vs-1 game. I was lucky.

In any case...KillCreek isn't really that good a player, to be honest. At least, not while I was playing her. Maybe she was having an off day, or something.

And as for The Romero himself? He couldn't frag his way out of a wet paper bag, that man. Any skillz he may have once had were subsumed by his ever-growing greasy ball of hair. I don't think I've ever given any "pro" player such a manbeating in my life.

Heh. Yeah.

Stevie "Killcreek" Case:

1. Public Relations Director for the Cyberathlete Professional League
2. PC Game Designer
3 .Playboy Online Model
4. Not ditzy (coming from the few hours I've spent talking to her)

Now, I don't know about you guys, but that's more than enough for me to be interested in her. As for John dating her as a publicity stunt, I highly doubt it. It's been at least two years (I don't remember the exact date) since the release of Daikatana and the two are still together.

Regardless of whether you think she has "Quake Skillz" or not, and I think she does from what I've seen during my work with CPL, you must admit that she is one of the most attractive women that has ever been involved in the gaming industry. For that matter, one of the most attractive women... period. Granted, she had breast implants, but so what? She looks good. As far as publicity goes, I think she's good publicity for the gaming world in general. It shows that yes - good looking people DO play video games, it's not just the Revenge of the Nerds stereotypical geek. (And aside from that, NO amount of publicity could have saved Daikatana)

As far as her current work, Stevie's begun a bit of an acting career since her work with Ion Storm. She just finished shooting 15 episodes of a TV show called "Lock -N- Load" in London which is being aired in Europe and Asia and will hopefully make it to the US soon. It's about a huge European Quake III Arena tournament called SuperCap.

At any rate, say what you like - but I think she'd have been just as famous, if not close, without dating Romero. As for the Playboy online spread... damn...
