Well she could write good stories for who knows, but yeah I remember the controversy with how she was handed a job. Never thought she was a good gaming journalist. Then again most videogame stories are rubbish so maybe she can hit the jackpot.
I will say I was shocked to see that she was featured in Mass Effect 3.

The behind-the-scenes feature would at least be better than most game stories.

The mass effects girl?
Mass effect has a good track record for writing.

I always liked Jessica Chobot at IGN.
The documentary is well done. More women should join the gaming industry and show that this industry is facinating, artistic and all that.

This thread? The Internet? The fact that guys scour the web for videos of women doing sexual things for their own amusement but when a women uses it to advance her career they immediately discredit anything she ever does?

Didn't Zombie Studios also hire some guy from IGN as a game designer, with no previous experience designing games?
She could try using her real name if it's such a "liability". But then nobody would know who the hell she was and they wouldn't have this article to promote their game!

Why would someone lick a PSP? What an odd picture.
For what it's worth I've met with with Jessica to discuss Daylight and she was remarkably passionate, articulate and demonstrated an educated perspective on horror and horror games. Plus she was pushing for some straight up legitimately disturbing themes and content that even the Zombie studios director felt uncomfortable with.
I would recommend waiting to experience the finished product before jumping to conclusions. Or, you know, speculate away.

Would you go as far as saying that you found it Epic? Epic for the Win?
The nursery she made for her son is all sorts of awesome.

Personally I'm less interested in daylight after reading this article.
So I guess he liability is pushing people like me into giving the game less of a shot.

You read that article and came away thinking she caught "all the breaks"?

I'm more bothered by some of the ignorant things she was saying after the Xbox 180 than licking a PSP.

I should make out with a ps4 on launch day to head start my career in the game industry.
This is one of those times people give too much meaning to what idots on youtube comments and internet forums say. So what if she licked a psp 7 years ago who gives a shit, shes doing a job writing to get paid just like everyone else in the world. I wish her all the luck in the world, just wish people like jessica and those in jobs in the industry would give places like this and youtube less meaning as the internet is full of those who shout louder and hide behind the anonymity the internet gives. Most wont care that shes the psp licker just the tiny minority of internet trolls.

Yes. She was able to land her dream job and live a happy life free of worry because she's hot.
Pretty much, yeah.

WTF am I even reading? I have no idea what this is. All I see is that stupid character from Mass Effect.
I guess we found something she's good at, she should design nurseries for a living. That shit is awesome.

A failed marriage? House foreclosed on? Maybe she's working at her dream job now but if you read the article it was obviously a circuitous route. I don't know her but the article doesn't paint her the way you are making her seem at all. Seems like she is very passionate about what she does.

I'm kinda jealous that she at a young age went to check out abandoned scary hospitals like Sheldon Hospital. I never did that as a kid since nothing like that was near me. Must have been an awesome experience.

She DID lick a Vita too you know.
The only PhD you need in life, is a PhD in good looks!
Troy Baker is part of the game industry, can't take that prize away from him.
Jess was never a journalist. She was a host-for-hire. Those are her words, not mine.

I suppose that's a question for the people who hired her, isn't it?
On an early episode of Girlfight she talks about about how she got into the business. I don't remember the whole thing, but the PSP picture had little to do with it.
I think she started by sneaking into conventions and do guerrilla style interviews with developers?

I listened to Girlfight when she was on it. I agreed with her opinions on most things on there, a really intelligent passionate person and gamer, looking forward to this game of hers.
