Ok, look, she may actually be into COD. all I'm saying is that I've never really heard of her having even a passing interest in gaming until now, once the media blitz for BLOPS 2 started. I mean, maybe she is into The CODBLOPSII but you can't white knight that shit and blame people for being skeptical. All signs point to it being marketing. If someone would show evidence to the contrary I'd gladly change my tune because it won't make or break my day if one more person buys COD.

for the record, people can show me as much evidence as they want and i will still call it marketing because i believe she is not fit to develop her own independent interests and ideas, thus the companies used their powers of suggestion to make her believe she is interested, which would mean she'd likely tweet about, creating free advertising

oh sweet. We've reached 4 pages in this thread......
Poster probably just assumed she was some pop singer. I admit, I'm still unsure as to what it is she actually does for a living. But she's famous and people give her money to say things and be at places.

She probably tossed that Gamecube away when she returned home...

Well ever since her tweet, in which she says it's not part of a marketing ploy, chances are Activison will put both West and Kardashian on a commercial prior to launch.
Thanks for not disappointing me when I knew that people would immediately assume that she got paid for that tweet. Not like it matters to me either way, but I just knew it would be thrown around here a lot.
I remember when people were assuming the same thing with Ice T too, not even realizing that he's an actual gamer, and celebs can't possibly do things for fun like other non-celebs.

You have to be paid to be typing this.

My first thought was that everyone would be giving her shit for liking the COD series.
You're welcome. And yeah, this is just like the guy who made "cop killer" being into a FPS. totally. Ice even started tweeting about it during the start of a COD marketing blitz, so it's really the same. Or maybe he didn't. I dunno. All I'm saying is she got me hype for the game. I didn't even know the graphics were gonna be this damn sick. Peace! @itsjaypah
Peep the xbox games in his old studio / apartment

and Kid Cudi or Big Sean strikes me as the types of guys who'd occasionally game from time to time, they're young enough.

Is The Call of Duty Black Ops II kind of like The Halo 2? Now that was a fun game.

This would be a lot cooler if she was hooked on an obscure RPG.
Actually, now that you remind me, he had a 360 hooked up in his studio during the MBDTF sessions.

He was probably paid to put it there. Celebrities don't enjoy video games.

I didn't know Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were in a relationship. I could have gone for much longer before I was forced to find out, thanks GAF!

wow I never knew that, I recently seen Akira for first time awhile back, now looking back at the music video i see the references.
He probably fell for Make-Up McFakeboobs. Sometimes the best of men do, especially when they have that much money.
I still think both her and Activision are lying.

Wow! Thanks for the update. I can't wait to pre-order of Call of Duty: Black Ops II at my local GameStop store for the awesome bonus items! Plus, you can't beat the PowerUp Rewards points!
Well there are people that come into gamestop and say "Let me get that Black Ops". I dont know what she does in her spare time, any it could just be some sort of marketing(?) but you cant tell a book by it's cover right?

Good lord, it's just social media marketing crap. Kim Kardashian is as sincerely interested in COD as Kanye West is in her.

I don't think Kanye plays video games. Even if he did/does, he doesn't seem to talk much of it.
