    Yeah, I wish she sat down on my face...I'm just playing (sort of), I just wanted to be the first to make the obligatory Jade is hot comment.
    • AwesomeMonster, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2So if i buy Assassins Creed, this increases my chance with her by how much?
      Less than 0.001 percent eh? My chances with her are already below 0.000001% you say?
      oh... aw.
    • DeRiza, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20That's not the first "Jade is hot" comment, that's the first "this guy is creepy" comment.
      • mywhitenoise, on 10/10/2007, -12/+2I was joking, but if you consider wanting a hot girls pussy in your mouth as creepy, then maybe you should get off digg and focus on promoting 6th grade.
        • RobotCitizen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Wanting it is not creepy. Publicly describing it in graphic detail is kinda creepy, though.
    • Prathik89, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Dude, Subtle. Please.
    • Flashman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13You know, that's a real dick thing to say. Here she is producing one of the year's best games, and all you can do is make some crack about her being a girl.
      • RobotCitizen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I admire her. She's a smart, good-looking woman proving that women CAN be more than booth babes in the games industry. With her around, maybe women will be just a little less hesitant to enter the industry for fear of being surrounded by dorky mouth-breathers all day.
    • JudeMaverick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I understand. You're lovesick just like the guy who posted the article.
  • nymphetamine, on 10/10/2007, -14/+5Oh Jade Raymond. How I wish you would come with my copy of Assassin's Creed.
    • hightower77, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1If you buy more than one she might "come" with it.
  • asdfuiop, on 10/11/2007, -6/+8How to identify Jade Raymond:

  • neuwill, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5A mix between GTA and Zelda do i hear? Could be interesting!
    • MomentDEFINED, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2If you haven't been interested in Assassin's Creed already, you either never played the PoPs or just haven't been paying attention.
  • NinjaPig, on 10/10/2007, -8/+5Wow, i remember just two days ago there was an article about women in engineering being traumatized. Then I saw the xkcd comic about guys being assholes on the internet. Proof right here.

    With that said, LEAVE JADE ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*wail*sob*

    *buried*
  • ZenMojo, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2After watching Splinter Cell: Conviction in action, I have to say that game looks a LOT more promising than AC. Too bad, I don't really want an Xbox360 so I think I'll have to miss out on the better game.
  • LimeParrot, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Assassin's Creed certainly has potential to kick ass. Let's see if it creates the Digg-hype that Bioshock and Halo enjoyed =P
  • mrhahn, on 11/06/2007, -0/+26... and I'm sure she loves it when people start every article about Assassin's Creed with "HOLY *****, A WOMAN! IN THE GAMING INDUSTRY!"
    • MrFisty, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Hey man, we're just making girls feel like they're part of the group. By singling them out.
  • KeyLimePie, on 11/06/2007, -0/+38Is it me or is Jade Raymond is getting more hype than Assassin's Creed.
    • jnosanov, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Her anti-aliasing is better!
    • UnkelJethro, on 11/06/2007, -0/+6A woman in the gaming industry who's not a sasquatch. Might as well get some press.
  • Bahimiron, on 11/01/2007, -1/+15I love how every interview with Jade Raymond has a picture at the top of every interview she does.

    It makes me wish Assassin's Creed didn't look really good, just so I'd have a reason to blast it.

    Damn that game for looking pretty damn cool! I need to vent my cynicism!
  • Arcadian, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2You know, I was kind of lost on this whole story arc in Megatokyo about the zombie fans and the idol - then I see Jade and the reaction she gets on the internet and everything made sense.
  • KongKNoob, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Skip the blogspam: http://www.joystiq.com/2007/10/02/joystiq-intervie ...
  • JMZen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I like the comparison between land mines and ACs more dynamic hazards. As gamers, we've become used to avoiding the typical array of landmines, spiketraps, and Pirhanna Plants. I think it will be more challenging (and probably more intuitive) to see a combination of people (a box carrier next to a drunk, for example), and proactively see that as a potential hazard.
  • quentinp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Some of these comments remind me of Code Monkeys, but instead of satire, they seem kind of for real, which is creepy and sad!
  • jnosanov, on 11/01/2007, -5/+2Is there really anything wrong with showering such attention on one of the only fit, healthy-looking (and admittedly beautiful) women in a visible position in the game industry? Many, many interviews with game developers show overweight or extremely skinny men who do not appear to take care of their health, often with desks covered with stimulants and junk food. More people (in the game industry and out) should take care of themselves as Jade Raymond appears to.

    I am not throwing stones here, when I was in high school I was 280 pounds and I played games all day. Now I am 180 pounds (at 6'3") and have a much healthier balance in life between work, fitness, social life, and gaming.
  • RogerWilco, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8I would certainly like to talk to her about *her* flower box...

    High-five!
  • Vazel, on 10/11/2007, -8/+4SHE IS A GODDESS I WORSHIP HER AND I ASPIRE TO STALK HER ONE DAY.
  • Blackbow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Babraham Lincoln!
  • merdiesel, on 11/06/2007, -1/+4Easily the hottest chick in gaming...
  • GUTTS, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1They should call it "Assasins Seed; starring Jade."
  • Tserk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1This game is just a month away and I still can tell if it's a platformer, a brawler or Prince of Persia 5, or maybe even The Matrix.
  • evox, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I'd be nice to see a jade raymond related article without all the "omg she's hawt" comments popping up.

    still, I'd hit that...
