e3 Booth Babes

  • In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

    Here is some of my old work.. the first pic is of a 3d model of a human head I was working on about 2 years ago in 3dsmax, using nurbs. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't model a head with…

I thought [url="http://www.gamecritics.com/feature/report/e3expo2004_babes/page01.php"]this was an interesting read[/url].. it's an article on the e3 booth babes and their thoughts on the trade show/conference...

quote:"It's weird when they put their arms around me," she replies, "but then I feel them shaking and I'm like, whatever, if it's so important to you . . . it's funny when guys come up to me and tell me that it's their first time touching a girl."

I always find the booth babe thing so funny. It is cool to read what I thought. No guys just actually walk up and start talking to them.

""It's funny that people act this way over little stuffed toys," I say to another of the girls, Jessica, who is standing a few paces away. She smiles and nods in agreement. "I've been handing out buttons, screen-cleaners, and all kinds of things, and there have been people attacking us for free stuff. People will walk up to us and just try to grab it.""

It's good to see that people's priorities are right. Stealing little stuffed toys over hitting on booth babes :p

And for those who need reason why booth babes should be cherished....

I find the whole booth babe thing quite funny as well. It's also funny how she says that for most of them that it's the first time touching a girl. The nerds are shaking when they see a girl, i just find it funny.

That's why they keep on continuously getting attractive around college age girls doing that work. One or two conferences and they've got at least a quarter of the year accounted for...

That and there's always been babes involves in selling products, IIRC there's scientific proof that people would buy anything from an attractive woman. Especially men.

Aven : [:O] At least if I did post photos of that nature inglis couldnt makem any worse [;)]

She ended up with about 13K US for 3 days work aparently she was pretty upset as she was only getting paid AVERAGE also. This was for a car show in the States a year back, not sure what the pay is like for e3 etc.

So if he stays dressed up as a chick for days at a time in public (doesn't count in private), he could be in for quite a bill..

Man, American gamers must be complete geeks though to be shaking nerdily when they are around women...

Crap. I completely forgot about this thread. If HazarD shaves/waxes his legs, stuffs a bra and at least tries to put on some make-up. Then it maayyyyy be worth the.... nah. You're probably all correct. It would be a waste of money :p

lol i love that, when people just randomly include a bunch of dancing girls for no apparent reason. Happened at a extreme sport show once (cant remember the actual name), and they didnt even tell the compeditors, suddenly the ramps are covered in girls with their pom poms and everyone does a simultaneous "wtf?" :P

Well that's what the "booth babes" are there to do, I mean in car shows they tend to actually be knowledgeable in the cars that they are displaying. Though it'd be interesting to actually see "booth babes" that are interested in games and can talk about them at length, then they wouldn't really need all those skimpy outfits and all...

Obviously you haven't been to many car shows then Daemin :)

As for the E3 Booth Babes... the Bloodrayne chick gets my vote ;)

Maitrek: No, not really, but on TV they always spout that the women presenting cars in car shows actually know something about them... Could be just in America then?

LiveWire: It's a complex issue, plus not every skimpy outfit looks good on every person!

I went to a gun show in the US. Heaps of babes in bikinis firing heavy weaponry. For me, it didn't click. Booth babes at E3 at least fit in with the theme. *shrugs*
