Naked girls that you'll never see playing games

Everyone has a calendar featuring naked folks in it these days. Sports teams, firemen, older ladies gardening in the UK -- everyone is stripping off in order to raise money for one cause or another. The tried and true method of having someone pictured in the buff above February's grid squares has been selling calendars and lining mechanic's shops for years, and now it comes with a fresh scoop of video games.Totally Nerdcore has launched a calendar to try and please gamers and simultaneously line their own pockets. It contains full-on nudity, and the site doesn't come close to being SFW, so surf at your own peril. Yes, you can now own a photo of a naked woman wearing nothing but a Nintendo Power Glove, complete with a convenient, built-in hanging loop. It will really tie your game room together.
These girls are clearly models, and just gaming poseurs -- a slap in the face to real girl gamers like PMS Clan and the Frag Dolls. If someone puts together a calendar with those girls in it, for charity or not, it'll pwn all other video game calendars, except perhaps the hot action of Games Shipping This Week.
In other news, don't look for the Joystiq: All Nude calendar anytime soon.

"These girls are clearly models, and just gaming posers -- a slap in the face to real girl gamers like PMS Clan and the Frag Dolls."
Excellent stereotype, way to go.
So - hot girls don't play games then, only average to ugly ones?
Way to pinpoint the market.

#3: I believe the words you're looking for are these:
"I love the Power Glove [nudie shot]. It's so bad."
spork @ Oct 11th 2006 4:37PM
oh come on, like the fragdolls are actually good at videogames?
Todd @ Oct 11th 2006 4:40PM
@zero2dash
Depends on your interpretation of what "hot" is whether said hot gamer girls are willing to take off their clothes for a calendar. Until then, the models will have to do.

"oh come on, like the fragdolls are actually good at videogames?"
or hot.
Andrea @ Oct 11th 2006 5:11PM
OK so here is my take on it.
You are pre-ordering in order to help them with their up front printing costs. So will you really get the calendar if they can't get the money to start the print?
There are only 3 photos, 2 of them being the same photo. They are not giving even thumbnails of what is inside (unless I missed something).
They always put the hottest girl on the front of the calendar, so it makes you wonder what is inside.
The "photographer" is a model who was Miss Hot Import Nights like 2001 or something and has done some nude work herself all over the Net. Of course she provided her link on the calendar purchase site, a link that has annoying pop-up's and claims she is starving and to buy her whatever's.
As a female myself who has been in the modeling field, I say don't waste your time on this calendar.
Just my .02.
Blast away boys.

zero2dash I think you misunderstood what he was saying. Not that hot girls don't play video games(even though I haven't met one), it's that groups like the PMS Clan try to not base their gaming on their looks, whether it's hot or ugly.
But personally I don't feel like the PMS Clan or Frag Dolls are any better than these models. At least the models are willing to admit that they are famous because of their sex. Even if these groups claim it's not about their looks but about their game, they are still only a group because they are women. If women want to be treated equally as gamers why can't they join clans with guys in them. I don't know of any groups with "only guy" gamers. It's reverse sexism!
On another note, I would've considered getting the calender for my dorm for $15. But for $30? If I wanted to pay that kinda money to see a naked lady I'd get a lap dance.

PMS Clan and the Frag Dolls are a slap in the face to real gamers, male and female.
calpis @ Oct 11th 2006 4:57PM
omg, it labels Anime Expo as one of the holidays. I'm soo in.
scott @ Oct 11th 2006 5:01PM
Hate them because they're pretty!!
So tell me. Which part of these women tells you they are just "gaming posers" - the nipples or the buttocks?
I can tell you which part of me really doesn't care either.
LaughingTarget @ Oct 11th 2006 5:05PM
Why is it whenever these things come out, the models always have vacant expressions? Must be incredibly degrading if they can't even fake it.
calpis @ Oct 11th 2006 5:18PM
just the fact that they added nerd holidays is bliss. in fact, i'd buy it just for that feature alone.
Grant @ Oct 11th 2006 5:25PM
how am i the only one thats going to say, "Best joystiq post ever? Yes!" ?
Stoli @ Oct 11th 2006 5:26PM
Yeah, #2, I think you didn't read the article clearly...hot girls can and do play games (as the clans previously mentioned), but it's suspect if these models do.
I'll be honest, I'm interested, but not for $30 (maybe $10-15). I have better things I can spend my money on...
halobreaker @ Oct 11th 2006 5:38PM
WTF? NerdCore is a genre of music not a easy attempt at money of having have hot chicks with joysticks.
Nushio @ Oct 11th 2006 5:39PM
Grant: I agree with ya.
Thanks for the new Wallpapers Joystiq!
JPRacer @ Oct 11th 2006 9:39PM
Wow these 2 girls are really hot! I'll let them play with my joystick anyday.
pixelate @ Oct 11th 2006 6:00PM
"Blast away boys."
ahem. don't mind if they do.
32_Footsteps @ Oct 11th 2006 6:01PM
Looking at the Power Glove pic... is she trying to masturbate with her non-Power Gloved hand? You know, I've made jokes about people doing that while wearing a Power Glove... and the reality of it unnerves me. And you just know next year's calendar is going to involve the Wiimote in some way...
Naked bits aside, I have to give them credit for highlighting the holidays I and other geeks care about. If only more calendars thought to do this.
Alan @ Oct 11th 2006 6:07PM
I wish PMS Tart was in this ;-)
John Chamard @ Oct 11th 2006 6:09PM
The models didn't look very happy and I hope they were paid well.
Chris Jeffery @ Oct 11th 2006 6:54PM
I find it hilarious that it's okay to say that all male gamers are fat nerdy virgins, but whenever someone tries to say that about female gamers people try to defend them.
R.U.Sirius @ Oct 11th 2006 7:07PM
Well, this rug... really tied the room together... you know?

randomshagz @ Oct 11th 2006 7:25PM
You had me at Naked.
Alex @ Oct 11th 2006 7:35PM
I wonder if they includes "Winter-een-mas" in the calander :/... Anyway..
I agree with 14 (Andrea) about the calendar's cover and what's inside. I got a similar calendar (Without the gaming accessories and it was a lot more clothes on the girls) from a friend who baught a magazine just for the calendar which he got pretty dissapointed at.
Anyway... it looks like a pretty crappy job to me - where the models ain't in the mood for smiling...
David @ Oct 11th 2006 7:38PM
"oh come on, like the fragdolls are actually good at videogames?"
Have you ever played them to know?
Josh @ Oct 11th 2006 7:48PM
I don't find them attractive. I'm not into selling sex.
_habit_ @ Oct 11th 2006 8:12PM
Wiimot... DS + Rumble Pak... I bet these girls hate the PS3 controller change, and the new one not having rumble.
fakiu @ Oct 12th 2006 4:51PM
wheres the link????
Michael Daniels @ Oct 11th 2006 9:57PM
Come on, guys! I bet some of these girls actually ARE gamers. If my mom plays games, whose to say a hot, naked girl can't?
Besides, I bet half of you -- even being dudes -- have found yourself playing games naked when no one was around. You don't have to admit it here, but you know it's true.
And 25 bucks for the calendar seems fine to me. It's 12 x 18 incHes! That's a lot bigger then this lame calendars at bookstores that are staple bound.
I wonder who's behind this project. I'm sure we'll find out soon.
Paul Gale @ Oct 11th 2006 11:22PM
Awesome calendar and we at least know that two of the months feature Nintendo products…now I wonder what the rest are like. Still, hot girls with videogames = a happy gamer.

Girls don't play video games. Only goblins that pose as women, like the FragDolls.
The ZeroCorpse @ Oct 12th 2006 5:12AM
FragDolls and PMS most certainly recruit based on looks.
Show me one short, fat, ugly FragDoll or PMS Clan member. Just ONE.
JPRacer @ Oct 12th 2006 7:35AM
Who cares if these beautiful creatures play video game or not. When you see a hot girl next to a car in a calendar this doesn't mean the girl is a car driver or something...
PMS and FD suck @ Oct 24th 2006 7:58PM
Like #11 Hyperion said:
"PMS Clan and the Frag Dolls are a slap in the face to real gamers, male and female."
I completely agree. I've played with both of them and well frankly they suck at every game! They are only a "clan" and "popular" because they have vaginas and are DECENT looking.

"24. I find it hilarious that it's okay to say that all male gamers are fat nerdy virgins, but whenever someone tries to say that about female gamers people try to defend them."
interesting, and i cant help but agree.
anyways, t3h chicks are TOTALLY hott, but i agree. they should put away their sexy modeling bad girl faces and just look like they are enjoying video games and smile a little...while being naked. or maybe a little bit of BOTH. ya...thats sounds GREAT.
and a few more samples would have been nice.
and if i could find a hott chick who likes starwars, and could beat me at halo, i would probably ask her to marry me right then and there.

PMS Clan DOES NOT recruit based on looks, age, skill or anything else OTHER then a love of gaming.
