Schlumpy, balding guy: Are you a frag doll?
Cute red head: *nods*
Schlumpy balding guy: Cool ... I'm not. *small chuckle*
Frag doll: ...

Wow, rofl. I'd love to see the look on that girl's face...

Obie @ Jul 15th 2008 9:10PM

Actually props to that balding dude, he p0wned her.
I mean we ALL win by NOT being a Frag doll.

GenBanks @ Jul 15th 2008 8:35PM

I wish I were at E3, between the Everquest dude and this it sounds like you guys are enjoying yourselves :(

theturtle363 @ Jul 15th 2008 8:58PM

When I grow up I wanna be Justin McElroy!

Dan @ Jul 16th 2008 10:46AM

WHOAH..JESUS CHRIST THEY'RE SO FREAKING HOT!

Obie @ Jul 15th 2008 8:39PM

More power to female gamers.
Down with tacky corporate shills like the Frag Dolls.

"Girl power!Buy UbiSoft games! We'll give you a bikini carwash if you do!"

Markez (MKWii 4339-2878-5120) @ Jul 15th 2008 10:40PM

Did you just infer that you mean down with bikini car washes!?

DigTheDoug @ Jul 15th 2008 11:04PM

You 'infer', I 'imply'

ugg.tryptophan @ Jul 15th 2008 11:10PM

i dont want to see any of those women in bikinis

Markez (MKWii 4339-2878-5120) @ Jul 15th 2008 11:14PM

@ ugg.tryptophan

My comment below also applies to you.

ugg.tryptophan @ Jul 15th 2008 11:21PM

lol , im down with bikinis just not the fragdolls

Markez (MKWii 4339-2878-5120) @ Jul 15th 2008 11:23PM

ugg.

I apologize for being a douche. I admit, that broad in the middle is heinous. But cmon, give me a break... Broads... Bikinis... Except the red head? Not a single one?

Obie @ Jul 15th 2008 11:40PM

Bikini carwashes rock, just not by them.

finaldarklord @ Jul 15th 2008 8:43PM

Man, fuck the frag dolls. Figuratively, not literally, as there isn't a one among them that that makes my dick so much as twitch.

Bitches like these leave a bad taste in my mouth, and I can imagine they leave a worse taste in the mouths of the female gaming population.

As if that isn't bad enough, I can vouch for at least 2 of them being utter shit gamers. My friend and I played them in Chaos Theory back when it was new and it wasn't even a challenge.

MC Double Def DP @ Jul 15th 2008 9:53PM

mother not love you as a child?

finaldarklord @ Jul 15th 2008 10:09PM

Not as much as your's did.

Jim Halpert DM @ Jul 15th 2008 10:14PM

*sigh* how mature....

Markez (MKWii 4339-2878-5120) @ Jul 15th 2008 10:42PM

So you'll turn up when the fragboys do E3?

Dan @ Jul 16th 2008 11:02AM

What are you...12??? If so I could understand, your only hitting puberty now and its natural to push away woman still at this age....

You'll learn one day..

Vegnagun bwf @ Jul 15th 2008 8:45PM

These E3 reports are cracking me up.

Mr.ESC @ Jul 15th 2008 8:49PM

I hate Ubi SO MUCH!

Jomolungma @ Jul 15th 2008 8:54PM

I love how Ubi goes after the girl tween market with as straight a face as possible, but then rolls out one of the more sexist, misogynistic gaming cliches out there with the Frag Dolls. Who do they think their fooling?

Kyle Orland @ Jul 16th 2008 2:34AM

To clarify, this happened in the AUDIENCE of the press conference. The frag dolls did not officially take part...

AoE @ Jul 15th 2008 9:26PM

people who don't read gaming blogs or attend E3?

Jomolungma @ Jul 15th 2008 9:28PM

I guess it must be working on somebody, because ad dollars are being spent people! AD DOLLARS ARE BEING SPENT! (imagining crazed marketing dude trying to justify Frag Doll existence)

Ass Masterson @ Jul 15th 2008 8:58PM

Yeah, the 'Frag Dolls' are ridiculous. Not even moderately cute. The way this industry overcompensates by lavishing praise on any woman who pokes her head up is ridiculous, and leads to nonsense like Assassins Creed selling a billionty copies because never-been-laid fanboys think Jade is HAWWWWT!!!

Obie @ Jul 15th 2008 9:01PM

Dude, name one person that bought Assasins Creed because a woman was at the helm?

Mr.ESC @ Jul 15th 2008 9:10PM

I bought AC because Ubi promise me it would be POP meets Hitman and they also promise me I would be the Almond King of The Jade Empire.

Guess what happened next? (The Jade Empire is not even a real place)

theturtle363 @ Jul 15th 2008 9:14PM

see I thought Almomd king of the jade empire was some sort of innuendo for you being promised Jade Raymond

Mr.ESC @ Jul 15th 2008 9:24PM

Maybe that's what they meant.
Oh boy I better check if the offer is still valid.

(No seriously I thought AC was going to be a good game, the Gamespot review was a trap. It was before the Jeff “Gefermehen” gate A.K.A The fatman drama.)

mcatrage @ Jul 15th 2008 9:53PM

Obie, he did he was talking about himself.

theturtle363 @ Jul 15th 2008 8:59PM

I'm guessing the cute red head wasn't the manly looking one right there. Please tell me it wasnt

AoE @ Jul 15th 2008 9:27PM

you mean tranny frag doll? i bet it was

Levi @ Jul 15th 2008 9:33PM

Most shlumps that attend these cons will hit on anything with tits. There is something about these conventions that empowers them. Most of these guys wouldn't dare speak to the opposite sex outside of the convention. But once they're in, they feel confident enough to speak to the paid girls.

theturtle363 @ Jul 16th 2008 1:27AM

maybe i should go

Alex K. @ Jul 15th 2008 8:59PM

yeah the frag dolls are far too commercial. since when do any female gamers you know look that hot?

as was previously mentioned, they aren't all that good, either. have they ever won a major championship? probably myself and a group of friends could best them in certain games. i could certainly beat all of them in star wars episode 1: podracer.

Ass Masterson @ Jul 15th 2008 9:00PM

Look up 'misogyny'. It doesn't mean what you think it means. Seeing women behave in a manner you think is embarrassing isn't 'misogyny'.

theturtle363 @ Jul 15th 2008 9:03PM

well it was a big enough word for me to ignore in the first place

Obie @ Jul 15th 2008 9:09PM

It's called "My super sweet 16" ;)

Jomolungma @ Jul 15th 2008 9:23PM

But strutting good looking women out in front of a mainly male demographic to sell them games under the guise of "these are female gamers" can be considered a misogynistic act by Ubisoft, as well as sexist. It's basically using these girls as prettier versions of Joe Camel.

Dwag @ Jul 15th 2008 9:07PM

I don't see the problem other then they weren't booth babes and work for Ubisoft(only gave me 1 game to look forward to).

Matt @ Jul 15th 2008 9:08PM

You shouldn't refer to Chris Grant as a "schlumpy balding guy", it hurts his feelings.

silverfox @ Jul 15th 2008 9:09PM

from top left corner going right; no,yes,yes,no,yes,maybe,no

Levi @ Jul 15th 2008 9:37PM

yes, yes, yes, no (unless I'm drunk and she keeps the gloves on), yes, yes, yes.

I got low standards I guess.

brokenscope @ Jul 15th 2008 9:13PM

Only one of them is "unattractive", but I still thing they are all shills who should be ashamed of themselves.

Turkish Superman @ Jul 15th 2008 9:19PM

The UK Frag Dolls "retired" a couple of weeks ago.

Sad, sad times. :(

Sesur @ Jul 15th 2008 9:20PM

fuck those whores. They're a detriment to both femininity and gaming.

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Jul 16th 2008 10:09AM

...Says the man calling them whores.

Dan @ Jul 16th 2008 11:09AM

Another one thats trying to justify themselves.
Wanna do some sexism justice, go tell the girls on rap videos with no clothes on what they are doing wrong.

Don't bring that crap here when the only thing different from these girls to other male teams is that they are all females and have a lil charm.

Seriously man.... grow up, your not mature so don't act it. :)

Sesur @ Jul 16th 2008 9:46PM

who said I was mature?

I will not be going out of my way to address people who don't value themselves enough to refrain from this kind of whoring about sexism; its a waste of my time.

So... I don't know, just get over yourself because I was merely commenting on the whores; not trying to "do some sexism justice".
