Let’s dig into the reader mailbag kiddies! Contrary to popular belief, i still get e-mail! I know! I must be popular or something! LOL! That, my friends, is what i call a crock of shit! Now on with the e-mails!
Chobot Apologism
Justin,
First off, I’ve only ever heard of Chobot through your rants, and have the utmost contempt for IGN and its pathetic, desperate fanbase, anyways.
But don’t say you hate Jessica Chobot. You don’t know shit about Jessica Chobot, and even her image on IGN, which probably isn’t anything like who she is in her private life, is not, objectively, all that horrible.
What you really hate are the cultural tendancies responsible for/represented by her undeserved fame — the very existence of babes.ign.com, and the beyond pathetic, so utterly sexless, sweats-uncontrollably-within-20-feet-of-a-real-woman loserdom and desperation it represents and caters to; the culture where the communal(!) worship of women from afar, or being a monday-morning-quarterback of attractive potential, is considered a valid hobby. And, in that, you and your jerkblog, enjoy it though I, as a pathetic, sexless loser, do, are also responsible.
Yes: Jessica Chobot’s fame is YOUR fault. You must be Jewish to hate yourself this much.
High-res celebrities get me off,
Adam
OOH IGN. Why did i even let them take my monies for 3 years. I cancelled my Insider account in April. I wish i could say that i cancelled it on account of Ms. Chobot (now) writing for Insider, but alas, i can’t. Though i’d totally cancel it right now if i were still an Insider. On account of Jessica Chobot now writing for Insider. You know the DVD IGN editor. Andy Patrizio or whatever the fuck. I hate that guy. Not as much as i hate Chobot but hated nonetheless. He totally pissed me off back in 2002 or whenever (after Nick Nunziata left) when he totally dissed something i totally liked. I think it was Spider-Man or something. I can’t remember anymore. Now, whenever i see the name Andy Patrizio, all i can think about is how much i HATE him. All rhyme and reason has gone OUT THE WINDOW!!!! Who cares WHY i hate him, i just do!!! But before that happens with Jessica Chobot, i should probably make an official record of my reasons for hate.
WHY DO I HATE JESSICA CHOBOT. Let me count the ways:
1. She’s stupid. Everybody agrees on that. And if you don’t think so, i can pull out even more quotes from around the net from people who do think so! As if the ones i’ve already posted haven’t painted a pretty enough picture!
2. This girl is as hardcore a gamer as those fucking bullshit FragDolls. Oh my God, don’t even get me started on the FragDolls. OOOH the FragDolls… whyioughta… but no. Jessica Chobot. Fucking Jessica Chobot. All you have to do is read what other real girl (and guy) gamers think. I give you this:
Dear Chobot,
Media idiocy pandering to the general 20 some year old male hurts gaming. You’re hurting gaming.
The more this happens, the more we get games like Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. The gameplay was shit and the atmosphere annoying because instead of designing a good game they were too busy modeling a steel thong and coming up with catch phrases.
Do you want this kind of shit to leak over into Square-Enix games?
You’re hurting gaming.
Please stop.
Wait. Did that have anything to do with her faux hardcoreness. Perhaps not. But it did give me another opportunity to use more of those nifty <blockquote> tags in yet another one of my Chobot posts!!!
3. The Nintendo bashing. What the hell is up with that. She’s bashes Reggie, she bashes the Revolution, she bashes the Micro and then what’s this! Picks up Nintendogs at E3 and likes it?!?!?! FUCK OFF CHOBOT. Go back to the fucking Sony booth and lick another PocketShitPortable. There’s nothing more that i hate than FANBOYS. If fact, sometimes, just for kicks, to piss myself off, i actually used to go in and read the IGN forums and it made me want to beat myself to death with an XBOX. I think the XBOX is considered a weapon in Japan because of it’s size and weight. That thing can kill a small child. I’d like to drop an XBOX on Chobot’s head. Wait. How did i deviate from point number three – Chobot’s Nintendo bashing – to dropping an XBOX on Chobot’s head? Who cares! Point is, NOBODY DISSES NINTENDO!!!!
4. Have you read any of her columns on RedAssedBaboon? I’d link you, but if you really want to hurt yourself you’re going to have to do it on your own. Instead, read this thread of comments and follow the links that are in there. And for the lazy, some excerpts:
(On Chobot’s articles)
– Apparently as a female you can ramble on for 1.005 pages with no real point or commentary on anything and have it accepted if you say “video games” a few times.
– She keeps talking about not embracing stereotypes when that’s all she’s doing. Yeah, excuse me but I have to go lick my consoles now. I’m sure to gain a magic appreciation for something afterwards. Right.
325. I’m skipping the last 321 reasons and making point number 325 a solution. An ultimate solution to end all my Chobot hate.
The solution:
I’m going to Thailand to pay Tony Jaa to kick her in the face.
Love the site
Hey justin, been reading your site for about 2 years now and I love it to death. I agree that miss chabert is amazing and that choboring or whatever is a tool and is probably getting paid by sony under the table. Though I will never accept nor understand your dislike for alba and trachtenberger.
Take care,
Ryne
YOU WILL ACCEPT IT. YOU WILL ACCEPT IT LIKE KATIE HOLMES HAS ACCEPTED SCIENTOLOGY. Or i will fly to Thailand and pay Tony Jaa to kick you in the face.
