NeoGAF,
I assume so. I only keep up with what she's doing through GAF threads like this one. If she leaves Santa Monica we'll no doubt have a thread about it.Is she still a writer there? I guess I haven't seen anything IGN related in so long I don't know whose still there.
Her career trajectory goes something like this
IGN news girl > social media influencer > Sony Santa Monica writer > GDC eye candy
Calm down, white knight. I'm not worried about satisfying your delicate sensibilities.You mean...........
IGN news girl > social media influencer > Sony Santa Monica writer > GDC Host
It's not crazy for a woman to get a job to host a video game show, you know.
Please put your fantasies under a spoiler tag.Imagine if Phil Spencer dressed to show loads of flesh
Fun fact: crossing out the Santa Monica part, Sydnee Goodman had the same trajectory.You mean...........
IGN news girl > social media influencer >Sony Santa Monica writer> Awards Host

Hollywood oscar dress standards have plummeted too, women seem to be competing with each other to show as much flesh as possible, to tease and titillate, while also simultaneously saying they are oppressed and men should stop sexualising them. It's bullshit and should be called out every time they do it.
Nah that's the simps who drool over women like this.
If a man did what she does, he would be roundly ridiculed and would have no credibility at all. But when a woman does it... it's acceptable because... why? You're saying that women are sex objects. Now I'm happy to see and treat women like that, if that's what they want, but they can't simultaneously be respected as my equal because they've chosen not to be. They've chosen to sexualise themselves first and foremost.
Imagine if Phil Spencer dressed to show loads of flesh, or Richard from Digital Foundry. Instead of talking about Xbox or frame rates, we'd be talking about their bodies. Wouldn't that be dumb?
Anyway, of course men cannot do this because it doesn't work if we do it, it's a power only women have. They learn this power at a young age and then use it all their lives (or until it no longer works some time in their 30s / 40s).
did you just assume my mother's gender?Damn, some of these comments are sad. Remember your mother is also a woman
I prefer my women to not talk during head.It’s clear that a lot of you have never interacted with a woman. She may be annoying but at least she’s a gamer and worked/works? In the industry. Could be some talking head
And what. My dad obviously lusted after my mum. Just because I love my mum I can’t want to fuck Alanah in the arse?Damn, some of these comments are sad. Remember your mother is also a woman
People have lost their minds all over. You have one side that is leading jihad over women being sexualized or oversexualized in games. Then you have you the other side who thinks women in real life shouldnt be allowed to put make up on and look good.
You are mistaking things. This is not a private cocktail party, this is an awards show/ceremony about groups of talented people who spent the last X years creating a game and not one individual intentionally or not, trying to steal the show. I don't know whether this horrible dress+shoes combo she is wearing was forced on her or they let her wear whatever she wants. Anyways, next time, hire an expert who can dress the presenters appropriately and someone who can teach them how to speak.She knows she needs to look presentable as a presenter, and there is nothing wrong with showing a bit of cleavage. And there is nothing wrong with admiring a woman for looking stunning. People have lost their damn minds. Saying a hot woman is hot doesnt make you a simp. It makes you a man.

You're not into malignantly narcissistic she-chud thots? wtf is wrong with you?????Looking good.
However personality 3/10, would ignore at parties.

Yes, I can. Money is not the point of life. Worship of and the pursuit of money above all things is evil.I am going to say something. Hopefully I won’t get banned. This is not stereotyping, sexualizing.
I think Alanah is a multi talented person. It is impressive how many things she is able to do. I realize the dress is probably about extending “her brand”. Which seems like what the world is about these days. As long as it makes money. Especially in these inflation driven times. Even if she is a millionaire, she is feeling the inflation.
Anyway, a plastic surgeon i was drinking with told me, men & women benefit from plastic surgery because it helps them in how they view themselves and may help if she suffers from any medical ailments. (I belive she does, btw).
Anyway, the surgeon told me years ago. ”any of us can look like a Ken doll or Barbie, for the price of a Porsche”. “It is up to us to determine which one we get more miles out of.” “The upkeep is completely on us after the fact, and most people don’t do what is required for the upkeep”. “Which is why plastic surgeons make as much as they do”.
Alanah strikes me as a smart person, and doesn’t probably crave the attention like these posters are saying. I think she is trying to expand her “brand”. Again, you can not complain about people trying to get more money!
Other people doing something does not justify doing it.Every company is doing it, millionaire, even video game companies with layoffs, cancellations, delays and price increases.
You're welcome.
I would say “too each their own”. I think we all have enough problems to be critiquing how or what people do with their life.Yes, I can. Money is not the point of life. Worship of and the pursuit of money above all things is evil.

I don’t actually care about the Alanah part, but I had to respond to this sentiment.
"unrealistic, unattainable, objectified version of a woman made exclusively for the male gaze"......amirite?Isn't it ironic that the lady they get to host a game DEVS conference is the exact type of female they'd never dare put in one of their games...
Were you there or did it get live-streamed?The cringe in the air was immense but at least something nice to look at. Terrible presenter though.
I'm surprised the Devs didn't have their arms folded across their eyes when she was on stage.Isn't it ironic that the lady they get to host a game DEVS conference is the exact type of female they'd never dare put in one of their games...
Aww, Men_in_Boxes has found us a gif to use in his next thread. Too kind.NeoGAF,
I think she’s very pretty. Not sure why she’s taking so many hits here. Like anyone, she can take a bad picture here and there.
More hot pics are coming.
Holy shit, how embarrassing.... can you imagine being associated with Jimmy Kimmel?
I just had a quick look at the beginning. Starts around 1h32mWere you there or did it get live-streamed?
That's my face after she plays with my joysticks
The double dick surprise!?That's my face after she plays with my joysticks

I like a girl that can take it on the chin.
I think the reason they accept her is cause she said she is LGBTQIA2++ (she states she is pansexual which really means she is BIsexual as there is no such thing as pansexual).I'm surprised the Devs didn't have their arms folded across their eyes when she was on stage.
