Denis Dyack, In Bed With The Penthouse Pets, Part 3

That’s right, we got more Denis Dyack than we know what to do with. In this segment (number three out of a total four) Dyack touches on how he got into the games industry and offers some advice to the would be coders out there chugging suicide-sized cans of Red Bull while throwing together the next Geometry Wars. Turns out Dyack, as a member of his collegiate wrasslin’ team, crossed over from the world of athletics into computer science. “I made a metamorphosis from a jock that worked out six hours a day,” says Dyack, “to a scholar that worked on a computer 24 hours a day.” If you subscribe to Playboy’s description of E3 it’s almost as if Dyack is the walking embodiment of the tradeshow. Uh…just hit the jump to watch the video. Read the rest of this entry »

Denis Dyack Explains Too Human To Our Penthouse Pets, Part 1

Microsoft will release Denis Dyack’s opus, Too Human, in a couple of weeks. Which makes it a great time to unveil the last segments in our In Bed With The Pets series from GDC 2008. In this video Dyack climbs into bed with the lingerie-clad Heather Vandeven and Jaime Lynn to explain how he decided on using the Norse mythology as a backstory, contemplates the human soul and does an admirable job of using phrases like “upgraded body parts” without breaking eye contact with the ladies.

Introducing Girl On Game: Justine Joli Signs Up As Our Guest Reviewer

Justine Joli has all the necessary credentials for a video game reviewer. She has a brain, thumbs and extra time on her hands. The fact that she has a side gig as a burlesque dancer / pornstar / Penthouse Pet just kind of adds to the spice of it all. Justine first showed up in the Complex Network as a floor correspondent for New York Comic Con. After seeing the kind of grip Joli has pop culture, and the hypnotic power she seems to have over comic geeks, we figured she could handle some light review duties. Now she’s going to handle the occasional handheld game review in her new column, Girl on Game. Check the video above from her photo shoot. (We need to show something other than game screens when she’s doing a review, no?) In our short Q&A she manages to turn the tables on her interviewer, our very own Richard “Treats” Dryden. Stay tuned for her first Girl on Game column and her review of God of War: Chains of Olympus, debuting tomorrow.
