A Playboy model that's a serious gamer?

Dream 05-16-2008

Do Playboy models love video games? On a first meeting with Jo Garcia, it'd be easy to levy skepticism. She's Playboy's "Cyber Girl Of The Year," beating out 52 weeks of rival models in an online-only competition. It just happens, Garcia said, that she's "really big into games."

We've seen many beautiful faces representing themselves as gamers, of course; booth babes, models and even amateur cam girls using photos of themselves posed suggestively with game paraphernalia to sell products or drive web hits. Because of this phenomenon, every time you see a so-called "hot gamer chick," the temptation is to assume she can't possibly be an actual gamer.

So is Jo Garcia the real deal? Full interview - and slightly NSFW pics - follow the jump.

"People don't understand that that the whole gaming world is not just for geeks, and assume that every person who plays video games is a geek that wears glasses," Garcia
said. "It's a misnomer that needs to be put to rest."

Garcia told us she plays PC games and console titles, and owns both a Nintendo DS and a PSP. "It's something that I carry with me everywhere, like some people carry their iPods. It's the norm to me. I've had people send me messages like, 'oh you play video games?' And I'm like, 'why are you so surprised?"

"If I could get a job... being a game tester, I would do that all day long."

It's not such a surprise anymore Raven, more and more women do and admit to it. Now say she was single and lived up here, then I'd be piqued.

And that is Hsooly's semi flirt message for this month. If you single and in canada be sure to let Hsooly know.

Hsoolien

Hot, intelligent, interesting, interested, non-smoker, I'm really not that picky

Raven

How many mor characters of a person can Hool come up with that begin with the letter I. For a second there I thought he was going to keep going.

Hsoolien

I suppose I could use incredible, but I figured I had that covered by hot and intelligent
