Well, rumors have been abounding about a particular Ion Storm employee appearing in a future issue of Playboy. Here's the info I just received, Stevie "KillCreek" Case, level designer at Ion Storm will be featured in an upcoming issue of Playboy magazine to hit stands in a couple of months. She's going to be shooting the photos the 2nd week of October up in Chicago. The "theme" of course will be based around her being a female gamer and developer, and there will be nudity involved. Curious how it happened? Stevie was "discovered" when a Playboy exec spotted her in a LA Times article and they just gave her a call. Wish I had people calling me saying "Hey, wanna get naked?"

update: Here is word from Stevie "FYI, Playboy had some test pictures taken before the decided to feature me. Also, the whole deal was set up without the involvement of Ion or Romero. I actually have my own brain and make real life decisions all by myself now! God forbid!! Its just one giant conspiracy! ;-)"
