Propaine…in my brain, by Dave Tran

however…during an audition with Kollaboration, the first word in the title cleverly replaced the other word for “white lady.”……I think.

Ex-Activision Employee is Playboy’s Miss November: Grace Kim

 

It’s easy to empathize, because we’ve all been there, or close. You have your 9 to 5 job, it’s a good gig, the work’s interesting. Then an amazing once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes along and you have to sneak out to chase it. Grace Kim, as Activision’s PR lead for Guitar Hero, was in that spot a year ago in October 2007.“I was giving so many excuses,” Grace said, “I even went to CVS and bought crutches, and pretended I had a fractured ankle. At this point, Activision was getting annoyed. They were really heavily promotingGuitar Hero: Aerosmith, and Guitar Hero for the DS. My boss was getting really upset.”

Finally, on the fifth straight day away from the office, she couldn’t think up any more alibis. So she quit, but she couldn’t tell Activision why.

She was in front of a camera, taking off all of her clothes for Playboy, becoming Miss November, 2008.

“It was difficult for me to come home from the shoot and then write a bunch of press releases for Guitar Hero,” she said. “I couldn’t tell them I was going to be in Playboy. At that point, I didn’t want anybody to know at the time. I hadn’t told anybody, not my parents or my friends or anyone.” (more at Kotaku)Myspace blog

She’s certainly a good looking woman with an edge and a brain to make geeks and gamers with Asian fetishes drool.  Reading her blog on myspace, she mentioned the reason why she left Activision was because of how upper management micromanaged everything and made it difficult for employees to get their job done. I’ve actually worked with Activision before and completely understand where’s she’s coming from…..My old boss would work with their main sales rep and they’d fight like married couples over details that shouldn’t matter.  Sure, she was the head PR rep for Guitar Hero and had great benefits for the leading game company, but it’s certainly not Blizzard’s WOW and StarCraft 2!  Oh wait….Activision owns a piece of Blizzard…….hmmmm…she also looks like one of my current co-workers…. 
Anyways, good luck to her and I hope she lands a gig on Attack of the Show with Olivia Munn!
