Life As A Soul Calibur Model

Tim Grube writes "Have you ever wondered what it is like to be a model at E3? The process is long and very tiring. Just think, what if you had to prepare to be a character from a videogame on stage that involves a sword fight. Professional stuntman and actor Ilram Choi has been in multiple commercials for Nike and Mountain Dew. At this year's E3 Ilram was cast as Soul Calibur III's Mitsurugi. Ilram wrote a diary on the days leading up to E3."

  1. Hm... No... by Seumas · · Score: 4, Funny

    No... No... I've never really wondered, actually.

    Is the next article going to expose us to the life of wannabe starlets who think trade shows are their step to fame and aging strippers who need to keep putting cash in the kitty to afford their "habit"? Maybe we'll get to find out what it takes to be a food vendor at E3. Or how harrowing it is to be part of the janitorial crew...

      Knowing most of geeks I know, I'd be willing to say the food vendor at E3 could claim hazardous duty pay.

  2. Can't make this shit up... by DrunkenTerror · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's nothing! I was reading the newspaper today... The local honor roll list. Some loving parents named their daughter Shiteria Nachelle Pissdale. Shiteria!?! WTF do you call her for short? Gee forever! I could hardly believe it. Man, I think I might just kill my parents in their sleep over something like that. Someone at the hospital shoulda intervened. I'm in eastern NC, FWIW.

    Moderation requires no justification. Submit to the will of the collective. You are being watched.

  4. Looks like Namco's costume budget was on the cheap by Webapprentice · · Score: 2, Funny

    The stuntman's costume seems pretty mediocre quality compared some cosplayers' interpretations of Mitsurugi's 1P outfit.
