Video: Do Adult Film Stars Play Video Games Too?

Adult film stars are video gamers too. At least that was the theory that we tried to prove when we visited CES’ naughty next door neighbor, the Adult Entertainment Expo. In our 2nd annual visit to the AEE, it was our goal to prove what we tried to establish last year… that you can’t go anywhere without finding someone that is into video games.

Last year we talked with Jesse Jane, Jenny Hendrix, Sinn Sage, and Mia Rose, and although we ran into some familiar faces (like Taylor Byrd) and a whole slew of new talent (cha-ching!), this year we also came face-to-face with a true legend of the adult film industry… Ron Jeremy (who happens to be starring in his own video game)! Some other folks we ran into include a rep from the notorious Fleshlight (ew?), some oddly out of place techies from Iomega (doubling up on CES and AEE!), and a giant, mechanical, riding… you get the idea.

So did we actually find anyone that plays video games at the Adult Entertainment Expo? You’ll have to watch the video to find out, but you’ll be surprised with some of the answers! Click through the break to watch the entire AEE video!

CES 2010: Sneak Peek at ATI Graphics Cards

In his search for the latest gamer hardware at CES 2010, our own Mike B. (aka Fony from ZAM's BFF Report) got the chance to talk with Darren McPhee of AMD ATI Graphics about their upcoming video cards. We got a sneak peek at cards like the entry level AMD ATI Radeon HD 5450, which will launch next month for under $100, and Codename: Trillian, a card that can support six display outputs.

CES 2010: Razer's Product Line-Up

In many MMO gaming households, the word “peripheral” has become synonymous with the name “Razer.” Since the mid 1990s, Razer has been pushing the envelope in gaming peripheral technology, introducing the first 2000 dpi mouse (the Boomslang) in 1999 and continually innovating and revolutionizing the industry since then. On top of all hardware notoriety, Razer has retained an immense amount of support from their users; a simple look at Razer’s Facebook page and their 73,336 fans can attest to a dedication to their fan base.

So when ZAM was invited to take a behind-the-scenes glimpse at their hardware during the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show, we weren’t going to take that opportunity lightly. In previous years, Razer has garnered some of the most prestigious awards doled out by the show and its corresponding press, so a chance to see what’s on the docket for Razer in the coming year couldn’t be missed.

CES 2010: ATI Eyefinity and Ostendo Monitors Video

Although tech and video gaming expos are always full of circus-like entertainment, this year’s CES was bordering on the E3s of yesteryear, complete with carnival barkers and audience competitions. One of the more prominent displays of boardwalk showmanship was at the ATI Eyefinity booth, which featured gamers going head-to-head in Dirt 2 using a triple-screen setup being powered by the new Eyefinity.

After taking part in the competition, our own Mike B. aka Fony (from ZAM’s BFF Report) was invited to the super-secret ATI suite where he got to check out the Eyefinity running some of the world’s first wrap around monitors. We talked with the reps from Ostendo, the makers of the extreme monitors, to find out exactly what kind of specs their products have and how much cash it would take to have your own setup at home.

CES 2010: Steel Series and Their Peripherals

Gaming mice and peripherals are pretty standard fare for MMO enthusiasts these days. Every mouse manufacturer seems to have a product that could be utilized in one of our games, but only a select few companies have the real passion to deliver mice, keyboards, headphones and other products that really put an emphasis on what’s best for the competitive PvE or PvP player. One of the most passionate companies in the business is Steel Series, and at CES 2010 they had a handful of new products that exemplified this focus.

CES 2010: Maingear and "The Shift"

If there’s one thing that every gamer is looking forward to in their post-CES coverage, it’s the computer manufacturers showing off their high end graphics-pumping machines. Maingear made a splash at this year’s CES with their enormous and unnervingly quiet computer known as “The Shift.” To grill the Maingear representative, we brought in our faceman, The BFF Report’s Mike B. aka Fony, and let him learn all the ins and outs of the Maingear Shift.

CES 2010: Bigfoot Networks and Killer Xeno

In many ways, the Consumer Electronics Show is like a circus. It has three main showcase areas, plenty of food and drink for everyone at the event and its fair share of bombastic individuals trying to draw the eye of the audience to their act. The atmosphere is almost electric, and not from the current running through the latest Samsung flatscreen TV.

So it was a relief when the ZAM staff met with Michael Howse and John Drewry, the CEO and VP of Marketing of Bigfoot Networks, in an area just off of CES’ North Hall. If you’re not familiar with Bigfoot Networks, you may at least be familiar with their flagship product, the Killer NIC, which unburdens your CPU from the effort of networking through the motherboard and instead pushes it all through the Killer NIC card. Think of it like onboard graphics versus an Nvidia or ATI card, you’d see a substantial difference almost immediately with the change.

CES 2010: Tritton Headsets Video

Even with the 3D revolution on full display, CES 2010 sported plenty of headset manufacturers showing off their wares. Dozens of companies were showcasing their audio products, each with their own particular twist on the latest in surround sound. Being the gamer that he is, ZAM's Mike B. aka Fony had to get in on the action and listen to the top ear-ticklers in the market. Right at the top of his docket was Tritton, the creators of the impresive AX Pro.

In this video, Fony takes a listen to this extreme headset, plays a bit of the upcoming Dark Void video game, and checks out all the latest from Tritton. Once you're done watching, don't miss out on all our other CES 2010 content!

CES 2010: Dell and Alienware Video

Along with graphics cards, 3D screens, and other hardware finery, gaming computers were some of the headliners at CES 2010, and this year  ZAM's video frontman from The BFF Report, Mike B. aka Fony, was invited to the Alienware suite to check out their latest desktops and laptops. If you haven't been following the latest trends in Alienware computing, their latest push has been towards miniscule laptops - more along the size of a netbook - and they were showing off their smallest version yet.

So just how small was the laptop that Fony saw? Click through the break to find out, and if you haven't seen all of our CES 2010 videos, make sure you click here!

CES 2010: LEGO Universe Video

Despite the fact that CES is more of a hardware focused show, NetDevil opted to set-up a booth on the show floor for their upcoming MMO, LEGO Universe. The response they received was amazing, and people were snatching up their free minifigs by the handful. To check out the latest on LEGO Universe, the ZAM staff and Mike B. aka Fony interviewed the title's lead producer, Chris Sherland, to find out the ins and outs of the upcoming game.
