Biography |
Born on July 7, 1977, in Buffalo, New York, her family moved
from town to town frequently during her youth. Before
entering high school, Jessica Chobot lived in several places
on the East Coast and all around the Midwest. Perhaps to
make amends for the stress caused by so much relocating at
such a young age, her folks indulged her increasing
addiction to video games by buying just about any system the
budding hardcore gamer desired.
By the time she reached her teens, Jessica Chobot was
supplementing her gaming obsession with other interests. She
went through a punk/goth phase that encompassed a preference
for combat boots, Nietzsche and vampires. She also
discovered role-playing games during this time, as
characters like Malkavian and Toreador from White Wolf's
Vampire: The Masquerade became her alter egos. She joined
her first LARPing group while she was attending college in
Ohio.
After earning her bachelor of fine arts degree, Jessica
Chobot attempted to overcome her gaming obsession and joined
the nine-to-five world as an administrative assistant at a
real estate agency. After a few years of steady office work,
her obsession was reignited when she started getting into
games like World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XI. A sizable
tax refund, coupled with an emotional meltdown, made her
decide to buy a one-way ticket to Japan to start a whole new
life. As her money ran out before she could secure any
long-term work, she eventually found herself back home in
the States. She got married and returned to college to
obtain a teaching certificate in art education with a minor
in literature and video game character design.
Following her graduation, Jessica Chobot landed a job at EB
Games, and also started doing some modeling work for the I
Group and Talent Shop in Detroit. In 2005, she showed up for
a photo shoot with a Sony PSP pack she just happened to have
picked up before the session. Eager to show off her latest
toy, shots of her with the system were taken, including one
in which she sensually licked the PSP.
She sent the sexy snap shot to Kotaku.com on a lark, not
believing they'd actually ever post it. To Jessica Chobot's
surprise, the image was put up on their site and they
quickly began receiving e-mails inquiring about the identity
of the licker. Kotaku's EIC then offered her a job as a game
reviewer for RedAssedBaboon.com. At an IGN E3 party that
year, she met an IGN.com rep and began freelancing for their
Insider channel. |
