This episode has a ton of sex talk in it! Satine Phoenix is an artist, sculptor, roleplaying game enthusiast and model. She invited me to be a part of a fundraising D and D gaming event and I thought it was long since she should have come on the show to talk Dungeons and Dragons, her former career as a stripper and porn actress and her own writing and artwork. Why not have her on to talk about this fundraising event? Also, she talks all about the scandal of purposefully bringing women by the Geekscape booth at Comic Con to try and ruin Jonathan's life!

She currently holds 103 registered world records in dance and rhythm gaming (and claims to have another 100 that are still being submitted). The Guinness World Record people contacted Geekscape about talking to Elizabeth and since Geekscape always needs more gamers and female subjects, I thought it would be a great idea. I think you will too! We talk about record breaking, old school games versus new school, if videogames cause violence, being hit on by guys online and a ton more! Enjoy!
