Top Models Game in the Buff, Too (Kotaku) - Sure, you can get pictures of Warcraft. And sure, you can get nude pictures of Adrianne Curry. But now, through the magic of Twitter, you can get both in one picture.

Who knows why Curry, the first winner of America's Next Top Model, chose to share this, but she did over Twitter last night. Lots of people game in the buff, but not many of them look like her.

Schafer wants more Brutal Legend DLC (eurogamer) - In an interview with GamePro, Brutal Legend director Tim Schafer has said he intends to do more downloadable content (DLC) for both sides of the game.

"We definitely want to do more DLC for both single-player and multiplayer, as well as some tuning patches," he said.

He was a little more evasive when quizzed on the game's sales and reception, both of which were lukewarm. He's "for the most part very happy" with players' and critics' response to the game, and says he hasn't looked at sales numbers yet.

Child's Play raises over $1 million for children's charities (gamesindustry.biz) - Child's Play, the community-based games industry charity founded by Penny Arcade comic creators Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik, has raised more than USD 1 million just weeks into its latest appeal.
