And whereas quality porn in literature is the extreme opposite of sexist, anything vaguely erotic in video games is usually so sexist it's downright offending.gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497613771780431048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881574431924666276.post-66794953153203658822011-01-30T23:38:12.188+00:002011-01-30T23:38:12.188+00:00It's probably worth remembering practically al...It's probably worth remembering practically all visual media throughout history has included a porn version at some point - usally right in it's infancy - whether it sexually explicit wood-cuttings, Guttenberg=printed bawdy stories, Victorian nude photographs, What-The_Butler saw machines, dirty movies, pornographic videos, etc etc.<br /><br />Videogames are not an exception to this rule. It's been tried several times, it's still being done today (XXX BMX, Rumble Roses). The key difference with explicit video-games is that they usually make for very boring games.Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881574431924666276.post-33453580589585228612011-01-27T09:25:09.412+00:002011-01-27T09:25:09.412+00:00Indeed.

I'm actually somewhat tempted to get that ridiculous game since it is one of those infamous titles that everyone knows about but nobody actually owns. <br /><br />In that same 1983 magazine where I read the article on Custer there was also an article about another recurring topic - Are Video Games Art? Most recently stirred up by the whole Roger Ebert thing. To paraphrase the new Battlestar Galactica - all of this has happened before, and it will happen again.MadPlanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06725908232972984690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881574431924666276.post-4109333651395183172011-01-26T21:49:20.045+00:002011-01-26T21:49:20.045+00:00Oh, come on, we're still young.

I've yet to decide if we should call it a "status symbol" or not... It's funny how people still talks about this after 28 years, and... wait, it was released less than a month before I was born... *creeps*Mikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564899192015274424noreply@blogger.com
