There is a new video game out called "Dragon Age-origins". It is a knight/warrior elf type game (think Dungeons and Dragons) in the genre of Lord of the Rings.
There is more than one sex scene in this game and it's fairly graphic. The kicker is that there are at least three gay (men on men) sex scenes and I'm not sure how many female/female sex scenes, but I know there are a few.
Just wanted to warn you guys becuase I myself like role playing games but was really shocked at this with the nearly naked kissing guys and stuff. I wouldn't have thought much about the kids playing this or seeing me play it and would have been madder had I spent money on it.
Link posted to the release of this game.
eeew.
They are metastatic cancer of the intellect/personality.
Please read “Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill” by Dave Grossman. (http://www.killology.com/book_stop_summary.htm
I struggle every day with the effects on my (now 27 year-old) son of 15 years of Operant Conditioning from increasingly violent video games. I rue the day I ever brought the 1st Nintendo home.

EEEWWW!
Still, if I’m reading the clips right, you kind of have to ask for it.
Could be a good life-lesson there.
Anyway, I’m not an RPG guy, I’m strictly FPS.
There is no sex in Halo 2. The armor doesn’t even come off. ;-)
Yikes!
Yeah, I think there are steps involved, but I was always one of those people who would read EVERY solution in those ‘decide the book’ books where you “Skip to page 32 if you go into the house, go to page 46 if you walk past”.
I agree both with you and with the prior comments saying, in essence, “But it DOES carry an M rating (ESRB), so parents really shouldn’t be letting their under-17-ish kids get it anyway.”
Thanks.
BTW, the ratings on these games aren’t very helpful. I read that the raters play about 20 mins. and then rate the game. The designers know that and put the gross stuff so that it comes up after the gamer has gotten a few levels done.
Properly written, if your character begs for buggery then he would
thereafter have difficulty walking, be shunned by others, contract
a hideous disease and die alone and in shame.
That’s probably why they don’t let me write these things.
I don’t care what Advil says, I have never seen ANYTHING like this on a sitcom.
Yes, but that’s just good wholesome fun.
Not only these games but alot of games have “add-ons” or whatever they call them, that you can download from the internet.
GrandTheftAuto, for instance, had a download where the player got a prostitute (full graphic interactive sex - player changing positions - building to climax - whatnot)
even if the game seems OK, it can be made bad.
Agree whole heartedly!
And girly little sissy men, not necesarily queer. I stick to shows like Deadliest Catch and the like.
Whaddya expect; you get dragons - you get FAIRYS
It’d be nice if one could (virtually) hack ‘em up with one’s (virtual) sword.
“Kiss THIS twinkletoes!” (Hack, slash, crunch, splash, thud.)
Buy your kids a Lego set instead. ;-)
I’m actually all for this although I don’t play that particular game. The online games I do play are frequently made less fun by way of all of the 12-16 yo’s whose parents let them play unsupervised. They are loud, obnoxious, frequently foul-mouthed and they detract from the game being played by the adults.
Interesting links. Have you read Richard Rhodes book “Why They Kill?” which was about the theories of Criminologist Lonnie Athens? Athens detailed the creation of violent criminals through a process of “violentization”, and what you posted may certianly apply.
This isn’t an online game.
