XBOX game = lesbian porn?

The game, "Mass Effect," is blowing up in the news today over the possible sex scene a female character and a female alien can have. The two characters can be manipulated to "caress" and "kiss" each other. Interestingly (or rather, not) there is no same-sex shenanigans betwixt any of the male characters.

The news isn't that the female characters can partake in some same sex moments -- because we all know that many games geared toward adults (and some that just aren't) are known to slip in the option of sex scenes. But, the news is that Singapore is banning it because of the "lesbian intimacy" and Singapore says a big, hearty 'NO' to anything having to do with homosexuality.

I'm not sure what emotions to apply here. I'm angry that it's okay in America and most elsewhere to have two female characters behave this way in a game and that you would never, ever see two dude characters acting the same way (all between the killings and the gore, mind you). Hell would freeze OVER.

On the other hand, I'm intrigued. I don't like video games. They bore me and I don't understand the enjoyment. BUT I like everything lesbian, albeit an alien and a She gettin' some action in along the way. So you can see my predicament.

But the best part of the whole story is that the alien, after the action is over, says "By the gods, that was incredible, commander."

Add that to the list of pillow talk. HA!
