Happy December

I've been in a strangely good mood lately. I think it's because pretty soon I'm probably going to nail a job. It's just a feeling.

There was a jar of sauce I used to top some meats with. It is a savory sweet sauce that didn't have any carbs. It didn't stop anyone from throwing it away. Gah.

Anywho, I've been reading up on some stuff. I'm curious where the congressional hearings are regarding Dead or Alive Xtreme 2. I mean there's a LOT more suggestive stuff in that, right? RIGHT. There's fucking POLE DANCING. Not that I'm complaining, I just find it interesting that GTA San Andreas got the beat down regarding a sequence that was removed from the game that could be hacked back into existance (which, without the nude textures that aren't in the game essentially comes down to enabling dry-humping), while a game with bikini-girls (which some said bikinis are no bigger than string and seashells) pole dancing as part of the game barely gets a blip.

Again, I'm not complaining. Just a curiosity. I wonder if the US could handle a true widespread release of a porn game. Events have certainly been leading up to it. The Guy Game, BMX XXX, Leisure Suit Larry Magna Cum Laude, Playboy Mansion, DOAX2... all dancing around the same thing but nobody wants to take the initiative and slam it forward.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the pond, it seems Japan has no problem with it. Valis had the 10 year anniversary earlier this year and the company that holds the rights to it celebrated by making a downloadable hentai game around it. It's not even the first time... alongside general released games under the Valis franchise, Japan got erotically charged side versions of the games. Hell, Gainax officially licensed the characters from Neon Genesis Evangelion for a strip poker game.

I really wonder what would happen if a mainstream company released for a home console a game like, say, Interact Play VR. That game goes that you are a rapist looking for targets and the rape itself is interactive: Press the mouse button while hovering over a nipple and you could fondle it, for instance.

I raise this question because: what if they were all up in arms because it was that there was AO content in an M game? Was it an excuse to wail on Rockstar due to all the GTA games which always seemed to get press over how "evil" they are?

I'm not even saying I would buy an explicitly naughty game for a home console system. There's something kind of weird about putting "Long Dong Donkey Kong" next to "Super Monkey Ball" on your shelf, for instance. BUT, I have found maybe hundreds of video captures from DOAX2 showing off the skimpiest of the skimpy, the sluttiest of the slutty, and blah blah blah so I'd say without any hesitation that they would most certainly sell.
