Question: the article says Bioware is Edmonton-based. Where is this?

Canada. What's somewhat surprising is that Edmonton is the capital of Alberta, easily our most conservative province.

It's also the murder capital of Canada. That place is starting to sound pretty hardcore. lol

I have a soft spot for Edmonton, seeing as it's my hometown. But it's gotten pretty rough in recent years. I would have to think long and hard about ever moving back. My old neighbourhood, Norwood, was never upscale, but since my family moved in 1991 it's really gone to shit. luv4u could confirm this.

What's the problem? Alberta is the wealthiest province, so would poverty still be a major concern?

Organized crime, poverty, hugely uneven distribution of wealth, systemic racism....

It may come as a surprise to you colonial types, but where there is a Canadian/American/Australian place was usually named after a pre-existing town in the UK.wink

Unfortunately, the "Edmonton" in London is not a quaint little village anymore - it's (mostly) an absolute dump: http://farm4.static.flick...ee7d42.jpg

There are others. Both Fable game have same sex relationships, Mass Effect has one and one of the Start Wars Kinghs of the old Republic. Si I am not sure why this game would cause any problems. And it is rated M.

I like playing Fable.....waitin' for part 3.

I know perfectly well that nearly all North American places with European-sounding names were named for an existing place or after a person. I was just unclear on whether Edmonton was called after the place or after a figure. No need to be condescending.


omfg Holy ballsack, is that a cemetery in the foreground!?

Sorry, I forgot that Canadians are more likely to be self-aware than, say, just for the sake of example, Americans.....wink

Thank you. Damn, I'm tryin' trying to figure how, where, and when I can get "some". WTF I care about what two people are doing in a video game. Shit, I can't join. shrug


Wait, I'll correct myself two people..... some animation. Oh. Please.

I don't understand these video games of today. That looks more like a movie. That doesn't look like a game at all. Why in the hell would a "scene" of any kind be in a game to begin with? What's the object of the game? What are the players doing?

Hell, the last time I played a video game, it was in an arcade and it was a Pac Man eating some dots and being chased by ghosts. The object of the game was to eat up all the dots without being eaten by the ghosts. I didn't see any object or goal in that video clip. As I said before, it just looked like a movie instead of a game.

It is a roll playing game. You play a character, your character under the players actions develops both skills and relationships with NPCs (non-playable characters). The choice to have a sexual encounter is up to the player. In the clip there are several chances the player has to not select the scene.

Now you mention Pac-Man. Well in the game Ms. Pac Man, there are cut scenes in which she meets pac man. Over time they fall in pac love and have kids. So even back then there was implied pac-sex.
