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.

You could do the exact same thing in Mass Effect (Bioware's game before Dragon Age), why is this catching on now? I still play pokemon. I play warcraft. And I'm awesome. | |

I was just unclear on whether Edmonton was called after the place or after a figure. No need to be condescending. Holy ballsack, is that a cemetery in the foreground!?

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. Wait, I'll correct myself two people..... some animation. Oh. Please. ===== [Edited 12/8/09 21:30pm] | |

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. Andy is a four letter word. | |

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. "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" | |
