Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Here's a short doc on the upcoming video game, to be released September 16.

Grand Theft Auto Destroying American Families

From Jockhomo:

Who or rather what doesn’t appear in the new version of Grand Theft Auto, true to form the game is even hitting the gay demographic. No, big bruiser Niko Bellic is not gay but rather disturbingly plays a homosexual lothario on an online dating site to lure a gay Irish American mobster. Damn, my ears perked up regarding the gay sequence, but surprise the play is handled brilliantly and with a great deal of humor thanks to acclaimed screenwriter Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, The Last Boyscout and The Long Kiss Goodnight). Per usual players can choose not to complete certain missions; i.e. main character Niko benefits later from a friendship formed with the gay mobster. Remember you’re playing an apocalyptic adult game where no demographic remains unscathed. While GTAIV walks a precarious line I have to give Rockstar Games props for not defaulting to the usual homophobic sequence filled with stereotypes.

Intertubes Just Got A Little Paultardier

Did you know there is a 3-D movie in the works about L. Ron Paultard called The High Tide? Neither did I.

It looks like a video game, which should make WoW addicted Paultards squeal with glee.

So, combine The Matrix, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, The Day After Tomorrow, and a bunch of crazy talk about gold standards and Liberty Dollars and you get this:

Kissing A Dude: 20 Points

From Towleroad:

Rockstar's "Bully" videogame received a lot of attention in 2006 when it was discovered that its main character, presumably homophobic bully Jimmy Hopkins (a difficult student with a delinquent record) could be made to kiss other male students. This, of course, played off of theories that the most homophobic among males were reacting to suppressed homosexual tendencies.



This got Christian conservatives really riled up. At the time, Christian watchdog Jack Thompson, known for his crusades against violence and obscenity in media, to condemn the game's maker as well as Entertainment Software Review Board president Patricia Vance, to whom he wrote a letter that said: "Dear Ms. Vance, We just found gay sexual content in Bully, as Jimmy Hopkins makes out with another male student. Good luck with your 'Teen' rating now, Patty."

Imagine how cranked Thompson will get now when he discovers that in the newest, enhanced "Scholarship Edition" of Bully, one of the eight new goals of the main character is to "receive 20 kisses from the gents," earning him an "Over the Rainbow" achievement award..
