It's awkwardly hot sex too. One of those where you want to pretend it's not arousing but deep in your pants your penis knows you're lying.

At the risk of provoking Yenrot's wrath by expressing my opinions on video games, I too have never liked JRPG's, and really don't understand the hate that Bethesda games get. Skyrim and Oblivion are both excellent games. They may not have the depth of Morrowind, and they may be riddled with bugs, but they are excellent. As for stuff on the horizon, Planetside 2 interests me a lot, but that's about it. I really can't be fucked to build my own PC (I don't care how "easy" or "intuitive" it is, I'm going to fuck it up, and if I mess up even one important component, the cost-saving compared to a pre-built is lost) so I'm going to look for an affordable pre-built from somewhere like Overclockers when my existing PC bites the dust. I really don't play enough games to justify spending a fortune, though.

I don't know if I need / am ready for sex in games. I can't get over the fact that these are just computer models, not people. They have no jiggly bits. It's just weird, these two models pretending to touch each other but really there's no collision detection so there's this disconnect. Conversely this is also why I don't like those terrible porno comics in 3d. Gimme hand drawn filth any day.
The camera cuts in The Witcher handle 'collisions' pretty well.
I want sex in games. Sex & nudity. The medium feels immature without it.

I'm adding Witcher 2 to my very short list of games to check out one day!

It feels a bit immature with it though, doesn't it? Like in Bioware games, a sex scene is just a checklist - hit the right buttons, unlock the blank eyed grinding (ok, this is similar to real life a little bit...). I don't think you need full on sex in games, a kiss, wink and a fade out is plenty enough to get the point across. Unless the game is ABOUT sex, but I don't think we'll get a good one of those any time soon.
If it weren't for the fact that the story falls apart at this point in the game, I think LA Noire could have been a really interesting take on affairs and such, but they garbled it something rotten. When my character went to the house to see the singer I was like "wtf is going on here??" - if the had given some damn context or backstory it could have been fascinating, roleplaying as a broken war vet who can't even confide in his wife. Instead we get "naughty! he did naughties!!"
And on a technical level we need realistic soft body physics and liquid simulations to get the tech right. We already have Euphoria physics, we're halfway there!

...
(Also, this is possibly the nerdiest conversation ever: how video games could better depict sex
)Yeah, it's definitely clumsy and ham-fisted but at least they tried!
I haven't played that far into L.A Noire yet but I'm definitely going to get back into it. I hope there is mild titillation and some seamed stockings.
'realistic soft body physics and liquid simulations' is what I want in a sex robot.
Ask yourself: WWJDD? (What would Jayda Diamonde Do?). She'd find a way to breathe new life into digitised rectums.
I totally agree about sex in games, but its such a small part of the game... well I guess they talk about fucking a lot, but that's just Poland, really
That's a good thing, you're obviously looking good in decent lighting

I got that a few days ago. Some middle-aged woman winked at me in a shopping queue. D:
I need to step my womans magazine reading up.
Didn't think of it that way, i'll take it!
Haha nothing wrong with a bit of mature action. Fortunately my experience was with a couple of 20-somethings.
I have one at home. I use it to chill while watching Breaking Bad.
Watermelon, apple and strawberry baccy are nicest imo.
As has been said, if you look good in that lighting you are doing something right.
I tend to get the "eye" when walking back from the gym at 8am...

I'm brown, it's basically compulsory to have one in my house. We break it out for bbq's and warm evenings. My granddad uses it for, err, medicinal purposes...

Apparently smoking a shisha is the equivelent of smoking about 100 cigarettes.
I heard good things about the flavoured stuff actually but I've only tried normal boring tobacco.
zomgbbqftw, is it your grandfather's prefered method for taking his...uuh...medication?
Argh man, no way. Grim.

Yes. On Sunday evenings for as long as I have been alive. He drinks whiskey and gets high as shit. I have never smoked it that way, but a lot of people swear by it.
That's what I've heard too. It does put me off, rather.

Put some greenery in there and you have yourself a good time. Otherwise I don't see the point in all that effort to smoke something as pointless as tobacco. If I'm putting the work in there better be something awesome in it for me in ten minutes time.

Then... why are you like this? Maybe it's the anthropomorphic animal thing, but you strike me as the kind of person that would enjoy an rpg.
It's funny, the above could be read as both a compliment and an insult.
You know Bioware made a Sonic rpg right? That's quite JRPGish.
Best not mention that game...
...damnit, now I'm being judgmental without having played the game
There's nothing wrong with jRPGs just like there's nothing inherently wrong with ANY genre.
I can't wait to get home and play through Darksiders II.
any UK gaffers gonna be going through Borderlands 2 on PC next month? Could do with some more people to buddy up with without resorting to the yanks!

3. Their burgers are as dry as sawdust and taste awful.
They do some kind of chicken tortilla wrap, if that's what you mean.
Is it as good as McD's Sweet Chilli Chicken wrap?
yea, World Health Organization said it back in March. Still, gotta try some funky tabacco flavours someday.
For the record, Burger King > KFC > Takeaway/kebabshop burger > burger van burger > crappy cornershop burger>>>>>>>>>>>>>> McDonalds.
Nothing beats a good home-made burger though.

Don't know, KFC, but they don't really do beef burgers.
I haven't tried either, but I imagine it's just as good?
Absolutely correct. They are peerless. XL Bacon Double Cheeseburger with a portion of onion rings for me please.CHEEZMO;41250868 said:
I played FF7 and quit due to critical boredom about ten hours in. Played FF10 and quit when I hit some big rolling boss tank thing that wiped out my entire party in one hit. I just couldn't be arsed to play it.
I have no love for the JRPG genre whatsoever.
The burger van at Charing Cross/Sauchiehall street makes the best burgers.
I'll take that into consideration. I got recommended FF7, 8, 9 and even 13 but not 6. Is it still turn-based?
Oh word? must try that. You ever tried the Half Pounder Salt Beef Bagel at Bagel Mania on Sauchiehall street? amaaaaazing!
Yeah 6 is turn based and it's the pinnacle of Final Fantasy.
So good.
6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and Tactics are all worth your time - but have a look at a wiki or somethnig to see if you like the playstyle/world before you commit - I hate playing the beginnings of dozens of games only to find the world isn't interesting to me.
The best burger I ever had was in Portsmouth at a wedding where they served BBQ. Locally slaughtered and prepared etc. This burger was better than the best steak I've ever had and I've had some pretty damn good steak.
...I wish I knew the farm it came from because I'd probably mo(ooo)ve there.
