I don't see nothin' wrong with a little bump and grind. It's even less wrong when that bumping and grinding is taking place between two lovely ladies. When two lovely ladies aren't available, two bitmapped or polygonal ladies will have to do.

Digital sapphic-inclined discriminators now have a list of the seven best girl-on-girl makeouts and liplocks, courtesy of GamesRadar, the only outlet willing to tackle the question "Are The Sims girls getting freaknasty hotter than the girls of Mortal Kombat?" The answer, by the way, is "Yes."

Sure, crudely constructed virtual girls mounting other girls isn't going to "do the job" for most of us, but in a pinch, it's all you have. Did I mention there's video?

<![CDATA[ Another Jackass Thompson Lawsuit Coming ]]>

Apparently, this time, against Sony and Take-Two for a Grand Theft Auto related wrongful death:

On Monday, September 25, Thompson will journey to another state and announce, with his co-counsel, the filing of what will likely prove to be hugely significant wrongful death action against Sony and Take-Two...

One thing Thompson will talk about at the news conference are the ways in which the industry has targeted him and his family for harm in retaliation for his appearance on 60 Minutes... One thing that is useful in what is going to occur Monday is that the prosecutor of the kid who killed in this instance actually called Thompson and asked him to bring this lawsuit...

Apparently, someone Googled up 'ambulance chaser kook'. Anyway, we'll keep you posted.

You know, I just actually checked out Jack's Wikipedia entry for the first time. Seriously, go read it: he's totally out of his gourd. Did you know that in the prelapsarian days when he targeted homosexuals instead of rap music and video games, he called Janet Reno a lesbian while simultaneously claiming she came on to him?

There's only one conclusion that can be drawn: Jack Thompson is secretly a woman. Or a giant walking clitoris. Either/or.

<![CDATA[ Gay Gamer Survey ]]>

In Newsweekly, companion website to In Newsweekly, New England's largest gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender news and entertainment weekly, has posted a story on a new survey meant specifically for GLBT gamers, or "gaymers" as the article so coyly quotates.

The whole piece stinks of two things I hate: splitting an already disadvantaged minority (gamers) into potentially conflicting factions; and assigning previously-constructed stereotypes to the new group.

First we need to prove that homosexual gamers even exist. Yeah it sounds ridiculous, but that's where you have to start on something like this. This survey is an attempt to quantify the existence of an invisible minority.

I think this minority is invisible because who a gamer likes to boink has no practical application here, except possibly as a marketing tool. It's the same issue I have with the constant barrage of "women in games" crowing: the longer we tell each other that a gamer girl is a rare and mysterious thing, the longer she will remain so.

I'm with Dan Savage on this issue. Let homosexuality be normal. True tolerance isn't making special recognitions of your fellow gamers' differences, but simply not caring in the first place.

As a possibly self-defeating aside, I once got warned by Blizzard for saying "hey it's okay to be gay" in Barrens Chat. Amid an ocean of "stfu fagget". So now I say it every chance I get.
