Next time you're on a multiplayer server, you might want to ask everyone who's a Canadian, and then ask who among them are dudes. Because according to a Microsoft survey, every fifth one of them (in the long run) has gamed in the nude, and might be doing so now.

Microsoft commissioned a pretty serious poll up in the Great White North, asking Canadians all sorts of questions that sound like a Cosmo bedside astrologer survey, if "game" is used as a euphemism for "sex." Do you game at work? (30 percent). Do you game in the bedroom? (27 percent). The bathroom? (7 percent — WTF?!) In public? (19 percent). And yes, they asked who does it completely bare. The answer 17 percent of Canadian men, 9 percent of Canadian women.

A Shameless Argument For Video Game Nudity

The folks over at Loot Ninja have posted an open, earnest request for developers to pay attention to certain...details in design. Namely jubblies. Naked ones.

Since majority of the video game players of the world are over 18, putting in some sex or just random nudity shouldn't be a problem. Don't we have a fully robust ESRB system where games are clearly marked as Mature or Adult only? I can see people just coming out of the woodworks to complain that there is nudity...but again isn't that why games are rated? What other purpose do the small letters in the corner of games boxes serve?

Mass Effect Features Sex Scene, Breasts

While we knew that Mass Effect was going to contain partial nudity, we were sadly lacking on details, but no longer. The British Board of Film Classification has revealed it's rating for Mass Effect, revealing in the process some revealing details about...well, revealing. According to the classification the game has been given a 12 rating due to "moderate violence and one sex scene". Ah, the sound of happy GameStop employees raking in preorders. While the scene is undetailed, one version does contain breast nudity. Wait, there are different versions?

"If playing as a male character the scene can take place between him and a human woman or a humanoid female alien. If playing as a female character the scene can take place between her and a male human or a female humanoid alien."

Mass Effect to feature breast nudity [Pro-G - thanks p00pzilla!]

Upcoming Bioware game Mass Effect won't only feature real-time dialogue selection, but also "Partial Nudity," "Sexual Themes" and "Blood." Sound mature! It is. The game has been given a "M" rating by the ESRB. Let's assume that means the eagerly awaited title is one step closer to hitting the Xbox 360. But "Partial Nudity"? If I were a betting man (which I'm not), I'd probably say "Partial Nudity" means some dude's ass. That, or some alien's. Keyword: BUTTOCKS.
