Two Great Vids

[erastes]

This is from Current TV with Brian Safi's "Thats' So Gay" segment. This time he discusses the evolution of gay characters in video games, how far we've come and how far we have to come.

I had to giggle at the ability to choose "unprotected gay sex" in Fable - as would they even HAVE condoms in the medieval world of Fable? Can you buy condoms from the shops? What DO they use for lube? Troll fat? Don’t answer that.

And this is the utterly, utterly brilliant Zero Punctuation (Ben (“Yahtzee”) Croshaw) from http://www.escapistmagazine.com  – ZP is an English games reviewer with a machine fire delivery but with an evil sense of humor. Here he dissects Assassin’s Creed – but it’s well worth finding your favourite (or least favourite) game on the site and seeing what he says about it.  I found Assassin’s Creed 2 hilarious and more recently Red Dead Redemption (which I still want to get despite the wall embedded horses…) Warning. If you are particularly PC (or French) you might find these videos a little offensive. But then – if you do, perhaps you are reading the WRONG Livejournal.

Those vids were fun!

The second one killed me with the speed of talking. LOL - it took me almost two minutes to understand more than single words.

I heart ZP, that's where I get most of my icons, actually. :) Even though I think he only likes... 4 games? he's still hilarious, because he'll point out the flaws that sooooooo many fanboys and smitten reviewers refuse to acknowledge. :)
