Mass Effect.

It's a big hit. People love it. It got very good reviews across the board.

It's a fairly well done RPG universe, with a number of unique species and wide ranges of planets to work with. Interface is good. Story telling is pretty well done with some realistic scripting and well conceived plot points. The scripting surrounding the romantic relationships is actually the worst in the entire game, but what do you expect from sci-fi video game writers? Seriously. Even considering that, it's probably the best RPG I've played in a while.

The game's rated M for mature for "Blood, Language, Partial Nudity, Sexual Themes, Violence". Now, guess which part is causing people to get their panties in a bunch? Yeah, we all know blood and violence is ok. Language isn't a problem either. It's all about the sex.

There are people who are really upset that in the course of role playing, you can build a relationship with NPCs and actually get a sex scene. OH NOES! SEX! RUN AWAY! Look, it's not that bad. You can have sex with one of the 2 female NPCs. You'll get a cut screen (same scene with different skin tone depending on which girl you're in bed with) that shows a semi-erotic scene with a little bit of one of the chicks ass. Honestly, while it probably wouldn't make it onto network TV without a few seconds cut out, it's actually pretty tame for movies. In fact, watch it yourself.

See, not that bad really. Like I said, not TV, but fine for movies. You knwo the difference between the two, right? One is regulated broadcast, and the other is pu5rchased by the consumer willingly.

Anyway, that was it. Ready for what the other side has to say?

It's called "Mass Effect" and it allows its players - universally male no doubt - to engage in the most realistic sex acts ever conceived. One can custom design the shape, form, bodies, race, hair style, breast size of the images they wish to "engage" and then watch in crystal clear, LCD, 54 inch screen, HD clarity as the video game "persons" hump in every form, format, multiple, gender-oriented possibility they can think of.

...

If a pre-teen, teen, young adult, or adult male plays such a game in which the women DO submit without choice, are made to appear as Barbie streetwalkers, and perform whatever act can be imagined, what's to stop that same male from assuming that the women in his "other world" shouldn't be forced to do the same.

....

As technology continues to push the limits of imagination and interaction more and more the brain, the emotions, the feelings will integrate with physical responses in reality. And while the makers of such trash seem to be pushing our next generation of young men through the gates of hell as fast as is humanly possible, it needn't be that way.

Here's hoping that as the next President will be forced to deal with this continual emerging reality - and enemy that has set its site to our destruction from within - that we will have elected a man of such character that he will have precision in the clarity of his response.

Painful, eh? It hurt my brain, that's for sure. This guy really see this game as a gateway to hell. You can't argue with people like that. They're incapable of reason or logic. So, I'm not going to bother cutting his arguments down, or mentioning again the fact that the game's rated M. Not much point in saying if his child is playing this game it's his failure as a parent. Instead, I'm just going to file him into the crazification factor
