			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently stopped playing Warcraft for many reasons. Lets start at the  beginning. I chose to become a dwarf paladin, I wanted to be a gnome but  I couldn&#8217;t be both a gnome and a paladin, and I <strong>really</strong> wanted to be a  paladin so I settled for the next smallest thing and gave him a massive  beard and called him Fuggle. And I was off, a new dwarf with my common  shirt and common boots, the works, and I was thrown into a wasteland of  ice. I started to speak to the few people who were around to try to  get some quests, and so I completed about 100 quests and at this point I  was level 20. Ok bit of an exaggeration, it was probably less quests  than that. So this must have been about 6 to 7 hours of my life levelling  up a character.<br />
Now to me, the great gamer I am, this time is nothing, I&#8217;ve spent at  least 40 hours playing Oblivion, but the thing is with Oblivion, sooner  or later, I am going to finish every quest, find every item, level  myself to the max and kill everything in sight, including the annoying  fan numerous times. However with World of Warcraft, there is no end,  there will always be quests, and with the new expansion that has  recently came out, there will be even more! Plus the level cap has now  been raised to give people more reason to play&#8230;and pay to play of  course.</p>
<p>So what I did in warcraft after I got bored with the endless repetitive  quests was to start making as much gold as possible. Of course, with  anything in warcraft this took many weeks to acquire what was a decent  amount of gold for my level and for any level up to about 40. So there I  went, after learning my mining and smelting skills which cost me gold  in themselves, and I set out across the baron ice lands and into brand  new worlds!<br />
Of course I wasn&#8217;t high enough level to be there and i promptly died.  And so I went! across the plains as a ghost of my former self because I  didn&#8217;t want the xp deduction. Nobody wants the xp deduction. Well after  another massive hike of what seemed to be an hour (by that point it was  so late I had lost track of all time) I found my body, after respawning,  I promptly died again. But I did manage to make a small bit of progress  back towards safe land,  so after finding my dead body several more  times I finally managed to get back into the noobish zones of the ice  lands. After deciding it was way too dangerous to leave the safety of the  level 1 zone I decided to start mining there. After many hours of  waiting for the copper to respawn and a fierce battle with another dwarf  about who would get the next set of copper ore (I took his turn and  legged it, it wasn&#8217;t a PVP server, he had nothing on me) I finally had  20 copper ore! Hurray! So after I initially set off 6 hours ago I  arrived back in the dwarf city a famed hero well I say that, I just told  a guy I had 20 copper ore to which he replied, and I quote &#8220;stfu noob&#8221;.  I could see his point, I did still have pretty rubbish stuff by this  point. But all that was about to  change as I legged it to the other side of the city to smelt my ore into  bars! I could sell these for 6 gold a piece! I had struck oil! I was  about to rise from the ashes and join the ranks of the 1337.<br />
But it didn&#8217;t quite go as planned.<br />
Sure I got it on auction, and sure they sold. But then what, I had my  gold, what could I do with it. I thought about buying a mount. After  spending hours and hours just to walk somewhere gets a bit tiring so  some extra speed would help! So I went to speak to the mount rider.<br />
&#8220;Sorry, you can&#8217;t buy a mount until you are level 30&#8243;<br />
&#8220;Oh&#8221; I said to myself.<br />
&#8220;Now what&#8221; I asked the man. Of course he didn&#8217;t respond he was only a NPC, so after telling him he was the rudest person I had met on  here (excluding the people who didn&#8217;t let me join they&#8217;re clan because  it was for humans only&#8230;racists) and I left. So now what, I couldn&#8217;t  buy a mount, I was too weak to kill anything and I had shit loads of  gold to spend of absolutely nothing. So of course, I seeked out guidance  from a higher level. I hung around the city looking for somebody  approachable, I learned a lot about life from doing this, people were  talking, trading, others had transformed into tigers and were getting  paid to sit on a mans face whilst he typed in oo&#8217;s and ahh&#8217;s. I stood  and watched for a while whilst deciding if me watching was more weird  than the act itself and wondering whether I had to pay them or not. I  thought it was best not to approach these people. After a good long  while of watching different people being sat on I decided to talk to  my  good friend and excellent warcraft player Phil. I convinced him to let  me tag along with him on a journey through &#8220;the dead mines&#8221; with him and  his brother and friend of mine Neal. After a good hour battling through  these vicious dead mines, well I myself wasn&#8217;t battling, I was hanging  at the back whilst Neal protected me and Phil killed everything in sight  with his character that looked a bit like Kirby if you dressed her in  black and gave her a sword. Well after we had finished and I had  graciously accepted a few items off of Phil and Neal I decided to say  thank you and go to bed. It was midnight by this point.<br />
When I came back online the next morning I checked all the items I had  managed to take during this raid. I had a lot, and a lot of stuff I  couldn&#8217;t even use until I was higher level. But then there was this  hammer, and how I loved this hammer. I equipped it straight away and got  rid of my old noob axe! Now I was truly about to join the ranks of the  1337, I could feel it! I ran around the city showing off my brand new  hammer to anybody who would look, of course I had to trick them into  looking by telling them I was going to give them a free legendary  weapon! But instead, I showed them my hammer, now this probably wasn&#8217;t  the best idea as after saying they were going to see a legendary weapon  my hammer probably looked like something I got out of a skip (if there  are skips in warcraft, I&#8217;d like to think there are, what else would they  do with all their rubbish?) but all the same it was my hammer, and I  owned it! I decided to test my hammer out in the lands outside the level  1 zone. I decided with my new hammer I would be a new Leroy Jenkins and  I jumped into battle with a level 30 spider!<br />
To which I promptly died.<br />
After many a more hours of slowly crawling back to safety (nobody wants  the xp deduction) I found myself looking at the hammer in a different  view. While I was completely gracious that I had received it, it wasn&#8217;t  the cool level 70 killing hammer I first thought it was. I decided I  would try to fob it off to a higher level in a hope they would trade me  something better for it. They didn&#8217;t. Instead I was constantly being  challenged to &#8220;duel&#8221; them to which I declined as I knew that if my  hammer didn&#8217;t beat a level 30 spider what could it do against a level 70  human warrior? After trying to explain to these people that I wasn&#8217;t a  noob, or a fag, or any of the other abuse thrown at me, I quickly ran  away with my hammer still equipped.<br />
What could I do now? I couldn&#8217;t get a mount, it would take me many more  hours to level up to that point. Many an hours of &#8220;farming&#8221; wolves and  other animals that couldn&#8217;t put up much of a fight so I could buy  something to ride around on. But then what, after I buy my mount, then  what? Well I could level up some more and buy a faster mount and  eventually a flying one! But this would take me a year, and that a years  worth of my real money feeding this addiction.<br />
So the question I was meaning to put in right at the top of this warcraft epic story is this:<br />
What is the point of world of warcraft?<br />
It has no end, no real beginning and no real story. What do I do apart  from roam around hoping nobody secretly sits on my face and charges for  it. What do I do?<br />
I decided the only real point to warcraft to make you character bigger  and better than anybody else, so when you do finally hit that level 80  status you can look down on people (well up in my case, I was a dwarf)  and say<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m a level 80 dwarf paladin with a weapon that could kill you just by  looking at it, what are you, you&#8217;re nothing but a lowly level 4 human  warrior, the most typical class ever. I am better than you. I have risen  from the ashes, I may have spent a year doing so, but I am now finally  in the ranks of the 1337. I am in all means a god.&#8221;<br />
At least that&#8217;s what I think I would say, but in all truth I would probably just say<br />
&#8220;Fuck you, noob fag!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever get sent one of those stupid &#8220;I&#8217;d do this.&#8221; emails where it lists the supposedly &#8220;perfect&#8221; guy. Well I do, and they&#8217;re stupid.</p>
<p><strong> Edited for the lulz.</strong><br />
Don&#8217;t care if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend right now.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t care if you are a guy or a woman or Michael Jackson. (Lol)</p>
<p>Just read this, it will make a difference.</p>
<p>If only everyone could see this and understand it.</p>
<p>When she stares at your mouth<br />
Kiss her<br />
<strong>(Make sure you haven’t got any food on your lips.)</strong></p>
<p>When she pushes you or hits you like a dummie cause she thinks shes<br />
stronger than you<br />
Grab her and dont let go<br />
<strong>(Hit her back so she knows who is stronger.)</strong></p>
<p>When she starts cursing at you trying to act all tough<br />
Kiss her and tell her you love her<br />
<strong>(Get the bat.)</strong></p>
<p>When she&#8217;s quiet<br />
Ask her whats wrong<br />
<strong>(Enjoy it)</strong></p>
<p>When she ignores you<br />
Give her your attention<br />
<strong>(Repeat the order until she makes you the sandwich you want.)</strong></p>
<p>When she pulls away<br />
Pull her back<br />
<strong>(This is known as rape and is in fact illeagal.)</strong></p>
<p>When you see her at her worst<br />
Tell her she&#8217;s beautiful<br />
<strong>(Tell her and maybe she’ll put some effort in next time.)</strong></p>
<p>When you see her start crying<br />
Just hold her and don&#8217;t say a word<br />
<strong>(Leave and don’t say a word. Maybe she won’t notice you’re gone.)</strong></p>
<p>When you see her walking<br />
Sneak up and hug her waist from behind<br />
<strong>(Be prepared to get maced.)</strong></p>
<p>When she&#8217;s scared<br />
Protect her<br />
<strong>(Then you weren’t silent enough and she knows you’re in the house. Get out before she phones the police.)</strong></p>
<p>When she steals your favorite hoodie<br />
Let her keep it and sleep with it for a night<br />
<strong>(Phone the police and report it stolen.)</strong></p>
<p>When she teases you<br />
Tease her back and make her laugh.<br />
<strong>(Hit her.)</strong></p>
<p>When she doesn&#8217;t answer for a long time<br />
reassure her that everything is okay<br />
<strong>(Then she has learnt her lesson and it’s time to take her head out of the bath before she drowns.)</strong></p>
<p>When she looks at you with doubt<br />
Back yourself up<br />
<strong>(Give her a black eye to make sure she doesn’t doubt you again)</strong></p>
<p>When she says that she loves you<br />
she really does more than you can understand<br />
<strong>(Then she probably wants something.)</strong></p>
<p>When she grabs at your hands<br />
Hold her&#8217;s and play with her fingers<br />
<strong>(Hit her. She may have been a mugger, better safe than sorry.)</strong></p>
<p>When she bumps into you;<br />
bump into her back and make her laugh<br />
<strong>(Tell the bitch to walk straight.)</strong></p>
<p>When she tells you a secret<br />
keep it safe and untold<br />
<strong>(Tell your friends so you can laugh at her together.)</strong></p>
<p>When she looks at you in your eyes<br />
dont look away until she does<br />
<strong>(“And that’s why I crashed the car.”)</strong></p>
<p>When she says it&#8217;s over<br />
she still wants you to be hers<br />
<strong>(Sleep with her best friend.)</strong><br />
<strong>(Seriously though, this is the most retarded one on this whole list.)</strong></p>
<p>When she reposts this bulletin<br />
she wants you to read it<br />
<strong>(Then she hasn’t got a boyfriend and still watches Disney films.)</strong></p>
<p>- Stay on the phone with her even if she&#8217;s not saying anything<br />
<strong>(Only if she phoned you, don’t waste your money on stupid meaningless silence.)</strong></p>
<p>- When she&#8217;s mad hug her tight and don&#8217;t let go<br />
<strong>(Then you probably did something wrong and you should leave.)</strong></p>
<p>- When she says she&#8217;s ok don&#8217;t believe it, talk with her because ten years later she&#8217;ll remember you<br />
<strong>(Then she’s probably lying…but you don’t care so just leave.)</strong></p>
<p>- Call her at 12:00am on her birthday to tell her you love her<br />
<strong>(E-mail her in the morning, or even the day after. Tell her the email came through late.)</strong></p>
<p>- Stay up all night with her when she&#8217;s sick<br />
<strong>(I’m no doctor but I don’t think refusing a sick person sleep by staying up all night with her is a good way to cure her.)</strong></p>
<p>- Watch her favorite movie with her or her favorite show even if you think it&#8217;s stupid<br />
<strong>(I will never, ever, watch <em>The Hills</em>, because that goes beyond stupid and into retarded.)</strong></p>
<p>- Let her wear your clothes<br />
<strong>(Don’t want the fatty stretching them.)</strong></p>
<p>-When she&#8217;s bored and sad, hang out with her<br />
<strong>(Tell her you’re busy and then go play Grand Theft Auto.)</strong></p>
<p>- Don&#8217;t talk about other girls around her<br />
<strong>(Because you’ve got one extremely jealous girl who won’t even let you speak about your own mother.)</strong></p>
<p>- Kiss her in the pouring rain<br />
<strong>(Only if you have an umbrella, and never in public. That’s gay.)</strong></p>
<p>- When she runs up to you crying, the first thing you say is:<br />
&#8220;Whose ass am i kicking baby?&#8221;<br />
<strong>(“Mind the shirt, I just washed this.”)</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 262px"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1195/1214979949_522d6cd9be.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="189" /><p class="wp-caption-text">It&#39;s a cat.</p></div>
<p>The interweb’s a big place and it can be easy to get behind on what the “hip” word or phrase is. Which is why I have created this guide, for you, because that’s the kind of guy I am. No longer will you belittled by a 12 year old Asian kid who can insult you without you even realising it because he is hiding behind his tech speech. No, with this guide to can stand and say “FU, u n00b fag.”</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Noob</span><br />
A “noob” or “n00b” is an inexperienced player or internet user. A noob is hated among any community. A noob knows very little about the game and refuses to learn, they expect other players to do everything for them.</p>
<p>Do not try to argue with a noob as they anger easily and are very territorial. They believe they are the best at what in fact they are the worst at.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 250px"><img class=" " src="http://www.hilaliya.com/noob_tn.jpg" alt="Sound the alarm!" width="240" height="360" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sound the alarm!</p></div>
<p>Noob try to stay in packs but this can result in them fighting among one another (see “Fail.”)<br />
It is generally advised that noobs be taken out of the gene pool.</p>
<p>Variations appear in different games. For example in Garrys Mod a noob is known as a “mingebag” as the default name for a new player is “mingebag”.</p>
<p>The term “noob” is becoming increasingly used in certain teenage cultures as a form of insult. (See “YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG”.)</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Newb</span><br />
Different from a noob in that a newb, whilst being new to the game/forum, is willing to learn and will communicate in a well spoken manner.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">First</span><br />
A word that is used when you are the first to post on an article or video. A sought after position. People will treat you with the upmost respect if you achieve the prized first position.<br />
Hint: when checking to see if anyone has already said “first,” the best place to look is the first comment.<br />
E.g. “There are no comments yet.”<br />
Posts: First.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Troll</span><br />
A troll is one who deliberately posts controversial or provocative message on a topic or in a comments section.<br />
E.g. On a youtube Michael Jackson tribute video.<br />
“Michael Jackson is a fag.”<br />
Somebody who responds to the trolls with anger or annoyance is said to have been “trolled”. And can often lead to further annoyance when people point this out. (See butthurt)<br />
While it may seem appropriate to flame a troll (see below) it is important that you ignore him, as an angry comment is exactly what the troll wants because he is in it for the lulz (See: “Lol”)<br />
Hint: Do not feed the trolls.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Flame</span><br />
“Flame” is a term used to describe an insult said over the internet (or anything electronic). A person who repeatedly argues like this can be known as a “flamer.” And a large scale argument on a forum will be known as a “flame war.”</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Lol (Lul, lols, megalols, etc)</span><br />
Laugh out loud. That comment was so funny that I am in fact laughing out loud. Feel free to use this even though it probably isn’t true. You probably just smirked a bit.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Rofl</span></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 206px"><img src="http://frankscoolstuff.com/web_images/52727_roflcopter.jpg" alt="Roflcopter" width="196" height="143" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Roflcopter</p></div>
<p>Rolling on floor laughing. That comment was so witty and brilliant that I have proceeded to roll around on the floor laughing. Feel free to use this even though it is very unlikely to be true.<br />
<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Lmao</span><br />
Laughing my ass off. That comment was so funny that my rectum has proceeded to explode.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Brb</span><br />
Be right back. I am leaving my computer and feel inclined to inform you that I will be right back. Can be used for a maximum of 30 minutes.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Afk</span><br />
Away from keyboard. I am not at my computer, I am away from my keyboard and so I will not be typing. Can be left in your username to indicate you are not there. Should be used if you will be away from longer than 30 minutes.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Teh</span><br />
A corruption of the word “the”.<br />
E.g. Teh internets is cool. Or. Teh dog pissed on me.<br />
It is now mostly used in an ironic way but it has been used so much that is became unfunny about last Thursday.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Pron</span><br />
A corruption of the word “porn”. Often used to avoid automatic word filters but is so widely known that it stopped working at least 100 years ago.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">NSFW</span><br />
Not safe for work. The following link will lead to material that is not safe for the workplace as it will contain nudity. Probably goatse (See “pron”).<br />
E.g. This link is NSFW.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">OMG</span><br />
Oh my god. That sentence/video is so shocking that I generally can’t believe it. OMGWTFBBQ.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">ZOMG</span><br />
A variation of “omg”. Used mainly by geeks but is finding its way into normal social circles. Incurs sarcasm as to the level of disbelief.<br />
E.g. ZOMG does this film rule? By which I mean no.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">TLDR (tl;dr)</span><br />
Too long, didn’t read. That comment was so long that I in fact didn’t read it.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Win</span><br />
Win generally indicates that something is great.<br />
E.g. This picture=win.<br />
A winner is you.<br />
This can be further emphasised by adding epic in front.<br />
E.g. This thread=epic win.<br />
You can also capitalise these words for a much greater affect. Although this is generally ill advised as it is associated with noob behaviour.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Fail</span></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 275px"><img class=" " src="http://failblog.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/fail-owned-child-porn-fail.jpg?w=265&#038;h=456&#038;h=244" alt="Cat Win" width="265" height="244" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Cat Win</p></div>
<p>When something is so bad that it “fails”. Often used when some attempt at humour happens and “fails”. Has found its way into main stream social circles&#8230;unfortunately.<br />
Can also be emphasised by the word epic.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">FTW</span><br />
For the win.<br />
E.g. I like ducks. Yeah ducks for the win.<br />
Can also mean full of win in some cases<br />
E.g. This thread is so good that it is full of win. (see win)</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">FTL</span><br />
For the loss. The opposite of for the win.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">FU</span><br />
Fuck you.<br />
Often used in response to being “rickroll’d”<br />
Overdraw the “U” to add extra anger.<br />
<span> E.g. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU</span>UUUUU.</p>
<div>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Fag/Your a fag</span><br />
Whilst not strictly internet slang, it is important none the less. The reason for this is because it is the most widely used insult on the whole of the “internetz”. Most often in a “flame war” (see flame). Because when you can’t form a solid and witty argument (see fail) then you must question the person’s sexuality.<br />
“Your a fag” even works on female, which doesn’t even make sense. That’s how powerful this insult is.<br />
Note the missing apostrophe, that’s intentional, this insult doesn’t need correct grammar.<br />
The only possible come back to this insult is to say:<br />
“No, your a fag!”</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Imo</span><br />
In my opinion. This is my opinion, and nobody else’s. I would like to express my opinion. Often used by people who have something to say that nobody cares about.<br />
E.g. Imo your a fag.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Own</span><br />
To be owned is an act of humiliation. It derives from videogames where you completely obliterated an opponent, you are said to have “ownd them”.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Pwn</span><br />
A variation of the word own. Originated back in the days of warcraft when a map designer accidently misspelt owned as pwned. Which is fair enough because the two letters are next to each other, give the guy a break.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">1337</span><br />
Back in the days of dial up 1337 or “leet”, which comes from the word “elite”, used to mean to be an incredible gamer. But now it is more commonly used to describe the language used by a small community of people. Here is an example of 1337 speak:<br />
<strong>20|\/|9, 7|-|1$ \/1Ð30 $µ(|{0®$.</strong></p>
<p>Not to be confused with “chav speak” or “text talk”. (See below).</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Text talk</span><br />
This is the language used by most characters with little intelligence.<br />
E.g. i (L)d it but evry1 startd sayin tht i cut maself n evrythng wen it woz ma falt!! so i aint nomor! but it woz wkd!!<br />
Yes, I don’t know what that said either. I just copied and pasted it off somebody’s facebook who I shall keep anonymous. This kind of speak is used so only those of similar intelligence can read it.<br />
This language can be easily mimicked by repeatedly smashing your face into the keyboard.</p>
<p>So now you’ve read the guide you should be ready to venture out into the scary world of the internet. Go forth child! With the growing rate of these words implementation into society then you shall be able to survive off the knowledge into this guide. But this is just a basic introduction into the world of the internet. There is much more you shall learn whilst out there. Be careful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">7. Rampage World Tour</span></p>
<p>You may remember playing Rampage World Tour as a child. You probably look back at it with fond memories of your childhood and the games you were brought up on. What you probably don&#8217;t remember seeing however is this:</p>
<div id="attachment_7" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 204px"><img class="size-full wp-image-7" title="Rampage" src="http://ellayling.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/rampage16mu11.gif?w=194&#038;h=194" alt="Pixelated Man Junk" width="194" height="194" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Pixelated Man Junk</p></div>
<p>It&#8217;s just a split second, but for that split second you can see everything.<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">6. Knights of the round</span></p>
<p>Knights of the round was an arcade game by Capcom relesed in 1991. It was later ported to the snes so there was a small chance that you may have played it. If you have played it then you will know what is coming up because this kind of thing would have been scared into your mind as a child.</p>
<div id="attachment_6" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 426px"><img class="size-full wp-image-6" title="Knights of The Round Tiger Balls" src="http://ellayling.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/knights2-article_image.jpg?w=416&#038;h=242" alt="Was has been seen cannot be unseen." width="416" height="242" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Was has been seen cannot be unseen.</p></div>
<p>Thats right, after you smash an endangered species in the face with an axe you get to look straight at a pair of furry testicles.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">5. Mass Effect</span></p>
<p>At the time of Mass Effect&#8217;s released it was heavily featured on US network FOX for being a &#8220;sex simulator&#8221;. The player will see &#8220;full digital nudity&#8221; and the ability to &#8220;engage in graphic sex where you will get to decide what happens between the two people&#8221;. This caused a media shit storm among all of the US networks and the game was shunned by parents. I feel sorry for the people who brought this game after seeing the FOX report so they could play the sex scene. Because as with everything to do with videogames in mainstream media, they were completely wrong.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14" title="mass-effect-643" src="http://ellayling.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/mass-effect-643.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="mass-effect-643" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>There is a sex scene, correct but there is not however <strong>any</strong> nudity (only a stray side boob here and there) and the player does in <strong>no</strong> way choose &#8220;what happens between the two people&#8221;. The reporter on the story states that she based all her research on the game by looking at the website. Perhaps people should try <em>playing</em> the game before making stuff up about it. Here&#8217;s an extract from a debate with supposed experts:</p>
<p>Reporter: What do you think about this Greg?</p>
<p>Greg: Well just last week I brought Princess Enchanted Brides (a quick google shows that this game does not excist) for my 6 year old daughter and i&#8217;m not very good at these games. (Greg the gaming expert here) I&#8217;m definitly not going to let Mass Effect in my house.</p>
<p>Well jee Greg, that&#8217;s good because the game is rated mature and you&#8217;ve got a 6 year old daughter. He also describes the fake game as Luke Skywalker meets Debbie Does Dallas, which actually does sound pretty good.</p>
<p>Another &#8220;expert&#8221;: What do you think the kid is gonna do when he&#8217;s home alone? He&#8217;s going to go play his dad&#8217;s videogames and I think that&#8217;s dangerous.</p>
<p>If the kid is wanting to look at nudity when he&#8217;s home alone he&#8217;s going to go straight for page 3, he&#8217;s not going to spend 30+ hours to get a quick look at the side of an alien tit.</p>
<p>These kind of things annoy me as a gamer. But anyway, here&#8217;s the video you all want to see. Oh yeah, did I mention it&#8217;s a lesbien sex scene?</p>
<span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://ellayling.wordpress.com/2009/08/23/top-7-explicit-moments-in-gaming/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/NragL5-7Mvo/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">4. Fahrenheit</span></p>
<p>The media is ironic. Whilst Mass Effects gets <strong>massive</strong> media coverage for something it doesn&#8217;t have. This game has <strong>all</strong> of the things that Mass Effect was reported as having and doesn&#8217;t get a single news report.</p>
<p>For those in the dark Fahrenheit is a cinematic game praised for it&#8217;s deep story told from the point of view of multiple characters and the characters themseleves . However about half way through the game your character dies after trying to rescue his ex girlfriend from an abandoned funfair ride in which the villian placed her on. The ride ultimately collapses and you fall to your death along with your ex girlfriend. Due to the supernatural part of the story however your character comes back as a reanimated corspe. And this is the part of the story where the sex scene comes into play.</p>
<div id="attachment_10" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 428px"><img class="size-full wp-image-10" title="fahrenheit" src="http://ellayling.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/fahrenheit1.jpg?w=418&#038;h=251" alt="Zombie Porn" width="418" height="251" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Zombie Porn</p></div>
<p>This scene holds nothing back. You even get a little mood boost from it.</p>
<p>I should also mention that earlier in the game there is a normal sex scene before your character is a zombie and which you get to control the movement. Not a single news report.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">3. GTA San Andreas</span></p>
<p>The infamous hot coffee mod. This is another example of the media getting it all wrong. The hot coffee mod which can only be accessed after downloading a patch for the PC version or by having a modded console takes place after your character finishes a date with a woman and is dropping her off home. If the date went well enough she will invite him inside for &#8220;coffee&#8221;. Cue a sexual minigame where the player has clothed sex with the girl. The picture explains it all.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><img title="Hot Coffee" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f6/Hot_coffee.png" alt="Polygon Fun" width="500" height="400" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Polygon Fun</p></div>
<p>The contravsry with this comes because the developers (RockStar North) actually built this into the game but before the game went gold they locked it out so people couldn&#8217;t access it. They didn&#8217;t delete it however and it is still built into the games code. So after some crafty modders found this little gem in the PC version they released a patch which lets you experience it in all its glory.  Horrah!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">2. Custer&#8217;s Revenge</span></p>
<p>Custer&#8217;s Revenge (released in 1984 for the Atari 2600) is a very early example of a pornographic videogame. In the game you play as a character called General George Custer who wears nothing but a hat, boots and a bandana. The game takes you through a series of levels where you basically &#8220;rape&#8221; native american&#8217;s. I&#8217;m sold. It has been heavily criticised and some people even consider it as the worst game ever made (clearly having never played 50 Cent Bulletproof.)</p>
<p>Check out the screen.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 330px"><img title="Custers Revenge" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ae/S_CustersRevenge_1.png" alt="Who knows what hes getting revenge for." width="320" height="210" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Yes. That is a boner.</p></div>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">1. Ring King</span></p>
<p>No words are needed for this game. Just look at the picture.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 307px"><img src="http://www.ugo.com/lifestyle/best-video-game-sex-scenes/images/entries/ring-king.jpg" alt="Getting ready for the next round!" width="297" height="265" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Getting ready for the next round!</p></div>
