Geez, whoever converted HIM didn't do such a good job. They should give their Toaster-oven back.

No kidding, JW. I know he's a fan of Reagan, hell, he took me to the library. But, this was just way too shocking. I'm still aghast.

I'll need to go through the list and compile things that I'd like to continue buying, vs do I really want it that bad?

Gay Sex Scene Revealed in Dragons Age: Origins

Geeks.co.uk (not quite work safe)

Says GayGamer.net on this revelation
Quote:

With all the negative hoopla surrounding Infinity Ward's grenade spam video I was beginning to lose all faith in gays being shown in a positive light in the world of gaming. I got a treat when I spied this clip of Dragon Age: Origin's gay romance. Read: Spoilers! Here we have what has to be one of the most well-realized representations of gay sex in a video game to date. The scene walks us through a dialogue tree that leads to a graphically romantic tryst with the male protagonist and Zevran the assassin.

After hearing about BioWare's inclusion of a gay relationship, I'm sure many were prepared to be bored by some half baked, heterosexist pandering a-la Mass Effect's alien/lesbian rendezvous. Here it feels deliberate and respectful. In fact, while there are differences between the straight love interests and the gay male option, the romantic scenes of both orientations are given equal diligence.

With this bare-chested and unflinching portrayal, it feels as if the depiction of gay sex in video games has reached a new level of equal treatment. This is more than just a mincing gay pirate (Temple of Elemental Evil) or an evasive fade-to-black: there's choreography, tenderness, humor and even an element of sexual politics to Zevran's post-coital conversation. Kudos to BioWare for adding a bit of a gay storyline to their game and for dealing with gay romance as even-handedly as they do the heterosexual options.

I debated whether to put this in this thread, or the YouTube thread. This thread won.

The lead is good, but you can't beat that eye-cut at :07 from the guy in the black shirt on the right.
