I like videogames. And I like sex. So when I see a trailer for a side-scrolling game called Privates that features microscopic Marines battling evil germs as they travel through a vagina and colon, I can’t help but be intrigued. The game is designed to be a subversive bit of edutainment on practicing safe sex, but I can’t stop laughing at the prim-and-proper British voicework featured in the trailer. I can already imagine some flabby Fox News commentator frothing at the mouth when he finds out about this and raving about how this is just another example of Obama destroying America.
This game probably won’t be sitting on many Wal-Mart store shelves, but that hardly matters in this age of digital distribution. The game itself could be horrible, in which case I’ll feel silly about devoting a blog entry to it. And if it’s good, I’ll buy it and wait for the opportunity to shock one of my more conservative nurses.
