Sex and video games: Virtual reality erotica may be the Holy Grail

Yannick LeJacq: "Video games stand apart from the rest of modern technology because of the medium's immunity to pornography. Perhaps it's because gamers — historically male teenagers and twentysomethings — just aren't into porn, right?"

not a bad article, although it doesn't say anything we don't already know. when the tech catches up to a point where you can actually "interact" within games on a sensory receptor level, then I think you will see the market open up for pornographic games. as it stands video games can't really add much more than what a standard blu-ray has to offer

Ill just go play with my girl instead !

dcj05243922d ago

You need to add a s to girl. Lol

shivvy243922d ago

Godlovesgamers3923d ago

Yeah why not? Let's just let every form of entertainment be defiled by pornography. /s

Godlovesgamers3922d ago

More likely that you checked recent comments from public profile.

I don't think tractor racing has been touched by porn yet!

iceman063922d ago

But, I'd bet money that there's some lonely dude in the middle of 'Merica whishing that a porn ABOUT tractor racing was invented. (please let this only be a wish!!! LOL)

metaltales493922d ago

you would be surprise there are a lot of people in the world and with the internet there is porn for just about everything how you think furry came about LOL

elhebbo163922d ago

I read your username, than it made sense.

Porn has been in games for years now, and seeing as how widespread gaming is these days it's only a natural development that these kinds of games will come about one eventually, no matter how much you, I or anyone else might dislike that it won't change a thing.

The only thing you really need care about is that you're still going to able to play games and enjoy them, because those "pleasure games" aren't going to somehow effect all of gaming.

Hicken3921d ago (Edited 3921d ago )

No, not really. I saw the title, remembered your ridiculous comments in regards to Bioshock, and figured you'd say something similar to what you ended up posting.

Originally, I was gonna comment on the whole "holy grail" aspect, as it tends to refer to an unobtainable, even mythical content; I was gonna ask whether they thought virtual reality erotica was something that would never be done, or whether they meant it was something that was exceedingly difficult to do well.

But first, I decided to look through the comments, and lo and behold: here you are with another silly comment.

Edit: Why, if it's something you have no interest in, would you even feel the need to comment? You told me- based on some misconception I can't be bothered to correct because it's how you've CHOSEN to understand, rather than something unclear- that you live your life by God's standards or some such, and that no man could tell you how to live your life... or something like that.

Yet here you are, telling others- indirectly, at least- that something they may enjoy is defiling something, based on your own beliefs.

And what's your reasoning behind that? Porn poisons the mind or something? I can see you believing that.

Once people start connecting electrical devices to their junk, just to feel in these games, you can count me out. I don't want any RROD or YLOD anywhere near my dangly parts.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
