I am pretty much OK with sex and violence.
They're kind of a requirement for me. (Let me sum up) I can be walking out of a room and hear the adult content warning for a movie, and if it has violence, sexual content and coarse language, I'll sit back down. Anything less and I'm probably not piqued. Not to say that I never watch or enjoy movies without said warnings (that would be far from the truth), but thank goodness for HBO is all I can say. Why don't I have the Sopranos and Deadwood on dvd yet? Sheer laziness, most likely.
Nuh-uh! Nothing's funner than Pac-Man!
It's probably their least favorite, but the time I tried to play it, it also looked quite different from arcade style Pac-Man, which...RIP OFF! We were trying to recapture our youth, darn it.
I think my kids haven't yet figured out that there are video games that aren't educational. (Except for Midtown Madness which my daughter has played a few times)
If someone thought they were buying a sexy video game for their kids, and got sneak scenes of violence, I'd think that was wrong, and vice versa.
You get that the GTA thing involves a (free, and easily accessible, but still) separate download to get the sexy sex, right? Not the regular hooker-giving-you-a-blowjob-in-the-car that's a regular part of the game, but the full frontal (video game) stuff.

Cindy, buy the Atari-style joysticks that plug into the front of your TV or VCR player. Old-style Ms. PacMan, Asteroids, Pole Position, Breakout... all of them. It rocks. We don't bother plugging in our game console anymore, just the joystick games.
My parents bought me Archon (the battle-chess game), Hacker, and Arkanoid (fancied-up Breakout), as well as any InfoGames game I wanted. Of course, they also let me watch Monty Python, so I guess the violence and sex was okay if was presented by British people.
In a similar vein, another great baseball photo, the Wizard of Oz.
Proof that at least some baseball players are actually atheletes. Damn that's olympic level gymnast or diver form.
Anne - I have not. But now I suspect I want to.
Quick scientific poll: Who loves Ms Pac Man Best?
Convince me and I'll send you a present.
I gotta put a plug in for Katamari Damcay if we're gong to talk about no sex and violence games. [link]
Although I guess rolling over people and animals with a big ball of stuff is a little violent.
I think, given the opportunity, I would prefer my porn not to be computer-generated. I think that is just kinda lame.
After hearing what my dad and his devil-children siblings did to fight boredom as children since they didn't have TV or videogames, I have a hard time believing that either is all that harmful to kids in comparison.
