Not really a gamer any more but had to post this, as its a riot (and insightful, natch):

That's very good, I quite like that. I particularly like the emphasis on the point that sex with aliens has always been perfectly acceptable in sci-fi but sex with gay aliens is complaint material. Excellent.

'gilded John Inman in space'

He's right about the people whinging about the end of Mass Effect 3, too.

I bet those people complaining are really looking foward to GTA V. Time get some a van load of writing paper and some new pens...

"It has no physical form, so you can't get a grip on it, much as you'd like to. You'd love to grab it and throttle it until it splutters its last. That might bring you closure."

PMSL.

Quality article as always from Mr Brooker.
Shame he isn't (or isn't allowed to be) this funny on 10 o'clock Live.

[i]It's hard to see how they could make Star Wars any gayer, unless they gave the Millennium Falcon a handlebar moustache.[/i]

His best for a while

Obviously you can't fight the big gay penis in your head. It has no physical form, so you can't get a grip on it, much as you'd like to. You'd love to grab it and throttle it until it splutters its last.

He earned his fee for that statement alone!

superb and some great lines in there and he makes a great point

Personal choice and co-operation: two appalling threats to our youth.
