There’s no sex in your violence

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, I believe the greatest video game ever,has been given the rating of AO. , or adults only. Due to hidden content in the game, only unlocked through a modification to the game code (easily done on a PC, difficult to do on Playstation or X-Box), which allows the player to have sex with a nude girlfriend as a side “game”. The game was already rated M, supposed to only be sold to people over the age of 17.

I really don’t understand why this is such a big deal. If you are old enough to play a game in which you can blow the heads off of old ladies as you watch the blood spray from their heads, pick up a prostitute drive her to an ally watch the car rock back and forth and then beat her with a baseball bat when she leaves to get your money back, and watch cut scenes where the characters smoke bongs, say fuck, bitch and n***er, then you’re old enough to play a game in which you can watch a sex scene between your character and your characters girlfriend. What is with our cultures ridiculous stigma with nudity and sex?

I think it’s the animal nature of both sex and nudity. Sex is primal; it lowers us from the vastly technological creatures we’ve made ourselves. We lose our logical sides and just go for it. Nothing else matters except getting and delivery pleasure. Intense guttural experiences like that are the times we truly know we’re alive. The moment of impact, the seconds of joy, good or bad experiences, you’re definitely alive.

Speaking of GTA: San Andreas, with it recently in the news, I had a renewed push to get it to 100% complete. I left it at about 84% complete for several months being to busy with buying the house, and the other things associated with it to play. I’m now at 91% complete. The game is so fantastic. The fact that you can do almost anything you want is what makes it so great. It’s certainly not a game for kids under 16, maybe even 18. For we big kids, it’s good fun.
