Gaming... s'not for girls.

A couple of weeks ago I read this mildly amusing article by Charlie Brooker  about how Mass Effect 3 allows you to be gay in space.

Why am I mentioning this now?  Because, like the sad, old, completist dinosaur that I am, I have finally bitten the bullet and completed Ye Olde Mass Effect 1,  so that I have the back story to go on and play games 2 and 3.  This, alongside raising a baby?  Yes.  I am a superhero. 

( Feminist gaming, anyone? No… didn't think so. )

And as for being allowed to be gay in ME3, I have to say that this does not bode well at all for me.  I really can't be doing with getting into romantic relationships in games.  I've got the universe to save, FFS.   Do I look like I want to play The SIMS? 

Pah.

(Ok, I sound like I'm moaning but I'm actually gagging for game 2 really)
