Dad told me never to use XTREE when he wasn’t in the room.

I’m a star, baby. And I like presents.

BullyFor those not up on the ragged edge of video game hype, the new Rockstar title “Bully” is an open world. A very open world. It’s been called GTA Junior, but that’s not giving it enough credit. I’ll write something else about the game itself later, but the topic at hand is the kissing mechanic in the game.

There are social interaction options for every NPC, and when talking to girls, you can offer them delicious gifts from your inventory (flowers and chocolate). Once they’re suitably moneyed up, they give up the goods and suction your face for a sizable health bonus. I get hit by cars and preppies a lot, so this bonus is pretty important to my in-game survival.

Did I say girls? I meant kids.

10. So this is where homosexuality comes from!!!

Joystiq’s comment section is usually a cluster fuck, but much like Digg, sometimes it’s as good or better than the actual article it accompanies. In this particular instance I’m super impressed with (most of) the Joystiq constituency.

23. #15 “Why is so much of the USA so homophobic?” (Limey)

Leviticus 18:22 “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”

The Bible makes it clear that homosexuality is a sin. It’s on the same level as eating shrimp.

I am enjoying the living fuck out of this game. I play for a few hours every night. When I heard it mentioned in a pre-release review that there was an option to kiss boys, I got into an unannounced race with Fruit Brute of GayGamer to find the first kissable boy. Apparently there are several, but the Brute won by a few hours and posted this video.

It’s fantastic that Rockstar just put this in here without comment.

It’s the lack of comment on their part that makes it so progressive. It’s simply one among many choices that the player can make: do I hit this kid who gave me a wedgie, make peace, or tell him to eat shit? Do I take a bribe to egg the girls’ dorm, or do I keep out of trouble? Do I play hooky and go to the carnival, or do I go to shop class? Do I court the sassy redheaded girl, or the flaxen beefcake?

Me, I do it all. Except punch little kids. That’s not wicked in a fun way.
