		<description>Hooray for birthdays!  Eat cake; be merry; jump around like a weirdo because no one can stop you because it's your fucking birthday!

In France, they mostly celebrate saints' days instead of birthdays--the holiday of the saint that has your name.  But I'm not sure about a St. BrainFromArous... :-).</description>

		<description>Agreed, and we also need to celebrate my birthday - today!

Yes, I know this is off-topic. I just wanted to post something cheerful here, for once, instead of my usual crankiness.</description>

		<description>There's a 2 page spread *ahem* (sorry) in one of the biggest Australian national newspapers on sex in gaming - not bad coverage from the mainstream press.

http://www.theage.com.au/news/games/adults-only/2006/08/08/1154802893878.html

But it's still lightweight and pushing all the usual buttons.

"But shameless flesh-flashing, as in the abominable BMX XXX, which featured topless bicycle riders and strippers, is not going to earn the industry respect. Nor is the tacky voyeurism of games such as Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball, Rumble Roses or Playboy: The Mansion - titles all designed to titillate, with game and story elements almost secondary to the objectification of female characters."

They do use the term "Poke-the-doll", which I think is hilarious and should have the usual conservative groups spluttering into their coffee. especially if their daughter or son has one of these: http://www.plushfriends.com/g20090.html.</description>
