We weren't around last week. This week, we make up for it by spending the majority of the time talking about sex.
On Podtoid 78, Topher Cantler, Aaron Linde, Jim Sterling and myself discuss the present and future of porn games. Can they be made well? Do we want them to be made well? Is there a market for them? For how long will we pretend that we wouldn't play one?
As always, you can listen to it here, or subscribe to us on iTunes. This episode's highlights include:
- Prince of Persia: great game, or greatest game?
- The greatest listener email ever
- The wanking peripheral in question
- Bonetown, and the stupidity therein
- Are porn games even possible?
- Famous game locales, revisited
This week's best listener question came from Reginald, who managed to get us on a fifteen minute tangent that somehow ended in Oddworld.

Looking forward to hearing how you guys received PoP after Nick's glowing review.
At the same time, the plots and dialogue of many of the absurd adult features (especially the parodies) are more entertaining than a lot mainstream comedy features. And they are evolving into more of an artform, the kind of thing Damiano always hoped the industry would become.
Are they cheesy? Often, but not always. There are good examples of erotic drama within the pornography industry. We're just so consumed by the idea that they are only good for smut because the vast majority of the content they produce fits that mold.
God damn it, Anthony, god damn it.
Wait...
Too late.
Wait...
Too late.
Still... all the links seem broken :-/
Also I agree with Topher that there are good porn games worth mentioning. I'm not going to mention any because I am not quite totally shameless.
