Podtoid 78: Porn and Lisa Frank photo

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.

[The song is from here.]

Christ, my entire childhood was blinded by the bright fucking colors of Lisa Frank. That's what I get for having a unicorn-loving sister...

I disagree with your assessment that pornography cannot be viewed as cinema. I'm quite satisfied to fast-forward through sex scenes to see where some porn will go. Watch the classic Gerard Damiano film The Devil in Miss Jones for an excellent example.

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.

Jim's final comment at the end reminded me of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. In the second episode of the show one of the main characters finds out he's got a son, who's a horrible little shit. His son forces him to talk him to the mall and tells him "You've got to buy me a toy. If you don't buy me a toy I'll tell mom you took me to a black person's house!"

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.
