Homosexual men seem to really enjoy games. We should know, as one of SPOnG’s most avid RPG gamers and writers was (and presumably still is) a tail-gunner of some repute. Add this to the homosexual hangout that is Gaming Age Forums, and there’s quite a profit to be had rendering digitally rendered man-flesh.
And today, THQ announced what looks set to be the third homoerotic masterpiece, following on from Sega’s Spartan and Rockstar’s The Warriors with news that it has acquired the Conan license.
The deal, penned overnight with Paradox Entertainment and Conan Properties International, sees THQ scoop the rights to make games with a musclebound man in a loincloth for all current and next generation home consoles as well as handheld and mobile devices.
“Combining the epic adventures and stunning environments found throughout the Conan Universe with next-gen video game technology will add a whole new chapter to Conan's rich history," said Germaine Gioia, vice president of licensing at THQ, neglecting to mention that it expands THQ’s pink offering of those wrestling games they love to make.

If the games re based off the comic or novels then they could be good games if done properly..
Truth be told we love to play as sword wielding, long haired warriors. Prince of Persia series, Gaunlet and now more Conan are just developers rediscovering the roots of 80's gaming and improving upon them, for new and old audiences. Not a bad thing providing they are done well and earn your money.
My my, THQ. How much you've grown and raised your game since cheesy crap like Harry's Humongous Adventure back on 16bit consoles. Now that was a really bad game. LOL.
Think I've seen a video of this Conan game from E3 and it looks really good. I'll look forward to finding out more about the mystery of Conan.
(Oh, girls, girls, girls, love them)

I am not averse to listening to the spice girls while flexing my joystick myself.
But then, I'm too sexy for my skirt. Sorry... erm.... shirt. So sexy it hurts.

while writing a bit of an essay on the future of gaming and this "convergence" thing (for my own entertainment really) I actualy used the refference "as the spice girls say: two become one".
I have some of the most horrible taste in music of anyone you may ever meet
most embarasing purchases:
"vanilla ice and MC hammer back to back"
"Aqua the first one, dotn remeber the album name"
but truth be told i actually have a very shamefull love of all things "rap rock" ... korn and linkin park and the like... its terrible... but i've said to much...

Yawn - yes, i'm gay, yes I love video games - so what? It doesn't mean I only play games with half naked men in them - although luckily it meant I didnt succumb to Lara Crofts breasts and her terrible games!

You correlate our painstaking statistical research.
As for the games with half-naked menv in them, surely you enjoy them as bit. At least as much as we enjoy watching Lara Croft's but, and hearing her go "uuuughh" as we (purporselfully) walk her into walls.
If not, that'd be like, totally straight, dude.

I sometimes ride that train myself. I like Linkin Park and a bit of RATM, Chilli Peppers, Deft Ones. But at present, I'm listening to nothing but Guitar Wolf.
In fact, the truth is out here

Whoa there!
I mentioned Linkin Park and Rage in the same sentence.
I never mentioned THAT OTHER BAND. Nor would I.

In my world the two are poles apart.

Which is four lines more than I know ;-)
Funny we ended up talking about a Limp Biscuit in a gaymes thread. Their name always reminds me of the inevitable result of the game that they play at 'public' schools. Where he who comes last gets to eat the man-milk morsel.

This piece completely fails to mention big, gay THQ's other big, gay licence - Spongebob Squarepants!
Oh, and was Lee really a tail gunner? I never would have guessed! ;-)

What that rhyme needed was the word QUEER.
And there we are, right back on topic.

They aren't at all Rap/Metal. They are Japanese trash punk garage noise merchants with an overwhelming love of Joan Jett and the Ramones.
I'll put some where you can get em, and email you over the weekend.

You have, I'm guessing, the seminal Judgement Night soundtrack?

sounds good to me, i was actually at a bloodhound gang concert 2 weeks back and the ban opening for them was "electric eel shock", which i really enjoyed. its painfulyl simplistic engRish jap punk. catchy if nothing else

Of COURSE I did.
I bought several of their albums at Amoeba Records in Haight-Ashbury in sunny San Francisco, a couple more at Amoeba on Sunset in LA. Two more I bought a couple months ago at Tower on Broadway. And the last two (ironaically their first two) I bought from Amazon.com last week.
I'd just like to say that I think it's freaking annoying and offensive that a good brit-kid like me should have to export hard earned pounds sterling to a country ruled by an insane egotistical retard, just to get cool ass J-Punk records.
