	SWTOR Goes Free-to-Play This week, Notch states that the characters in Minecraft are genderless and a researcher in UK wants parents arrested for buying violent games for their children. Steve also delivers his opinion on 2k stating that games need photo-realism to advance. Watch Video

	wait? how can every player in minecraft be homosexual if they are genderless? i think you mean Asexuality (sometimes referred to as nonsexuality),[1][2][3] in its broadest sense, is the lack of sexual attraction to others[4][5][6] or the lack of interest in sex.[6][7] It may also be considered a lack of a sexual orientation. and that beard......

The tweet was actually about the animals in MC which share features of both male and female and can breed with any other member of their species. Thus making them likely to be hermaphrodites.

In that they are all the same 'gender', so if they are attracted to each other they must be homosexual. OT: Liking the new 'in my opinion bit'.

	Steve, are you purposely letting your facial hair grow out? If you keep your moustache the same length, but shave the rest, you'd have an awesome turn-of-the-century moustache, like Stephen Fry's character from the last series of Blackadder. :)

	Makes sense, even the enderdragon lays an egg, but Steve? has a male name and a beard and used to have deep grunts.

	So TOR is finally gonna be FTP, I think I'll actually try it (for the story that is, couldn't care less about multiplayer)

	Steve, I completely agree with you. Some the most emotionally investing games I've ever played are about as photo-realistic as Peanuts and Garfield.

Revolutionary	16 POSTED: 4 Aug 2012 09:08
	Yeah Steve is such a manly name Steve. Nicely said.

	I don't have as much free as I did before, will be keeping up with this video for a more condensed week of news.

	Did I hear Steve right? A Dr. Horrible sequel? And then not a single crap was given that day.

Endocrom	20 POSTED: 6 Aug 2012 00:51
	Steve, the manliest of names? Slab Bulkhead may disagree

	Awesome news about SW:TOR going FTP! I haven't played since the last free weekend. And yeah, screw photorealism! A game's visuals and graphics are what make them stand out from each other. Sometimes I can't tell the Call of Dutys and Battlefields apart!
