Welcome To Wisteria Lame
I’m on a real roll today with news about games that nobody’s ever going to play, aren’t I? I guess it’s true, you can lead a whore to culture…but I ain’t drinkin’. More importantly, neither is Eva Longoria. I’d be surprised as all get-out if she even knows about the next game based on a television franchise that surprises absolutely nobody by being total crap. I’m talkin’ Desperate Housewives, of course, which Joystiq lobs into our brainspace by describing as “a stripped down Sims with a TV show name and premise slapped on it.” I’d be surprised if it even goes that far. Designing games for women is a great idea, if you don’t assume that women are PC-phobic brainless kitchen appliances whose idea of fun is swapping out different color tracksuits and having simulated sex with low-resolution gardeners. Get the hatbox down from the closet shelf and I’ll shoot the bitch myself.

Other stuff like this: desperate, housewives
I used to work with a (straight) woman who was totally addicted to playing the Sims. She would come to work talking about the hours she spent the night before. It was funny because you never in a million years would have guessed her to be any kind of gamer.
Uh… I find it odd you would post this here of all places.
Desperate Housewives is one of the absolutely best televsion shows in history, and has a huge gay following. Not to mention, you honestly can’t judge the game as it isn’t out yet.
When you play it and it sucks, then comment. Otherwise dont waste my time here.
You think it’s odd for gaygamer to talk about a DespHo video game because the show has a large gay fan base? That doesn’t make much sense. Did you follow the link and read the story? There’s not much to say other than “here it is, features look boring, franchise games quite often suck, looks like this one has a head start.” Of course this wasn’t a review, honey, it’s a news item with catty flair – a perfect tribute to a show we all obviously love. And sugar, if you’re worried about wasting your time…why waste time writing a comment?
I personaly don’t love DH. I’ve tried my darndest to like, but I can’t get into it. Not to say that it doesn’t have it’s merits. It is a very popular show, just not quite my style. I’m more of a LOST kind of guy, which they are also making a game of, but I don’t think I will be playing that one either. I guess the DH is just one hole that won’t get punched on my gay card… :(
Lena,
I think its odd they would post such a negative piece on the game (they haven’t played nor is released) on this site because the gay fanbase. Why put something down, or talk down about something they haven’t themselves played?
I honestly just dont like people judging it before they get a chance to fiddle around with it.
on a side not, reading the entry again i find alot of things confusing.
Things that didnt make sense:
“I guess it’s true, you can lead a whore to culture…but I ain’t drinkin’.” please explain that to me. What does drinking have to do with leading whore into culture, and what/who is the whore? Eva, DH, what?
“Get the hatbox down from the closet shelf and I’ll shoot the bitch myself.” Once again, who is the bitch? im so confused.
P.S. dont call me honey ;)
No bad feelings, just ranting about this one entry i found to be … annoying.
Maybe it’s a bit of a stretch for you, but there is some definite wit going on here. Let’s examine your first example, shall we?
“I guess it’s true, you can lead a whore to culture…but I ain’t drinkin’.”
It’s based on the old cliche:
“You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.”
Whore, horse, whore, horse….it’s a play on words, get it? So the whole thing is self-deprecating humour. It’s okay to laugh. That was the idea.
thanks random fairy, that actually explained that one for me…
either im blonder than i thought or i just didnt get it.
