charlie brooker defends romance in ME3
Charlie: I'm playing Mass Effect 3 at the moment.
Lauren: Okay, what is it, what happens.
Charlie: It's a space epic where you get to have - as a *side* plot, you do get to have romance with people and have sex with them.
Lauren: In games? People do that in games?
Charlie: You can have sex with a man in it, but you have to *romance* him, over *hours* of gameplay. You don't just go to a nightclub in Vauxhall and neck a load of ketamine and end up in a sauna up to the elbow in two guys from Holland. It's not like that, it's *tender*! These people are mad!
...
David: Are you saying that Mass Effect is more tender than real life?
Charlie: ... Actually... Actually yes it is!
