...unlike cinema, computer gaming is a medium which requires the player to make things up for themselves. An individual game may be laden with 'plot points' but its narrative is always up for grabs. It is a format of scenarios rather than stories, elements which can be bolted together in differing orders with varying outcomes.

Will Slashdot have to put up a "sexually explicit" warning just in case some geek posts a comment about his hot-and-bothered thoughts about Princess Leia or Natalie Portman covered with grits?
You're missing the real payload here - Carrie Fisher AND Natalie Portman covered with grits!
(Or Princess Leia and Senator Amidala - not quite sure why you mixed actors/roles)

let gamers simultaneously play three-dimensional games while encoding music or scanning for viruses.
I'm sure that's what AMD and Intel were thinking when they set out to design dual-core chips. "How can we let people rip CDs and scan their systems for viruses while playing the latest 3D-accelerated games with no slowdown?"
Not to mention, things like ripping music and scanning for viruses are going to thrash the disk as much as they use the cpu, so any semi-intensive game won't be playable anyway.

Ooo, a bondage language! Chain me up!
men want porn, women don't
Most of the women I know enjoy porn as much as or more than I do.
