S*x. S*x s*x s*x. It’s something that’s gone hand in hand with gaming since the beginning of its history. It’s a funny old history, to be sure. We’ve cringed at the ugly, laughed with the funny, and maybe just occasionally, enjoyed the fine forms of our gaming heroes onscreen as they engage in adventures beyond the scope of our regular lives.

Grab the new Atomic and feast upon the very best feature story written on the topic. Atomic 80 has it all, in a serious, mature, and sometimes silly look. Video games isn’t all about defeating bad aliens, you know...

More good Live news this week, our friends at Good Game, the most excellent games show on ABC 2, will be there all day calling the shots at the World GamesMaster Tournament. They’ll be joined on stage later in the day by the great Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, all adding up to a day that’s going to change everything you knew about anything.
Oh, and we’ve got crazy inflatable jumping games, too. Plus the odd bit of technology here and there.
October 20 – not long now!
