While the topic of same-sex marriage seems like it has no place or purpose within the confines of a kid-friendly MMORPG, the world of MMO gaming was changed when it was publicly announced that Dream of Mirror Online would include same-sex marriage options for players. Other MMOs offer similar features but without the actual wedding process.

Cinemablend.com had an interview with the Project Manager for Tales of Pirates, Neil Chan and mentioned this gay marriage subject months ago, the answer was no and a debate started. According to their upcoming interview they had with the manager, it was revealed that some measure of progress is being made and that the topic is still being debated.

Here are some quotes:

Here at TOP we don’t discourage discussion of the subject, in fact since the story broke we’ve been actively encouraging our players to share their feelings and opinions about it. Since we put out the call for our players to weigh in and help us decide, the debate has been split almost 50/50, and the debate is just heating up

If you're at work or on a slower computer, beware: the tour is heavy going on your web browser. But it's worth bookmarking and saving for a quieter moment, if only because you'll rarely, if ever, see something this great in real life.

Guys, we are facing a problem now...following quotes from kotaku.com

Hey, lady gamers: your ranks are increasing. A study by the NPD Group has revealed that the number of female console gamers is on the rise, reaching 28% of the console userbase earlier this year.

That mark represents a 5% increase over 2008, and was helped along by a 19% increase in Wii use across the board. "Last year was one of the most transformative in history in terms of defining the audience for gaming, says Anita Frazier, from the NPD Group. "Even with the increased competition from mobile and social network gaming, the console gamer segment added the most new participants to its ranks in the last year."

If you're wondering how they came across these numbers, they were drawn from a survey group of 20,000 people, aged 2-65.

Okay my only problem with the survey is, 2-5 year olds can do a survey? My 2 years old nephew prefers throwing my controller to pressing buttons to play

A research study at the University of Arkansas has indicated that excessive gaming interferes with sleep. Thank goodness that mystery has finally been solved.

Research studies sound like a great deal of fun. You get to arbitrarily assign values and definitions and then cull data based on those arbitrary assignments in order to get obvious answers! Take this University of Arkansas study, which was presented at the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies on Monday, surveyed 137 students - 87 females and 50 non-females, you know, to preserve balance...somehow. They then separated the results for excessive gamers from the casual or non-gamers, defining excessive as those who spend more than 7 hours a week playing computer games or using the internet.

My mother spends over seven hours a week using the internet. By this study's standards, my mom is hardcore.

Principal investigator Amanda Woolems indicated that previous research has determined that excessive gamers spend less time in bed. True, though I'd say that depends on the frequency of save points in whatever game I might be playing at the time and whether or not I've fallen asleep in m

Well I'm not here talking about how ugly they originally look, but everytime when you see the right side of each picture, how could you just realize these elements (most of them are important to the feeling of a photo) are fake? There's no doubt girls in current days like photoshopping their photos to make themselves look better, to me that's what I hate most, because I feel sad people only make friends according to appearance.
