Creepy Digital Puppets Say: "Kids, Don't Have Sex"
If there are two things that have been scientifically proven to be super effective, they would be abstinence education and educational video games. Now, researchers from the University of Central Florida (I think Lynyrd Skynryd are alumni) are harnessing the power of video game technology to create a virtual simulator "game" that gives our children an opportunity to try out abstinence strategies in a safe, motion capture environment. A Florida Fox TV station blew the lid off this story, so check out their video report for more on this new, totally-not-a-big-waste-of-time-and-money project. Teen sex, your days are numbered. Especially if we can convince kids that their peers actually look like the deformed, blueish creatures from the game (see above). Yuck.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
