They could've picked almost any other style of video game and I probably could've gotten there, but the only thing more absurd than Capcom programming Street Fighter XV so that Ryu and Chun-Li

have genitals and can fuck would be Treyarch added a love room to the Call of Duty maps. I even get why a fighting game would feel like the right choice on paper, but it just didn't work for me. Maybe if I didn't play video games I wouldn't even think about that the whole time. I am glad they definitively answered that question, though, when Karl described his glistening pussy and how good it feels. I spent more than a reasonable amount of time wondering how long these dudes were dry humping every night.
This wasn't "The Waldo Moment" outright horrible or "Men Against Fire" outright boring, I liked a lot of individual parts of it, but this was the first episode of this show where the fundamental technology behind everything just had me asking too many questions the show wasn't going to answer like whether ALL video games have a fuck mode in this new future, and if so how many people know about it, and are these dudes cumming in their pants like a wet dream and if so how is their wife/girlfriend not noticing all the cum everywhere while they're not fucking and so on and so forth.
LASTLY, they established Falcon and his girl liked to roleplay, so once they realized it wasn't a gay thing and just a game thing, why wouldn't he not only come clean to his wife and also invite her to play? He could even try on the lady body and let her play the guitar solo and get her "revenge" on him by really blowing his back out! Just too many questions and loose ends.
Also, Karl was a weird cross between Greg Oden and Kevin Durant and kind of hard to look away from on screen. Super excited to see what he brings to the table on The Watchmen later this year.
