I hate pointing out when things look gay -- but, yeah, this looks pretty gay. Not the unacceptable "gay as a synonym for bad" kind of gay. I mean that the men pictured here are having sex with each other. They're the gayest gays that ever gayed a gay. And that's all right. Totally acceptable. It's a lifestyle choice that should in no way impede them in their pursuit of careers in the fields of moustache-having and being-a-racial-stereotype. I'm just having trouble imagining a scenario in which this game went to press without anyone, at any point, raising his hand and saying, "You know, this looks a little gay." I therefore have to assume it was intentional, and that I have every right to be disappointed that Cowboy Kid is not actually a videogame about the adventures of a gay cowboy and his well-oiled Native American sidekick. Instead, it turned out to be an awesome multiplayer platforming game. What a rip-off.

Fun Fact: Cowboy Kid features bosses named "The Scorpion Master" and "Keith." Nobody knows this because they were all too homophobic to actually play Cowboy Kid.
