Just saw this on ign.com, regarding the new social interactions in the upcoming expansion to The Sims:
Instead of the basic hug, you can now choose from up to four different kinds of hugs depending on your mood. The basic hug is still here of course, but you can increase the passion of the hug by picking the intimate or romantic hug option. Then there's the option to leap into someone's arms. Sean showed us a demo of how this works by getting one character to leap into the arms of another: "If her hygiene is high enough, he'll accept it and both their moods goes up. However let's say her bladder is really low. He's got a new tickle he can do on her [the extreme tickle]. If the bladder's low enough on the other person, they'll wet their pants." Once she jumped back into his arms, he got the scent of it and threw her on the ground. Awesome.
The extreme tickle. 😎 Maxis's game designers are geniuses. The expansion, called Hot Date, is due out this November.
Also, and I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but there is an entire scenario in the Nintendo 64 game Conker's Bad Fur Day that centers around tickling a female sunflower character. There's this drunken bee that wants to pollinate this pretty, chesty sunflower, but when Conker tries to talk to her, she tells him to stay away, because "his tail is far too tickly."
So to get her to talk to him, Conker has to find five groups of "pacifist" bees who "only like to tickle people" to tickle the sunflower until she uncovers herself. It's silly and cute, but the sunflower's laughter is pretty good.
EDIT: oops, this belongs in mainstream, doesn't it? Sorry 'bout that.
