Tuesday was a big day for video game news; a day that truly showed the duality of humanity. It was impossible to miss the news that Microsoft had bought Activision Blizzard, a stunning shift for the industry. But the other big story was that a rule 34 animated video by Tifa Lockhart was shown in the Italian Parliament.
Coincidentally, of course – that was it not
Anyway, in lighter news, have you heard about the Tifa Lockhart hentai video that was accidentally shown during a session of the Italian Senate yesterday?

“I thought it was pretty funny, laughed a lot at it!” he told Polygon via Twitter DMs. Friends and fans sent him the clip when it went viral on Twitter. “I actually have no idea what the interrupted stream was about,” he says, but other artists do are already creating fan art of the meme
