Sooo... this episode was incredible.
**SPOILER ALERT**
If you haven't seen black mirror, it's basically like twilight zone but with futuristic tech. So in this episode, a couple friends play a street fighter like game called "striking vipers" as teens. 11 years later, they meet again and the one friend gives him a gift for his birthday, it's an updated version that's "immersive". So they both log in one night (the guy that gave the gift has already tried it out), but the other friend is shocked at how realistic it is. Well as most dudes, one always chooses the female character. Usually they say it's because they would rather be staring at a girl than some dude. So they both start fighting in the game, and at some point the girl character ends up on top of the dude. There's a pause, and then she ends up kissing her friend.

The dude backs away, wiping off his mouth. He's embarrassed he just kissed his friend, so he exits game. A few days go by, and they both log back into the game. You assume they are both going to ignore what happened before as they creep towards each other ready to fight, but then they both let down their guard and run to each others arms (this time having sex).
So this goes on and on, the one dude starts to hide this from his wife (plays at night while she's sleeping).
At one point, he asks his friend (who's a girl) what it feels like. He's like "craaazy! if being a man is like a guitar solo, being a woman is like a whole orchestra!"
Finally the one friend demands they kiss in person to see if there are any feelings, to know for sure if they're just gay. Turns out there aren't any feelings, the only feelings are in the game.
Eventually the married friend confesses, and they strike a deal that one day a month he gets to have sex in the game if she can go on a date with someone.
