Lady Mainframe brings us the best in gaming news

With Layla Kayleigh’s recent breast reduction, I have a new favorite British news anchor to help me get the best gaming news around; just a shame she isn’t real. Lady Mainframe, the digital news host of The Binary Picture Show is the newest 3D rendered hottie making waves in the gaming industry.

A creation of Doctor Nemesis and his team, this well endowed lady brings the very best in gaming news from the shores of Britain on a somewhat weekly basis. Though started as an experiment, the team realized they had something special and decided to continue making the show with more content.

Created by using Machinima techniques, and some video effects, the show is posted on the official website as both a YouTube embed and a high resolution download. Though the news footage seen on the show is not taken by the team, unless stated otherwise, the graphics and scripts used are all created by the BPS team.

Doctor Nemesis, like our own Neiro, works endlessly to make the show the best it can be and hopes to make the show a huge success someday.

Check the video to see the best of the gaming news from Lady Mainframe.

Wicked Atari 2600 Handheld Mod

Benjamin Heckendorn, the modder that brought us the one handed Xbox 360 controller, has created a new handheld Atari 2600 system. What looks like a cousin of the Nintendo DS, the Atari 2600 handheld sports a folding screen and a basic control system. Sorry guys, no touch system on this one and the handheld is definitely heavier and bigger than the Nintendo DS.

Benjamin has created handheld Atari 2600 designs before but nothing this pretty. Though most of the emails to the site ask for Xbox 360 mods, Benjamin feels that there could be some interest still in mods of the older systems like the Atari 2600.

The Evils of Viva Pinata

Note: For all the people without a sense of humour - THIS IS A SATIRE!

Everyone keeps talking about Bully and how it got away with a teen rating despite its violent context, but little do they know that there is one game that is corrupting our youth day after day -- and it got away with an E for everyone rating. That game is Viva Piñata. Sure, it looks innocent enough from a distance, but once you play the game, you will see the corrupt nature of Microsoft hidden deep within.

The game starts as your character arrives on Viva Piñata Island to find a little girl wearing a mask who asks for your help in rebuilding the garden. The garden around you looks like something out of a downtown ghetto with tires, weeds and pieces of junk everywhere, but don't worry because the girl helps you start the game by telling how to tend and attract piñatas to your garden.

Now, can you see the racism in that beginning alone? I mean obviously if the island is full of piñatas and the little girl is wearing a festive mask, then she must be Mexican and by having her tell you how to fix the garden instead of having her do it herself, it's Microsoft’s way of saying Mexicans are lazy. You see how evil this game is.

Things just get worse from there. As piñatas arrive in your garden, you are required to build them homes, satisfy their needs and then mate them to make more piñatas of their kind. Harmless enough, right? Harmless until you get to the mini games.

You see, Microsoft wants our children to believe that mating is nothing more than a game, and worse of all, some of the piñatas even have some weird kinks in their mating mini game rituals.

The Tafflies are required to navigate a maze of bombs that is in the shape of a pile of poo with stink lines. How can we believe this is suppose to be a wholesome game, when our children are playing mini games in poo shaped bomb mazes in hopes of mating some piñatas?

Sounds like weird scat play to me. There are even mazes that are phallic shaped for piñatas like the Worm or the Syrupent. The mating process gets much worse when the piñatas start performing their filthy sexual dances before they make their little babies.

For example, the Taffly’s dance has them sucking on each other with their mouths and then one even goes as far as to suck up the other one and then spit it back out with some weird green slime. If that doesn’t sound sexual, then I don’t know what does. This is a kid’s game and there should be nothing sexual in it, especially when it comes to making piñata babies.

Viva Piñata even has incest and possible gay sex going on. Yes, once you mate two piñatas, you can then mate them with their offspring and they will produce a baby piñata together.

Is Microsoft trying to teach our kids that having relations with your family is OK? They should have made it true to real life and had the baby piñatas come out disfigured or something. Of course, with all this weird breeding going on, I bet people didn’t even stop to think about the fact that each piñata has no distinctive features to separate the boy piñatas from the girl piñatas.

They have no genitalia, yet they can breed. How is that possible and how do we know we aren’t breeding boy piñatas together? You see how sick and twisted this game is. The people at Microsoft are trying to warp the minds of our children with their evil gay, incestuous piñata sex. Next thing you know, your children will be humping the piñata at their next birthday party, instead of breaking it open. God, I hate to imagine how warped our children could end up from all this.

The weird sex isn’t the only thing going on it the game though. Getting back to the racist nature of the game, you have all these obvious Mexican people on the island and what pray tell does Microsoft have you doing to the Mexican people? They have you hiring them to do gardening.

Thats right, Microsoft has the little Hispanic people doing hard labor in another ploy to keep the immigrants down. These game developers make me sick. Even the people working in the stores are only paid with chocolate coins. So, what the Mexicans aren’t good enough to receive real pay for all their hard work? No, we have to pay them in food and shelter, instead of real money or they may get a leg up in life and we can’t have that.

Finally to top off all this sick, twisted gameplay, your children will be forced to watch as piñatas kill other piñatas and feast upon their chocolate candy insides or watch as they are bashed to death and poisoned by the evil Ruffians that live on the island.

One evil Ruffian will even kill your piñatas for just getting sick. Is this Microsoft’s way of saying that when an animal gets sick, your only choice is to kill it. God, what are you trying to do to our children? They're going to need therapy just to make it through life as somewhat normal people after this game.

Play the game for yourselves and see the evils I’ve talked about in this article. People like Jack Thompson are so worried about the violent and sexual messages we see in games like Bully and Grand Theft Auto 3, that they can’t see the corruption that is getting to our children in games like Viva Piñata or Pokemon.

If games like these can get an E rating, then perhaps the rating system does need to be re-evaluated. I urge anyone reading this, if you have Viva Piñata in your home, please don’t let your children play as they will be corrupted by the foul messages that lay within.

A Video Game Writer's Guide to Original Content

Everyone knows that every good video game blog needs original content to compete with the big boys and bring in the readers, but finding or creating original content can be difficult. That’s why I created ten tips for the struggle video game blog writer to create original content.

1. Original News Stories

Tired of always being the last to hear about a big news story, well stop whining, and start making your own. Instead of waiting for the next industry person to get a drunk drinking charge, find your own video game designer, get him drunk and put him behind the wheel yourself. Bonus points for being the other car he hits.
Sexual harassment suits don’t just happen by themselves, people. Ladies, find yourself a big name video game person, dress slutty and then after you orchestrate a boob brush, claim sexual harassment. Guys, you can also try this. Take one for the team and get someone like Peter Moore into a compromising position for some great photo ops. Who cares if the world will think you’re gay, you will have the scoop of your life.
Kidnapping a major player is good too, and then blogging about it. When the time is right, you could be the first person to find the blog site, reveal the location of the kidnapped and then after a small stay in prison, sell the rights to your bio. It’s a win, win situation.

2. Video Game Crafts

We all love to read and post little stories about a cute Mario blanket made by hand, or a cross stitched Master Chief picture. Well instead of looking for the next cute little pillow with Kirby on it, make it, damn it. Learn how to paint, sew or create paper mache and make the next big video game craft. May I suggest a life-sized Master Chief made out of Popsicle sticks or perhaps an entire room decorated as a tribute to Dead or Alive? Also don’t forget about making your own costumes for cosplay posts. I wanna see a Gears of War costume made entirely out of paper mache. Guys, you can always take the easy route and dress up as Link or any Final Fantasy character for a quick surge of embarrassment posts from other sites.

3. Insider Game Information

Stop whining about how all the writers you know have the inside track due to their insider contacts and get out there are make your own friends. Find all the game developer companies in your area and start hanging around the bars near them. Sooner or later, you’ll run into someone that works for a game developer. Once you make contact, try impressing the hell out of them to make them your best friend; I suggest money bribes and hookers. Once you make friends, you can then grill them for insider info on their latest game. If they refuse to tell you anything, then get them drunk. The info should flow like wine after that.

4. First Game Reviews

Always tiring to beat a game as fast as you can to be the first one to write a review about it, well stress no more. Instead of waiting to buy a game on the first day of release or even waiting for it to come to you from your friends at the game company, break into the studio months in advance and steal the beta versions of the game. That way you have months to review it and you don’t have to worry about anyone getting it before you.

5. You Tube or Google Videos

Its time to stop surfing the You Tube site every day looking for the newest and best video for the site. Instead take a page from the book of Ron Workman and make your own. Bonus points if you include video games and setting yourself on fire.

6. Tech Posts

Instead of waiting for someone else to do it, take your own consoles, controllers and handhelds apart to see what they’re made of. Sure, you may not be able to put it back together, but the story will be well worth the sacrifice. Even better try kidnapping someone famous in the video game industry like Hideo Kojima and have a brain surgeon cut his head open and probe his brain on camera for the ultimate look at what makes a video game genius tick.

7. Modifying

We've seen what people can do with their consoles, controllers, etc. when they combine then with a shoe, coffee maker, etc. So instead of waiting for someone else to make the next cool mod, get off your duff and do it yourself. Bonus points if you modify your controller to control your dog.

8. Scientific Articles

For some of smart writers out there, why not try doing a scientific piece of the mating habits of Pokemon, or piñatas. Think there’s a hidden message inside all the Sonic the Hedgehog games or perhaps a conspiracy to bring down Nintendo. Well then share your crazy… I mean ingenious thoughts with the world. Bonus points if you really do find a conspiracy to bring down Nintendo.

9. Borrow Original Articles

Instead of using your amazing intellect to create original content, just use it to hack into other game journalists’ computers and steal their original content. Just make sure you change a few words here and there, so no one will suspect the theft.

10. Make Stuff Up

If all else fails, just make crap up.

If You Only Buy One Album This Year...

Generally I don't tend to talk about anything other than video games on my blog, but hey when you know you have at least 500 people a day hitting your site, you tend to take advantage of their attention when you have something important to say.

A while back I discovered a talented young singer along with the rest of North America through the media known as American Idol. Now usually I hate this show and anything like it, but after deciding to watch the auditions for the show (Due to lack of cable and anything else better to watch), I couldn't help but keep watching after I realised there was some actually talent on this year's show.

One of those talented singers was a guy named Chris Daughtry. Though booted off the show as 4 last person to go, Chris was still picked up by the American Idol label and recently released his newest self-titled debut album, "Daughtry". With such great songs like Breakdown and It's Not Over, I highly suggest you go out and buy, not download, but buy this album for two reasons. One: This Album, this band rocks and is well worth the money and two: Chris is a new artist and needs the support of his fans. New artists deserve to have their albums bought.

I know what you're thinking... "Oh god, American Idol singers, but this guy is different. Fuel wanted to pick him up as a lead singer, and he declined to do his own thing. Chris is the next big thing, trust me. Listen to his stuff and see for yourself.

If you want to hear some samples from his album, hit either www.daughtryofficial.com or their my space page, www.myspace.com/daughtry.

If you like what you hear, then I suggest you check out his last band before the whole American Idol thing, Absent Element. They have several great songs, like Conviction, Breakdown (which were both merged for the Daughtry album to create Breakdown) and Keep Me Close.

Check out both bands and buy the darn CD. You'll thank me for it later.

Now we return you to your regularly scheduled video game articles.
