Somehow the furor surrounding the hidden sex pictures in K-Dice flash game is still bubbling, with Gamespot reporting on rumors that - gasp – Ryan himself may have tipped off hackers about the existence of the offending code. A videogame publisher - intentionally courting controversy? Heavens, whatever next? No matter who weighs into the argument, however, be it Hilary Clinton or the latest pious whining superstar of the American Religious Right, one fact remains: the flashgaming community just can't do scandal. Let's face it, a few laughable scenes of polygonal coupling does not a Watergate make. Even the troubled relationship between Jude 'mind-blowing in bed' Law and Sienna 'pictured without engagement ring' Miller is more interesting than this limp tale of adolescent sex fantasy, Christian self-righteousness and coding. According to K-dice gamers, the pictures are able to be viewed by typing in "xxx223876" in the chat box then by pressing "Ctrl F4" Nothing is more tedious than publicity desperation, so the prospect of inveterate controversy-flirt K-Dice going up against the ever-disgusted National Institute on Media and the Family, who are so revolted by the moral failings of modern society I am surprised they can motivate themselves to issue 50 press releases a day on the subject, is about as exciting and shocking as two ex-Big Brother contestants pointlessly flailing at each other outside some godforsaken Essex nightspot at three in the morning. This whole escapade isn't even as titillating as the SimCopter controversy of 1996 where a coder was allegedly sacked by Maxis for planting secret gay images in a helicopter sim. At least that one had the faint whiff of homophobia about it - plus, the presence of secret gay imagery in a helicopter simulation was amusingly random. But sex in a flash game - should we really be shocked by that? A love scene - is this the best the Canadian flash giant Ryan Newbury can do? Sport, movies, music, theatre - all of these areas of entertainment can shock in a profoundly life-changing way. Flashgames? Nowhere near. Perhaps it's the distinct lack of glamour in the industry, the lack of strong, engaging personalities to simultaneously seduce and outrage us. Perhaps it's the fact that people don't go into flashgames to say something about the world. Or maybe it's just that flashgames do not occupy the same cultural space as movies or music - consumers just don't invest in them emotionally, and therefore don't really care when games go off the rails. The day Heat magazine has a flashgame scandal on page three is the day the industry really, truly goes mainstream. Until then, the best we can manage is a daft little interactive sex scene of real interest only to lonely boys and the men who worry about them. |
