GAMING

Ask any studly, sophisticated, intellectual, Ego-man about town for their specialist Mastermind subject and they’ll choose the same thing. Norkage. Boobitude. Good ol’ lustable lung-lamps. Unless they’re ass men, natch, which is an equally respectable and honorable lifestyle choice too.
But hey, that doesn’t mean we have to be monomaniacs; fixated on one thing like the dude from the Edgar Allan Poe story. Y’know, the one who became obsessed with Berenice’s teeth and removed them all with a chisel while she was still alive. Nobody wants to be that guy. There’s all kinds of other things we can be fans of. Like video games, for instance.
Still, it’s always great when a couple of the things we’re passionate about combine into one slice of greatness. If you’ve ever wanted to touch boobs while gaming, this one’s for you.
Frag Hero brings us the story of Kyle Duffield and Daniele Hopkins, two artists who have developed a special bra/PS1 controller. It has all the functions of a PlayStation pad and all the nork-cradling capacities of a bra. With this device in hand(s), they invited volunteers to play –what else— Dead or Alive by using or wearing their controller.
The point of this whole thing? To send a message about the treatment of women in video games. The report goes on, ‘Although the game is all about objectification of women, the duo insists the motivation behind the controllers were the exact opposite. They wanted to people to know what it feels like controlling real bodies rather than the on-screen over the top ones.’
Or, put another, more fancy-ass artsy way: ‘The artists use their own bodies to challenge exaggerated representations of the human body in the fighting game. The audience is confronted with the challenge of having to compete with one another in the game by manipulating the controllers worn by the artists.’
In short, wearing a PlayStation controller over your tits is ‘art.’ All those girl gamers online posing for shots with games consoles over their cooches will be thrilled to hear it.
