Almost against our better judgment, we have decided to add a Video and Game page. In the past we've made negative comments about video players causing web pages to hang, and we haven't changed our mind about that. We also consider movies and television manifestly inferior to books. But spanking videos are o.k., and can have great erotic appeal if done well (a big "if"). In fact we prefer modern spanking videos to most of the old movie and TV spankings we saw growing up, which to us are now more interesting as historical curiosities than anything else. There were a few that were highly charged, like the famous Wagon Train episode with Robert Horton and Susan Oliver, but most were sorely lacking in (spanking) technical proficiency and erotic appeal.

The subject of spanking video games came up in one of the forums. The consensus was that it should be possible to create one, although we weren't really sure how. At this time (March 2010), we're still working on the technical questions, but we hope to create one or more games this year. Having grown up in the pre-video game era, we've never done any PC gaming, and honestly it seems fairly pointless to us. Shoot up the alien invaders, or engage in mindless acts of mayhem, until your surrogate is dead and the game is over. "You play until you lose," as Harlan Ellison summarized it in an essay he wrote when video games were just beginning to take off. Maybe it's not as bad as that, but that's our impression.

But a spanking game - now that could be something different! Pick your implement, spank that bottom, see the effects, and after enough strokes are applied, the game comes to a happy conclusion with the spankee's complete surrender. That's our vision, anyway - we'll have to see if we can pull it off.

We're going to have to start with a very small amount of material: one original video (made up of old comic-book stills at that) and one link to our only YouTube playlist. We don't want to stockpile old video clips, since Chross has already done that (and quite well, too), and most YouTube spankings aren't worth bothering with, so we don't expect to create too many more playlists over there. We may decide to shoot some original videos, and clips from these, together with some new games, are what we hope to add here in the future. --Web-Ed, 03/19/2010
