Biko Series

[Destini Armstrong]

Biko3 is a 3D stalking/sex simulator computer game released only in Japan on January 30, 2004. The game features an improved engine which the texture of the characters are modeled to be realistic. The game is centered on a male character, who stalks five different women. Although it includes inappropriate content, this game only received minor controversy compared with Illusion Soft's Rapelay.

The player chooses one of the five episodes and is given background information on the situations and the character, as well as the thoughts from the protagonist's point of view. After the opening scene the player stealthy stalks the character though a series of 3D neighbourhoods.

The player can interact with the surrounding objects by hiding inside rubbish bins, hiding down manholes, and jumping over walls to remove himself from the view of the victims. Certain elements such as cans, dogs, and crows makes a noise when the player approaches which alerts the female character of the player's presence. If the player is seen, the game is over. Running past police officers and being hit by cars also ends the game.

Towards the end of the episode, "The Love or Rape" scenes can be unlocked if the play picked up "Good", "Evil" or special 'H' items throughout the environment. Some items are obvious and cannot be missed, but others are hidden and are away from the route the female character is taking. Different sex positions are available for each scene and depending on the hidden items the player picks up, different situations (positions?) are unlocked.

The interface of the Biko 3 sex scenes are similar to the other Illusion games, which uses the click and drag of the boxes, but sometimes are required to move the mouse more than to one box to another. This can be identified by colour of the boxes and the dotted line between them.

Another notable feature in Biko 3 is the thoughts of the female characters. While in the sex scenes the female character sometimes shows her thoughts of what is happening. This is presented by a separate pop-up which is a close up view of that character face and a voice is heard. These thoughts can be either of desperation and wanting to escape in the Rape scenes, or of nervousness and comfort from the gentle Love ending. The animation of these thoughts can be disabled via the options menu.

One of the youngest and most cheerful characters, she has a temporary job at a fictional restaurant called Bell Bottom. The protagonist seems to be familiar with her, as he orders 'the usual' upon visiting her in the opening scene.

Stopforth is especially noted for an important series of drawings based on the death of the Black Consciousness leader Steve Biko. The drawings remain an enduring testimony to the overt and covert legacies of apartheid-era interrogation and torture, and to the innumerable deaths in detention and through assassination that so characterized the Apartheid regime.1

All the drawings are done in a mixture of graphite and acrylic. Stopforth describes them as "an attempt to place [the series] in the context of Western art history - a South African 'saint', martyr and hero."

I grew up in a war-torn country. At the age of 11 I endured days and nights in shelters while my homeland and my hometown were bombed. And could never wish such devastation on anyone.

There are more and more active conflicts in the entire world. Each one is different. Each one is heartbreaking. I wish all of them to stop and principles of love to prevail.

Today, a targeted campaign has been unleashed against me, seemingly as an external maneuver to influence decisions that can create a disturbing precedent shadowing the essence of artistic freedom. The result of such a narrative is the triumph of absurdity and the defeat of art.

I was honored to be chosen to be a part of White Lotus, a TV series that I hold in high regard and with colleagues whom I deeply respect. However, my participation is not possible due to reasons beyond the realm of art and I will not bow to any narrative that seeks to compromise my integrity.

I would like to thank everyone who stood by me. I wish my colleagues great success in creating the next season.

Regardless of everything, I strongly believe that art can heal. I believe it can help humanity unite. My beliefs and my dedication to art will remain unchanged.

Biko Daitokuji (B-ko) is the primary antagonist of the anime film and OVA series, Project A-ko. She is a rich, spoilt high school student who possesses an uncanny talent for designing and building robots.

B-ko is the sole heiress to the Daitokuji Financial Group, a powerful organization that supplies advanced robotic weapons systems to the Global Defence Force. As a pre-schooler, B-ko was a spoilt bully (Some things never change...) who would often pick on the cheerful Shiiko Kotobuki (C-ko), only to be beaten up in retaliation by C-ko's best friend and protector Eiko Megami (A-ko). One day, she challenged A-ko to a fight to the finish, but A-ko moved house on that same day and so the fight never took place. The sworn rivals would not meet again until 10 years later when A-ko, B-ko and C-ko all attended Graviton High School together. Upon meeting C-ko, B-ko was smitten and tried to befriend her... by threatening A-ko. With their old enmity rekindled, B-ko and A-ko would repeatedly fight it out at school, with B-ko either donning her personal combat suit or unleashing a new robot upon A-ko. B-ko even has her own group of lackeys who she employs to spy on A-ko and C-ko, as well as pilot some of the mecha she builds.

In many of her fights against A-ko, B-ko has worn an advanced (and highly revealing) battlesuit that increases her strength and speed to match A-ko's. As well as this, it is equipped with a small jet pack for flight, a super-strong lasso and wrist-mounted Atachiyama missile launchers that can fire explosive projectiles either in three-round volleys or even be switched to rapid fire. The suit is the most effective weapon in B-ko's arsenal since her fights with A-ko tend to end with a stalemate, while her robots are all destroyed rather quickly.

I have brand new recipes I will be posting on the blog in the coming days, such as mini special sapin sapin, ube flan, everlasting, taisan, fruitcake, and many more! Make sure to check the blog daily and find something delicious to make for the holidays.

To kick off this year's series is the creamy and delicious buko salad from yesterday. There's no better dish to start our list, right? Because what is a Filipino Christmas without this Filipino fruit salad?

Like our sinukmani recipe, this biko with ube involves a three-step process. It's pretty straightforward to make, but it does require a bit of time and elbow grease to cook to the right consistency, which is thick and chewy.

If you've already seen the Biko Wright Signature Survival Card but your curious to learn more about this incredible individual, then look no further and learn more about why Grim Workshop worked with Biko to create the Biko Wright Signature Survival Card.

Biko Wright of Otis, Oregon is a very unique soul. Biko is not only an expert outdoorsman and survivalist, but also an accomplished musician, singer, and runner up on season 8 of history channels Alone series.

Biko grew up in a family of nature lovers, and survivalists, so from childhood he was emersed into the outdoors learning to live off the land, and using basic survival skills regularly, something many don't learn until much later in life like hunting, spearfishing, and many other skills.

Bikos skills were passed down to him primarily from his father, a Los Angelas sheriff's seargeant and Marine veteran, who learned his skills from his father as a child in Fiji, so many of Bikos skills come from several generations of knowledge passed down.

Biko Wrights other passion, music, is also far back in his bloodline. Bikos grandparents are blues musicians in New Orleans and he formed his first band at the age of 9, going on to be the lead singer of one of the top LA area local metal bands Sirion, and is currently part of the folk band Endelos in Oregon.

When watching season 8 of alone Biko Wright quickly showed himself to be a very special individual bringing levity and joy to a very difficult and trying situation making him instantly a fan favorite (and a Grim Workshop favorite!) all who have watched him instantly want to see more of his adventures and see what's next to come for him. Be sure to follow Biko on his adventures on his social media pages and don't forget to check out the Biko Wright Signature Survival Card!
