What does the image on Stupid Goth Girl's video game screen portend?
Is the whole story a game?
Is SGG playing a dating sim? Is she controlling Piro?
Is her existence in the story simply her own attempt to make the game more difficult, a greater challenge for herself?
Okay, that doesn't even make sense.
So why is Nanasawa in her video game?

Is that a game system?
I guess it has the little D-pad and a couple of buttons, but it looks far more like a camera of some kind (though flatter and oddly shaped). It even has lenses/flashes or something on the back of it, and the right side has a button that could act like a normal camera button (the left one is a switch, so I don't think it's a controller-based L/R button pairing).
Anyway, if it was a camera, goth girl would merely have evidence of an idol's breakdown, which would be pretty good cash or at least net-infamy. It would also show that she's keeping track of Piro and the gang, even if just for her own sick fascination with watching them.
I know that Fred's come up with some interesting ideas for Megatokyo, but he's also treating it like a drama/romance/etc manga-style story, putting in anything like a character playing the Megatokyo game would be, to say the least, odd.
Anyway, I just hope that it's a camera or something of the like. I don't want to have Megatokyo take a leap by bringing in some kind of insanity.
I was thinking maybe it was a camera...but it'd be more Japanese-schoolgirlish to have a cell phone camera, don't you think?
And yes, it is a drama/romance, but then there's Ping...and there's also comedy (or, as I like to call it, "comedy")...so he probably thinks there's room for weird too...
Maybe it's a video game system with a camera in it! Does anything like that exist?
That option seems so boring to me now, though. Like, oh, she's up to her same old tricks, and oh, look, there's some remorse (maybe). Yawn.
