Village Voice Gets Cybersex-y With Heroine Sheik

- Ah, here's a note from freelance game writer Bonnie Ruberg, who wrote the Koster/Hocking interviews that just ran on Gamasutra: "Just wanted to send you a friendly heads up about a new column I started last week with The Village Voice which I thought you might tickle your fancy. It's called "Click Me," and it's all about cybersex, with an emphasis on sex in virtual worlds."

She continues: "The first piece is just an introduction (with some amusingly unsexy girl-on-girl tidbits), but there will be sex stories, Q&A's, even cybersex how-to guides. The Voice also bought up my blog, Heroine Sheik, so I'm going to be posting about games and sex and culture every day now." Having seen the formidable amount of referrers Gamasutra gets from the IGDA's Sex In Games weblog, I'm not surprised that the Village Voice has hopped on this particular train.

And indeed there is much new posting on Heroine Sheik, with a recent blog post discussing Dan Savage's advice on whether 'cheating in Second Life' is really cheating - to which a comment by 'Moo' is likely the most existential ever posted on a sex-related blog post: "We are our own interpreters of the world. It’s not about being “right” or “wrong”. Things simply *are*." Blimey, now we feel all zen.
