Because of Memorial Day, this week has sort of been a crazy blend of the last two weeks. This past weekend I graduated college, and became (wait for it) a real person. Can you tell that hasn’t sunk in yet? I also finished up at The Onion A. V. club, going out–at least temporarily–on a Spider-Man 3 kind of note. As for “Click Me,” last Friday’s column was a beginner’s guide to text-based cybersex. This week’s is a how-to on cybersex personas. Here at Heroine Sheik, we’ve checked out Odin Sphere and LoveChess and Sexy VideoGameLand. And outside of the world of gaming, it’s suddenly summer! At least, it feels like summer: the season for sitting outside and enjoying the sunshine… while shielding your DS so you can still see all the Pokemons.
