<link>http://sirriamnicast.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=365643#</link>
<description><![CDATA[In this podcast I and my friend Marcy talk about sex and gaming:&nbsp; how to use it as a plot hook, in character interactions, whether or not rape is such a good plot device or justification for the motivations of a female character, flirting in and out of character, and the dreaded &quot;have you ever had sex in character&quot; question.&nbsp; <br/><br/>And, of course, there is a lot of giggling and silliness.&nbsp; <br/><br/>In the podcast we reference the following: <br/><a href="http://geekgirlsrule.wordpress.com/2008/01/09/the-geek-girl-what-rules%e2%80%99-greatest-hits-ggr-2-bad-male-gamer-archetypes/" target="_blank">Geek Girls Rule #2 - Bad Male Gamer Archetypes</a><br/>In fairness:&nbsp; <a href="http://geekgirlsrule.wordpress.com/2008/01/21/the-geek-girl-what-rules%e2%80%99-greatest-hits-ggr-3-bad-female-gamer-archetypes/">Geek Girls Rule #3 - Bad Female Gamer Archetypes</a><br/><a href="http://geekgirlsrule.wordpress.com/2007/09/05/finally/">Geek Girls Rule #19 - Playing the Opposite Gender</a><br/><a href="http://girl-wonder.org/girlsreadcomics/">Girls Read Comics at Girl-Wonder.org</a><br/><br/>I hope you enjoy it!<br/>]]></description>
