A Rape in Cyberspace. For those of you who don't read the Voice*, this was originally published in 1993 with an all-black cover, save for that article's title set in white.
Reading it again, I fondly remember thinking it was so lame and also sweet that a hipster outfit like the Voice couldn't realize that, as cool as anything on the internet may be, talking about the internet is never cool. Surely the pukey, overwrought prose detailing events that no sane person could give a shit about would illustrate this very principle to a whole generation of decision-shaping internoobs and set the stage for the sun to rise on a bigger, cooler internet.
How right I was! But now these clownfags have somehow missed the point of that piece and interpreted as good. Not just good, but as a template for the salvation of print games journalism. My obvious prediction? Print games journalism will die, run ragged by the internet and finally impaled on its own cluelessness. And that will be a Rape in Cyberspace, indeed.
Ray!
* Sorry, but I've always wanted to type that. In truth, this is the one and only VV issue I've ever bought or read.
