GEEK: Tuesday Tasting: Grand Theft Auto, Guitars, And Gadget Girls

Each week, Ariel Waldman serves a tasting of the latest in sex and tech.

Rock Out With Your OhMiBod Cock Out

With a few cords and connections, you can now rock out to good vibrations. While techno remains an old standby for OhMiBod, the vibrator that responds to music, Jean at Notcot recently hooked up their humming companion to a Vox AmPlug and a guitar.

Sex Workers Against Grand Theft Auto

Not surprisingly, sex workers are speaking out against Grand Theft Auto for its violence against virtual prostitutes. Yesterday marked the fifth annual International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers, and with it came vocal outcries against the video game. Though violence is certainly aimed at every type of citizen within the game, it doesn't soften the blow for sex worker advocates. It is not yet known if future Grand Theft Autos will take this feedback into consideration.

Gadget Girls Will Heat Up Your Holidays

Never much of a story behind gadget girls. Just the run of the mill, hot girl on gadget action. i4u attempts to make some demand for a DVD player by shelling out photos of a scantily-clad Miss Santa. We heart geek girls, but the lovely Miss Santa model named Lundon loses major points for needing to pull out the manual.

I actually just sent off an OhMiBod to the girl..I'm..having sexual relations with.

Somehow that seems unlikely to me. Although the thought of indestructible hookers is intriguing...

Fuck, so do I.

They're not really that amazing. They only vibrate if there's a lot of bass in the music you're listening to, and the pattern is totally unpredictable/weak most of the time. Plus, it'll actually stop entirely for much of the song. Way to leave a girl high and dry!

Oh, and the cyberskin attachment? Prone to causing cancer.

I was thinking either a) exploding hookers that take your health down to one when you attack them or b) randomly placed undercover cops who slap you with two stars automatically if you hit them.

or maybe Grand Theft Auto: SLC? Boise? Fargo?

Now I suppose playing "Stairway to Heaven" will take on a whole new meaning.

Did that dude just say "to the girl iam having sexual relations with" Why not say to the girl iam fucking????

Wrong criticism. The problem with that sentence is you're not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition. Correct usage: "the girl <i>with whom I'm having sexual relations.</i>"

Heh.

I've heard the "killing virtual hookers" complaint before, and it's frankly preposterous. I don't kill San Andrean hookers out of spite, I kill them to get a refund plus whatever they were holding. And yes, this is with several million in the bank from the save/load horse track exploit. Okay, fuck you, I'm just a tightwad.

But you know what? I'm a tightwad with a clear dichotomy between San Andreas and the world in which I actually live, and I don't go around killing people, much less people I've just paid money to screw in a car (lowball estimate of zero). And they might have a legitimate complaint if "kill hookers" was a storyline mission. It is not. It it simply one of the many morally questionable things you can do in that open world. Just because the option is there doesn't mean that you have to start protesting the game.

This idea has possibilities:

I have said I wanted an ohmibod for quite a while now, but found another toy that rocked my socks off and I kind of forgot about it. However, I now want the ohmibod, the guitar attachment, and a sexy person who can play the guitar. Please, santa?

i think my freind sarah has something called the ivibe from annsummers.com and it plugs into her ipod for her music based personal vibrations
