This is very cool: the story of KallfuNahuel Matador, the Green Lantern avatar who went from roleplaying as a superhero defending a virtual Darfur genocide awareness site in Second Life to helping with relief efforts in actual Africa, is a featured subject in "Can Video Games Save the World?", a Time Magazine article by Stephan Faris. I talked with Stephan for the story, because Faris first read about Mr. Matador in my post about him last year, but the seasoned reporter had already taken the time to log into SL and connect the Green Lantern Core member directly in-world. You can see the quality of that reportage in the substance of his writing -- especially in the final quote from KallfuNahuel.
