I remember playing second life for a little bit, but I did it when they had casinos. I used the money that the game came with to play slots and other games at the online casinos. There was also a cool Slingo game. In the little while I played it was entertaining and I think I ended up with $10 real dollars in my account which I couldn’t withdraw. When they took away the casinos I stopped using it as an easy way to be entertained. Without games or something to do it was boring as all hell just walking around. The world was gigantic as well with tons of “stuff” As for the game itself, I could never figure out how to change clothes, how to build stuff, how to really do anything actually… it was really stupid. ---

The only thing about second life that pisses me off is that I haven’t gotten off my lazy ass to write some code and get a chunk of that 20 million for myself. Really, why would anyone care about what people do there. It’s not hurting you, hell, it’s not even a real place. If someone wants to pay thousands of dollars so they can build a virtual sex pit on the moon, have fun. At least it’s not in my neighborhood. 🙂 ---

At least it’s not in my neighborhood. 🙂 I don’t particularly care, but it’s hard to have a laissez-faire attitude about someone with a fetish for raping fur-clad children, even if they’re getting their jollies from doing so in a virtual world. Sure, to each their own. My own is to make fun of these cretins. ---

Srs questions: 1. Can you affect other people in 2nd life? like mug them or kill them? What happens when you kill them? 2. And, a programmer could write a real script that, let’s say gives someone a hat to wear? Can you sell it over and over again? And how would you go about selling the script? ---
