Second Life?

I had to google to figure out what y'all were talking about. Weird, Weird, Weird.

GC is as much of a 2nd Life as I need.

One of my professors mentioned Second Life about 6 months ago so I tried it. It's weird and I ended up closing my account after about 2 weeks.

People can get really addicted to it but, to me, it just seemed like an enormous set of elaborately decorated chat rooms where you can fly around.

The only part I liked was creating my "look." (You can look like just about anything.) It was fun for about 15 minutes. I did some scavenger hunts too and won some fake money....yawn.

Apparently you can "buy" or make things and sell them and if you have enough money you can buy property and design it anyway you want. I don't know. It just didn't grab me. I spent most of my time literally crashing into people, apologizing and then saying, "I'm sorry, I don't speak Portugese."


ETA: I think it mostly appeals to people who are into RPGs.

Yeah, I was wondering what kind of games there were like the one that was featured on an episode of Law & order. I signed up... but I couldn't figure the damn thing out, plus I think my computer was too slow for it anyway. Deleted it because I didn't get the point.

AF I agree, GC is more than I need! lol

Is this what was featured on CSI-NY? Like The Sims meets MySpace on acid?

I barely enough days in the week my first life, and adding a second one wouldn't help.

eekappa, i was just going to ask if this is like "the sims", except the player in the sim character. strange.
