Does anyone play Second Life?

RiseAgainst · 26th September 2006, 09:09 AM

ive not, the whole idea of it kinda freaks me out a little.

It's amazing what you can do in it. I've not played it but going on what I've heard it is blurring the boundaries between real life and online social networking. I like the fact that it's almost entirely customisable and you are pretty much free to do what you want. I might check it out just out of interest. We could have a UGS island...

it was the fact (from what has been told to me) that its like a 3D MySpace mixed with the Sims just kinda wierded me out!

could be a totally brilliant game tho!

its just a chat room with avatars, they had them before on the web before people started inventing massive amounts of money that non-low income generating companies were making. But hey this isnt the web its the web 2.0!!
