Second Life

I watched a doco on this recently & had to check out the site. Just through curiosity.
For those of you who do not know, its a virtual new life.

The ammount of peeps who have left their real partners for their virtual ones is staggering. You can get married, have kids & everything.

Bloody weird Numnuts.

So anyhoo, I signed up. Got to choose what I look like. I must say I am stunning. My boobs. (POW) my arse (BOOM). How disapointed do you reckon my virtual husband will be when he leaves his wife for me?

Anyone see the doco or the site.
It is crazy. Not staying & playing there though. It coulkd be dangerous.
This time next year I could be living with some weirdo in legoland!

Also made me think of a good topic.
If you had a chance at a second life, for real. How would you use that?

Mostly I'd just masturbate still.

Hello - welcome to my ego,
Wherever I go, he goes.
Ain't it just so creepy, freaky-deaky?
Oh no - now we're out of control,
Acting like an arsehole,
Welcome to the show!

Ahem. Sorry.

Yeah, I saw that documentary. Really didn't want to, but couldn't turn away once it was on. I really don't "get" computer games at all (apart from Pong, Tetris, and Solitaire, obviously), and the show really solidified in my mind the mentalness of this kind of thing. I don't understand the attraction? :-/

Neither do I.

That poor husband who had to do everything because his wife was on the site all the time.

My man said he could relate to him. (BSG)

It's like Red Dwarf, Better Than Life.

When VR becomes ultra realistic, and you have a choice of living in the real world with all its worries, dullness, bills, wankers etc or living in a world where you can get anything you want at the click of your fingers, there would be noone left walking about.

Even this forum is a virtual meeting place let's not forget, and many of us are here practically all the time.

That's just because I'm socially inept.

I'm not inept, I just don't see the point.

Very true.

As yet though I have not married any of you. Although I have turned down 608 proposals from Dave.

I tried to log on but it didn't like my Mac so I didn't bother.
I think I saw the same documentry as you guys. Was it the one were the guy and his wife were both on Second Life, she died and he had to raise a family playing second life?
Anyways I hate those types of games like Warcraft, Heroes and stuff. I like strategy games like Civilizations, first person shooters (Halo and Battlefield), and games where I can move about like my Wii games such as Tenis, golf and boxing.
I have yet to try rock games like "Guitar Hero" and "Rockband" but I think I might like those games.

I told him to make his million first. Then disable himself from the nose down.

No, this is one where some guy had moved half way across the US to be with this woman he'd met (don't remember where), and had even adopted her children as his own. She then discovered Second Life and started using it more and more, until she was doing nothing else. Met someone on there, a guy from London, and came to meet him. They didn't hit it off, so she went back to the US (Arizona, I think), and no idea what happened from there 'cos that's where it ended.

Second life is good, you can fly, how cool is that. Don't play Third life though its full of starving Africans, very depressing.

Do you walk past said Africans eating?
Saying "Yummy yummy bubble gummy" really f**koff loud?
