shows how out of it i am of late... didnt even know what "second life" was until i read something about it the other day and was curious enough to click on the link (to the site)

never understood the fascination with these "games", to be perfectly honest.... but i guess i'm in the minority. heh.
yeah, i was sure today would be something about Mix06 around here Wink
That's what I love about SL is that it evolves... Now I gotta go install Hay bales for Laura's hoedown. Wink Ping me in world, I'm Spin Martin. And don't forget to pick up a free t-shirt and some other schwag for your avatar.
If anybody sees a dork who doesn't know what he's doing named Codi Ng, that's me!  Tongue Out
Geeez where on earth could I have time to do a 2nd life. I'm short about 8 hours every day to do what i want to do in my current life. Well I never will be a girl then in my second life. To bad but maybe to good to be true.
I admire the creativity behind the whole setup and the great possibilities the user are given. I hope they have better politicians there. And what about cops, crime, sex and drugs and alcohol. hmmmmm.... Maybe I need a second life after-all. Now I think about it, it could double the fun.

I "was a resident" (dont say played!) for a while last year.  I hear it's soooo much bigger now.  I still login to the SL webpage occassionally to see if anyone on my friends list is online at the moment and there are a LOT of people that have been residents for years. 

I even (almost accidentally) made a couple of hundred REAL US dollars with some land that I purchased in a new expansion and sat on for a while trying to dream up something to do with it.  Then I sold it and made a ton of Lindens.

The in-game tools and scripting was surprisingly powerful.

If you are curious, I'd highly recommend you check it out.

A link to this cast has been added to the SL forums, so beware of traffic! Wink
Yeah, I'm right there with ya.  I had no clue about "second life" till i saw something about it on Scobles blog the other week!

Sounds kinda cool, but i have never been able to really enjoy those kinds of games, I'll still check it out....sometime.
