Machinima: Text 100 in Second Life

[yelton7]

its only fun to have dirty sex in that game, lmao

[gopher001]

sl is not for sex!

[jwiens10]

if your goin to do this then at least improve the graphics for pete sakes

[SplinterCell37]

Congratulations. If you type in "Youtube machinima" in the Firefox address bar, this comes up.

[SmiddySmails]

That's pretty cool, huh? Thanks for letting me know!

[lastwizards]

Companies are also sponsoring machinima contests in Second Life, like the Quest2ChangeRL [dot] com - an international online machinima festival

[netknight]

...Second Life? No thanks, I'd rather live out my first one instead.

[jperry205]

i'd love to play this game but i cant sign in!!!!!

[djgiga]

I want u to imagine a world where people go out (of there real house) and are not reclusive slackers that live at there parents house.

[gopher001]

get a clue people are not on it all the time also you can take your laptop outside with real people while you are on it and people have a big misconception about sl

[54spiritedwill54]

this is great for second life users!!!

[aahzdeen1]

very well put together , if I were a business i would be cntacting virtual 100 island

[faderklas]

The Sims online

[Tufty]

This is probably the most depressing thing I have ever seen.

[djgiga]

dito, I play games to escape responsibility not get more.

[voicetube]

Hello! Great video!!

I tried to teleport to the Text 100 island and it would not let me TP there... I do voice-overs and have a shop in SL I wanted to invite you guys to see:-( Well, just search Vox Humana and come on by to hear my voice demos ...on the walls! :-)

[medhue]

All the content is created by the people, so u start with a bad skin, hair, cloths, animation. U dont have 2 buy everything. There are literally thousands of freebie items 2 customize yourself. The best & worst part of SL is that it is always changing. There are updates regularly & occational problems arise. I personally love SL, work full time in it, & am having a great time making money, creating fun games, & socializing with people all over the world. If u need help, IM me in world.

[medhue]

Its a true virtual world that is created by residents, not by a gaming company. Linden Lab only controls the platform. Mostly a world 4 creative people but the social features are unrivaled. New users have a hard time navigating around & trying 2 find things in SL at first. There is a big learning curve 2 create content. Many non SLer's will diss the graphics, cause they never spent enough time in SL.

[leonvdbos]

luv SL

[manatyson]

yeah this one makes it look like crap butda real thing is awesome

[peapodfontaine]

Wow! It is great that instead of building a truly utopian world, Second Life is just importing our old tired failing Capitalist system into virtual space! This will be great when Capitalist greed and acculmulation finally destroys the last animals, water, plants and atmosphere of Earth! We can just Vanilla Sky our same boring lives into virtual space while our brains are connectively stored in "safe places" like Yucca Mountain! Good Times! Nothing feels as good as swimming in that virtual pool!

[cavalierpictures]

OK, so everything I have seen soo far for this second life is that it isa great place to advertis business crap.

[muziekfreak1980]

few more months been in there for a year now. I build, create armor, my wife (yes in sl and rl to) creates textures. Look crap or not you can make money. we do it for fun and some cash xtra im not rich. But maybe you should give it a FAIR chance. And xplore instead of like mose noobs do a for sex or b golddiggin..

[gopher001]

play first talk later get a clue dude its not a game and you can even start a business if you want

[bma852]

To get a second life, you need a real one first.

[aznmaplemaster]

GREAT COMMENT!

[Thrashtherater]

so true

[pearsp]

Excellent introduction to the amazing tool fo SL! I see SL as applicable as the Internet. It is a more interesting, rich, and human way to organize and interact with digital bits of data. And yes, it is infotainment as well. I believe we will look back at our current compute experience -- which is filled with flat text, photos and videos of someone else -- like we look back at black and white TV. Ghastly Dark Age.

Polly Pearson

VP EMC Employment Brand and Strategy

[SmiddySmails]

Thanks for your comments, Polly. It's definitely exciting to see how Second Life and other virtual worlds have evolved over the last year. There are so many opportunities to use these platforms for communication, education and collaboration. This is just the beginning...

[DJKuromi]

Join the cluster.....LOL

I have, and its not as a bad as what most people think! In fact, it's like the world's easiest MMO game!

(Meet up with me sometime! I'm known as Kuromi Arashi) XD

[Death2yuu]

Hehehe, scripters like me are needed to make the second world go round.

[kylieb17]

hi i have my own second life accounts my charaxtors are wolverine gymnast and riley cortes

[aklyon]

Been playing SL for almost two years. Hell yeah.

[navyseai]

i think its just amazing hard work from a new kind of society... the virtual public. It has so many ramifications, i just can think about 20 in the first look.

Second life is getting to the future

same goes to machinima

Keep working hard

[Metatronicus]

OMG, dont we have a tv for stupid commercials. You insult my intelligence.

[lochinvar00465]

It might me more useful if it didn't have such stringent hardware requirements. And they still don't support Vista yet! It should have been made to be compatible with most any system, it would be more popular if it was.

[thecallousdivine]

First, you complain that you need good hardware to run Second Life, then you complain that Second Life doesn't support Vista. I've got Second Life running on a system that's a good six years old. Not running well, but well enough to be useable. Vista is barely useable on a 3 GHz Pentium D with a 6000-series nVidia card. That's more than enough to run Second Life. Also, Vista support for Second Life was in beta about a month ago. It might be officially supported already.

[montanaholbrook16]

get a 1st life before you get a second life

[Bradibus]

It just doesn't work. People lose focus and forgot that Second Life will always be a game. People play SL for entertainment. People will not play SL for work. Any company that plans to have a presence in SL must remember that. Unless you market FUN, you aren't going to get anywhere.

[AfroJonez]

But if that happened, the people would be idiots for not making the parcel safe and RESTRICTED >_>.

[alex681219]

Who wants to live forever a material based life, the second clone the first, we have a real life inside us dreaming, tied 4 our psiqis.The big Q is who are working 4 waking up our real potencials? doyou whant a real power or a simulation? Yes second is a grat tool but how you use it makes the diference.

[gcasady2]

craziness. . .

[jordanthewizard]

so how long till we're actually in The Matrix? lol

[mollian]

We will never have what most people said we will have. Our imagination is far off from our tech we have today.

[jugggernautttt]

second life may soon enough become an only life for some... soon enough, second life could become too much like the real world where politics will dominate and wars will rage on. that i believe would be a factor of the downfall of real world civilization.

if anyone understands what i am trying to say, please feel free to share your opinions, good or bad, or try to add on to my thoughts. i am very curious

[Mekgineer]

Hmm, i have never played second life, but i have Read numerous articles about it. Something about creating Weapons? IF someone didn't like a company, wouldn't they create a weapon and simply destroy it? One article mentioned a flaming bicycle cannon someone made, I belive second life may colapse Upon itself, but i do not belive any real world conciquences would come from this program.

[Mousewrites]

Objects and buildings in Second Life can't be damaged by "weapons" unless they (the buildings) are specifically designed for that purpose. All you really have to worry about are "griefers," people who use every accountholder's ability to create objects as a tool for harassment, and they are easily dealt with just by banishing them from your site.

[PhilDBowl]

SL is totally customizable... so the person that owns the company can shut off the combat and weapons modes... you would need to try it to understand it! =)

[AustNaio]

Yes and no, if you own the land you can disable the abilities to " Build " objects, and disable scripts from being used, unless you have permission.

[luther59]

I believe second life is too ambitious and that the puplic is not ready for this kind of breakthrough into digital life. Its a shame it was such a good concept.

[harmonysong]

HOO

I see Nakama! :D

Yay for Nakama!

[scited]

I just don't get it. How is this better than regular web presence? What does SL do that you can't already do with a corporate website. Plus, you need someone to man an avatar all the time? Sure, it looks curious and perhaps even fun for a small demographic. But functional? I will believe it when I see some actual data rather than marketing points.

[mollian]

Well instead of pictures of a product you could show a 3D Fully functional product.

[Mousewrites]

This is an immersive 3D environment that allows data to be browsed in a more "physical" manner, a nice compromise for people who prefer handling a magazine to reading a web page, for example. Products can be modeled in three dimensions and scripted to actually display functionality. Don't think of this as a replacement for your 2D website, think of it as a supplement.

[Mousewrites]

And no, you don't need to have somebody constantly inworld. You can automate your site and receive notices in your email when somebody actually needs your attention.

[NinjaOfDeath80]

second life is rubbish, no-one plays this rubbish game

[Invisoguy]

that would be very convenient

[lavenderproductions]

I get what's in it for business, but, really, we get bombarded by advertising in real life enough to not want to have it follow us in our leisure time

[victorvance150]

this is great for second life users!!! companies will have things for resisdents to do extending the fun for everyone, because some people don't want to buy thier own land.

[perceival]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha h ah aha h a h a h a h a a ha hah ah ahah ah

[SecondlifeCasinos]

Great Second Life video! Well done :D

[max10wonderboy]

one day we will live in a compiuter! and leave for ever and then we can came back in our Biologic world with a clone of us..We can leave for ever..so when u die u transfer your memory and personality in the compiuter

[toaster99soke]

I hope not...

[friskysquirt]

Snow Crash is one of my favourite books ever, must read it again. I can certainly see a fair few similarities between the book and Second Life.

Very nice video and there is some pretty amazing artwork in the form of buildings on your island. *pops over for a closer look*

[fataslin]

SL is probably the most retarded thing I've bothered to read about.

[Ordetunez]

what a pathetic game

[SLStarfleet]

Hmm, great video, whats the first piece of music called?

[thaumata]

I think it's wonderful to see a rl PR firm establishing a presence in SL. There are so many companies showing up there now and it's certainly a new way to look to market your brand. I run a small real life company that is spread over 6-8 countries on any given day and I LOVE having meetings in SL, vs our usual method of a skype chatroom. It's much more personal and you can really set it up to do anything you want, if you know what you're doing. Nice video!

[rosariomarinetta]

Any SL fans come to Rosario (find it in map) for the Semano Semano 'Yourvision' festival. Parachuting, skydiving, treasure hunts, one of the first EVER radio stations, live TV and inworld streaming, rollerblading, archery, FREEBIES from Eurovision finalists, photo competitions and much more

[rosariomarinetta]

All of you creative folk I need some help.I am working on a big Eurovision project.During the week of the Eurovision Song Contest on the 'Dina Host City Channel'there will be video clips from all over Europe going out on air.We gather a collection of video clips from as many possible locations as we can these clips will then be shown on TV Station,in Helsinki City & will be streamed on the net via Second Life.interested?contact jenny_johnston20 at hotmaildotcom & cum to ROSARIO inworld

[reardensteelinc]

when I first heard of SL I thought it was the stupidest thing to do. Buying clothes for a virtual character? C'mon! But now that I'm in SL and I try to explain it to others they give me the same look like I'm from Jupiter. It's like the Matrix. A lot like it. You cannot be told what it is. You have to see it for yourself :)

[trigger2002]

Its too lagyy

[jjccccc]

second life is cool but it should be called lagg

[Millenwagon]

hahaha deffo

[Reagh]

I agree 100% ebayfan! Everyone likes something different, I personally enjoy SL, its a huge world with so much to do. Some people like it, some people don't. and Oddone, lol there are a lot of immature people in the adult SL too, they are everywhere you just have to run away! *runs with arms flailing*

[ohmahgord]

so you have your own island, are ya'll on the mature grid?

[Shippiddge]

This seems like it would be very hard to do, because during meetings and things, people would experience great lag and errors....

[MlKEG]

personally, i think this is an incredibly stupid idea. you spend real money buying stuff for your character in a virtual world. sounds a lot like habbo hotel with brand names

[ebayfan414]

So spending $15 a month to run around becoming a mage = stupid (WoW), spending $50 on the latest console game = stupid because you're wasting money on pixels, and spending $25 on you hobby is stupid because it's a waste of money. My point is, if you enjoy what you're doing, it's not waste of money. Spending a few dollars in SL can provide you with hours of entertainment.

[sqwert1995]

i have played this game once (on the starter island) and it was boring. But i heard car companies sell cars on the game, but cant you fly, so what is the point?

[Senjobu]

Great game so laggy

[oddone65]

i play teen second life cause im not old enough for the adult one...i hate teen second life, cause no one acts mature, and hardly anyone plays, it gets really lonely, and the teens that play it..well...they sorta suck at building LOL, cant wait till i can play the adult second life

[speedy1985]

you can just enter an adult age lol ...

[RaiseYourVoice777]

This game seems to have very unrealistic graphics, if you want something more realistic get HOME from playstation 3. besides LAG= me getting angry.

[gtochad]

home is very restricted compared to this though  and you arent limited to "rooms"

[fldz]

Think I'll wait for the holodeck version.

[gtochad]

on high graphics and veiw distances im not getting very imppresive frame rates ha i have a 7900gs its a combination of graphics intesity and lag mostly lag for me cause my graphics cards is good :P

[hecaeta]

And let me guess your still on dial-up.

[nsteiner10]

I love secondlife, however, I find it kinda sad that it is about to change as companies start moving in. in the past couple of months, all of the buzz around secondlife has been about the huge potential for companies to further their brands via secondlife and use the users as "lab rats"...hope it doesnt change too much!

[SpikeyMcTurtle]

I just downloaded this game

It looks revolutionary

But aklfjalksdfj it lags

The game goes to slow..

I dont know if this is my computer or the game

Because I heard this is a problem for a lot of people

Any comments or suggestions?!??

[whitireia]

Look for a location that is closer to home I guess - also the more people in the same location = more lag. A faster internet connection and good graphics card will go along ways aswell.

[thecallousdivine]

Have you tweaked your preferences? Tools > Preferences. I use an AMD Sempron 3000+, 1GB ram and an nVidia GeForce 6200 256MB ram. Disable voice, lower distance to 128 or 96m, reduce particles to 1024, set avatar composite to 0, lower your resolution if you have to, check your internet speed (I have 4Mbit cable), and play with lowering other settings to see what works best. You may want to join a forum for Second Life to find more ways. (Second Life website has one).

[AuntieLily]

i have second life

it rocks

it reminds me of the sims 2

[Hitamaru]

IS there anywhere in Second life where i can fight people with a god damn katana... with a 9mm in the other hand.If so tell me cause this game is dull trying to make friends with some abnormal people

[ArekuSilverwing]

I loved this game, sadly, I had to delete it since I always lagged. >_<

The only thing I hated about it was that you had to pay for it, fortunatley, for having another account? lol, just check that it's your first.

I know everyone knows that trick, but really, those people are really stupid for actually making you pay for another account. >_<

[annjones84]

yah mine too always lag, i counted, every time i log in, it takes abt 2 mins to load and oh lord when people starts talking to me, it jams up everything!! i def need a new graphic card...hehe

[SecondlifeCasinos]

Very nice smooth editing a great infomercial. Sexy voice over and hi rez footage. Quality counts!

[nubeals]

sexy voice? hehe. so the ceo of the company has a sexy voice! i gotta work for them then =D

[noceur]

One day this game will replace the world wide web which already is a featured item in this virtual world. It's obvious to me this will one day be how commerce is finally going to put a face and personality to all those web sites!! I LOVE THIS CONCEPT!!! IT ROCKS!!!

[Garnimoa]

Great game, so good to interact with your online friends and participate in many adventures together in a whole new dimension.

[DeadPieceOfPie]

ahhh.. you make this game look cooler than it is

[CKtheFat]

How dumb. Life is lived in person.

[Ozziefire]

Well GTF off the interenet and live it!

[Limpfittz]

it's a nice game

[Koenig1980]

Got Dot Com Crash v2.0?

[hecaeta]

You might not be to far off. At least as far as the real estate speculators. If the prices keep rising no one will be able to buy it. Just look at the current real life market in the US.

[Paulocamposak]

Second Life can be the future drug and everyone will be inside home, 'living' a second life - artificial, and forgeting the real life... no more real relations with friends, family...now, just you and the fantasy. MATRIX

[damoo]

yeah same can be said about books or films or anything else that someone else views as threatening.

[zariok]

The new "firstlook" client helps alot with graphical lag. I avg over 30fps now @ 1600x1200. I think it'll be the main release client within a week.

[bones222222222222222]

do NOT start playing this game. it's so dangerous I can't even describe: it will change you, us, the world. You can still stop it - now. Just do the research and you'll see what this game will do with you if you start it.

[SchwarzeWeltmacht]

it´s unstoppable. and i´m not saying this in favor for SL. "snow crash" pointed in the direction of where these technologies will be going and it´s already happening. it´s a little bit like being in the year 1904 saying "this new invention of the telephone is dangerous". Don´t be a Luddite. As in RL you will continue to be forced to make up your own mind and decisions. And as in RL there´ll be a lot of misled folk around...

[Anjohl]

The problem with the "game" is that it lacks one key part of real life: Laws and law enforcement. Thats why's "banks" can close down and take your money, and why people can renege on promises. Theres no legal means in-game to prevent fraud and dishonestly.

[zariok]

There is no need for a "bank" in SL.

People "renege" on promises all the time in RL, what's the difference?

[hecaeta]

Funny, I was taught that locks keep honest people honest and that a thief will find a way to steal.

[Scherfeder]

this game is boring

[amoeba526]

>.< i tried second life it was retarted the only thing i did was fly like a NERD >.< and then i fell and now im stuck in this building >.< my advice (Dont waste your time plsying it >.<

[brunaobr]

is it free?

[zariok]

Yes. General residents are free. You have to pay montly to have priviledge to own land and you have a 'tier' fee for all the land you own.

Other residents make products (clothing, buildings, vehicles) that you can purchase or you can make your own.

[markzoi]

Believe or Not this is just the beginning, Second Life will change our life in less then 10 years. One day will be look such as real dimension! playing it will be add-you!! like a drug! Most of the busieness company will go throught to sell real products and also virtual. Virtual market sounds ridicle right now to us later will not. Your childrens will probabily buy some virtual products for sure.

[peetred]

I know plenty of people making good money in SL. And the lag is only THAT bad when you have a cruddy computer, lol. And i don't ;-)

[darkshadowsofnight]

Get a better computer

[nemesisevil202]

In a hundred years time we'll all be connected to a perfect, virtual world forever and there will be no more real world which isn't perfect. Well the rate in which technology is gowing this will be likely to happen.

[OmnipotentTroll]

Too bad the lag makes it unplayable.

[lactosetheintolerent]

That's just great, and going right into that Power Point that shows just what SL can do. These guys have made a great promotion tool and their own market. Fantastic. My hat is off to you :-)

[W3sk3r]

Bullshit video. They make it look like a company thing, but really it's just fuckin kids using it as a chat service.

[ashleyshadows]

Actually a lot of money is made through Second Life..

[USMCR]

Wow, how ignorant you are.

[darkshadowsofnight]

You've never played have you??

[silpol]

you know, the only difference between kids and adults is price-and-size of their toys ;)

[OMGNOMOREUSERNAMES]

Sithci It doesn't, To get credits costs money, but creating an account and playing doesn't.

Well i downloaded the game, and started playing yesterday, it's pretty cool - i've met afew nice people there. I guess the whole Richard and Judy discussion about it will gain the game quite afew extra players.

If anyone wants to add me, My name is Peter Bamaisin

[sithci]

nice! the only bad thing with second life is tht it costs money=(

[darkshadowsofnight]

Costs no money at all

[fredit]

You two are legends. You watch Richard and Judy. Their brilliant. So corney and Richard always interupts- brilliant!

[OMGNOMOREUSERNAMES]

I saw people talking about this on Richard and Judy earlier today, i'm really considering joining Second Life, it seems pretty cool. I've yet to try it out, so once i do i'll come down to your island!

[Larmour]

OMG ME TOO!!!!1111

CHANNEL 4! :D:D:D

[al1aboutyou]

Yeah right, and then imagine in the middle of your meeting some moron with a new script to try out floods your virtual conference room with a few thousand virtual penises.

Sorry but the video is a SL fantasy that ignores the fact the most of the people on SL are bored idiots who enjoy screwing with others. The idea of a useful virtual environment is good but SL isn't it and never will be because Linden Labs already has the reputation of pandering to the idiots.

[tervojazz]

Each parcel of land can have its own access list, preventing additional unwanted guests from interfering. Also, object creation and scripts can be turned off or individualized to a specific group, preventing outsiders from griefing.

[jackosix]

Iv got this program and it will take ages to get my things as good as these ones have also i think it wont catch on with companies sorry

[samcal84]

It doesn't seem to be working here anymore. Is there another video hosting site that I can find it on. I'm planning on using it as part of a presentation on SL soon.

[SmiddySmails]

Works for me. Try clearning your cache.

[XioJester]

Tight.

[greaterIBM]

Great video!!

[gr8tbigtreehugger]

excellent production values. very forward thinking.

[Torley]

The camera panning in this was really nice -- how was that done? Cutting and narration are nice touches too. OMG is that Rez and Endira? Hehe, nice stuff.

[tinocappachino]

Wow, this is excellent.

[bassetdl]

Well done! Good video editing and awesome camera work.
