that is my predator avatar, but then I am epredator almost everywhere online (vepredator here: ))

In Second Life I am epredator potato, once of my standard looks is that. Helps people to question identity

[goblue237]

but why would you play this game... is it for werid people who hate their lives?

[vepredator]

If you could watch basketball in a photo realistic way but from any angle with a crowd of people present would that not be better than just a tv feed? It is of course never going to be better than being there in real life, but TV is not the absoulute best way IMHO

Virtual worlds are not about isolation but connecting people who are not able to be in the same place at the same time.

the graphics suck

[vepredator]

they do compared to high end games, but.... its things that can change in real time and anyone can build, (and its 2 years old now)

The gfx will improve in virtual worlds like this, just as the web has improved. The really important part now is the people, people connect immersed in content

[goblue237]

this looks so stupid wtf is second life

[vepredator]

its a virtual world, 3d interaction over the web, not specifically a game and part of a massive change in the industry.

Of course you could just google it :-)

I'm a total newbie to second life and when I tried to play it yesterday, the game was a bit too laggy, walking seemed too robotic and the surroundings took pretty long to appear (8mbit conn)
