  • Seems ;like way too many people want to critisize any1 trying to make a difference these days. I wonder if thats because every1 is so cynical and negative! Or just dumbasses. - (probably both)=

    TRUTH IS- Yea I guess you could call it a game, and the idea is kinda cheesy,-but so what!- Applications of this for education and possibly alot of other things it wasn't originaly created for = are WONDERFULL! THIS IS COOL! And you will probably just see more of S.L.. So open up and enjoy. PEACE.

  • I'll stick with pen and paper, human teacher and blackboard

see all

  • I've run into a few ppl. I was in iraq with, and also Alot of other vets, from my time and before...It's worth my time...

  • @Nokua if you notice the sim that they are on is supposed to model what it's like to have schizophrenia. the "you're worthless" is part of the auditory hallucinations a schizophrenic may have. no subliminal messages at all.

  • Here is my advice to the makers of this game, if you want to help us learn with this...thing, then take some Graphic Design classes PLEASE!

    I've seen better graphics put out by my N64! the images all looked waaay to blocky for me to pay attention to what they actually were.

    In short, if this thing is gonna ever be compared to WoW or FFXI or FFXIV then it really needs a major overhaul to it's Physics Engine, and Graphics Engine.

  • LOL you then can just cheat tho everything!

  • gotta really get back into second life for some reason I got IP banned, can anyone help me out please? I got a mac.

  • @edricknoel

    On the contrary, over a hundred colleges have a presence in SL and are hosting at least some of their classes. The US military also owns roughly twenty sims and is using them for training and education of personnel.

  • @Bobstew68

    Schools are on their own sims, generally PG sims where that kind of content is not permitted. Further, as of this writing, only 18+ are allowed on the grid at all, so this is currently a dominant tool for colleges, as opposed to public school children.

  • @BuggttiVeyronW16

    The 3D appearance IS better. That vid was done in 07, and I've noticed a lot of educators promoting SL solely for business-type purposes either don't bother or don't know how to make their avatars look very good. Even brand-new avs nowadays look better than that though :)
