Alright, so I have taken a second look at Second Life. After all, I did kinda judge the book...well you know the rest of it. Anyway, I am still not that impressed with it but it isn't as bad as I made it out to be at first. I know it's free, so don't start with that, but it still isn't all that.
Actually the class through which I heard about the game met in Second Life rather than the physical class room. I must say, it was a weird experience. Of course it was nothing like meeting in real life and discussing topics was a little difficult. However, our instructor did show us around and took us to some very interesting places. One of them being the Virginia Tech memorial (my sympathy to you and yours), which was honestly a very odd experience. Everywhere else we went I was flying around testing the game, but in here it was morbid and quiet, as if being compelled to show respect for the departed.
I have to admit, I have a new found respect for Second Life and maybe one day I will devote enough time to really appreciate the game, but in the end it's still just a game and have to attend to my first life for the time being.
Peace.
