Second Life

Has anyone heard of Second Life? It's like a virtual reality. I heard about it on tv last night and thought it sounded pretty cool. It literally is a second life! You can make yourself look any way you want and even have a real life career on this site. If you don't like your life, this is science fiction - make your life. I joined but can't run the software required.

Yep! I have. Much reality

I can't believe I hadn't heard of it sooner! I love changing my look. I don't usually change too much, but I'd get rid of my glasses, have a really cool hair style... and maybe make me a bit taller....

i've heard about it and watched a short do***entry involving the creator i think.

It looks like a more modern version of -World chats-, i was sooo addicted to that when I was in highschool lol.

It's like a world you can pretty much control - it would be addictive

These virtual reality games are the only video games I play.

I'm too busy with my first life to do Second Life, although it sounds cool!

They made us use this for an experiment at school. I wasn't very good at it cos I was just like ohh it's just a game nothing bad can happen so I just ran around everywhere and changed my hair loads and then I was like oh, you have to actually get jobs and stuff? I didn't know that!

lol I only do those kinds of games for changing my look. Once I get a computer that can run the software, I might see exactly how those jobs things works.

So is it like the Sims or something?

I think it is kind of similar to the sims, except it's over the internet, so you can meet and marry other 'second life' characters.

There have been a lot of stories of people who have applied for divorce after finding out their partner has a wife or a husband on second life.

I don't think I'd want to get involved in it!

My Dell Inspiron 1150 is not able to run Second Life software. Darn!

LMAO @ you Katie. Oh man that would be something I'd do.

My friend got really into Second Life a couple years ago. I never saw her during that time. She's gotten away from it a little bit now, actually going out and socializing again. It sounds like fun, but I think it's pretty addictive. Just be careful that it doesn't take over your whole life!

I already have two lives.. I don't think I could handle a third one!! Lol.

I've heard TONS of stories about this second life thing ruining relationships because of how intimate you can get with other players on this game. I'm against it personally, I don't need a second life or a second 'boyfriend' for that matter. I don't really understand it to be honest.

Absolutely true.

I don't think I'd ever get 'involved' with anyone online, that just sounds wrong. I just like the whole imagination side you can put into it.
