people call second life a game
it isn't a game
obviously
its a second life.ironically
within second life
there is a game
called dark lifei'll never forget the day i was 'wandering' in second life and i encountered dark life
pay a few lindens to put a pack on your back (the HUD that gives you 'life')
and you are good to go
your second life character
role playing
dark life.there is final fantasy role playing too, i think
though i'm less clear on how much it is a game
and how much it is a role play
seemed that you needed to take up positions in the role play
time committment indeed
darklife is a fairly simplistic role playing game
the genius is a role playing game inside what is (incorrectly) perceived as a role playing gamesecond life is remarkable
a second life indeed
remember the day i met a guy in a bar
went back to his house
watched a video on his wide screen tv about brazil.remember the day i got a new dance move
went to the bar
listened to the live DJ (pretty darned good)
found some stylie jeans
brought a new skinphenomenal.
remember the day i looked round the university
learned how to rez shapes
build a house
make jewlery
design scripts (for movement of objects)the world is made of prims i told them
in the philosophy grouptried to look around a model of a hospital
(used for orientation of newbies)
access: denied
duke runs nursing distance learning on second life
oxford has a philosophy groupthat'll be me one day
playing something life
a role playing game within darklife
a role playing game within secondlife
which isn't a game at allhow to be partly in the present while partly being safe
as each layer becomes authentic (in a sense)
another layer of avoidance (in a sense) is requiredand that is one hell of a rant
but one day we will be smoking and drinking in a role playing game within darklife
a role playing game within secondlife
in a lounge in a house in a city in a country
which isn't a game at all.and of course we aren't quite sure why
