second life

Second Life is a three dimensional virtual world in which users control avatars that can socialize, collect items, share and learn, market products, and communicate with each other in a fantastical number of ways. Second Life is a product of Linden Lab which was founded in 1999 to be "a free online virtual world imagined and created by its Residents." There's no specific goal to playing Second Life, which allows participants to enter the virtual world with their own individualized goals and agenda. In that sense, Second Life can best be thought of as a social MMO (massively multiplayer online game).

Second Life has developed such an advanced virtual society that it has its own economic system, run on a currency called Linden Dollars. The demand for virtual services and goods within Second Life is such that people are willing to use real world money to purchase Linden Dollars.

I decided to play as a kid because my real-life childhood and teen years were not the best. I don’t really like to talk about it with people I don’t know very ...

  Grid Syndicate — Authority: 163
  As it does not happen very often, I thought I should blog it. Of course, it’s not just a guy, it’s my guy, but our second lives are so different that we seldom lay our pixels together. And when we do, I take snapshots to have a proof that we actually met! Besides that, I want to show you a sneak peek of a ...

This is kind of what I do already, ...

  Grid Syndicate — Authority: 163
  When I was younger and at school that saying was a little game, youd give your friends a little pinch then a gentle punch (unless you were one of the boys who wanted to look “hard”) and then say “Pinch, Punch, First Day of the Month” as a way of getting good luck. If you did it after 12pm though it was bad ...
