OK this comes from a person who has never played video games or has had any interest in video games whatsoever. I did not like Second Life, I can see why the obsession but as a newbie I didn't get to do much. I constantly got kicked out of " private places" and for some reason I always ran into sexual content.... I took a snapshot of one of the places. You can see the picture on my blog. I loved that I was able to change my appearance but other than that I did not meet too many people and did not get to interact with anything that much. All in all, I might give it another try but it is definitely something that I would not do on a regular basis.
Bottom line, why do we need second life. Do we need it when something is wrong with our first life? I have a hard time figuring out how interacting with animated strangers and attending virtual events can be considered fulfilling and valuable way of spending one's free time. I get that reality is harsh sometimes, but still if I wanted to live in a fantasy I would move to Puerto Rico... or Canada.
Just something to think about.
