A Second Life

Not being one to follow crowds I decided to try out Second Life to see what all the buzz / hype was about. After a gruelling long tutorial I finally enter the actual “game”. It’s not a game in the classic sense but a huge virtual community where just about anything virtual is possible.

When you enter Second Life you don’t have a dime on your hands but there are many ways to get Linden dollars which is the currency used in Second Life. One way of earning some green is by standing on a stupid little pad in some party like area for ten minutes or so and dance. That’ll give you a few bucks. The dancing happens automatically so you can just kick back an watch your avatar groove.

Obviously this technique requires sadomasochistic tendencies to endure for more than two minutes. This has to be the loser thing to do.

It so happens that prostitution is a well established trade in Second Life. Who’d have thought it? So tomorrow or sometime soon I’ll see if I can vamp myself into some nice little hoochie whore from hell and suck some Linden green from unsuspecting Jack the Ripper wannabes.

As you can tell I’m struggling to find myself in this game.
