Second Life
 

I've been reading about Second Life for a few weeks. It's basically a way of having the life that you want - the fantasy life.

Anyone on here a member?

Re: Second Life
 

I'll give it a miss if it's asking for credit card details but I do have a question...

Why would anyone want a second life?

This life is difficult enough and although your second life is virtual and allows you to do all of the things you really want to do, shouldn't we be concentrating on what we want to do in our real lives???:confused:

The way that I see it is that life is what you make of it. Nobody else is responsible for our happiness, we are responsible for our own and how we cope with the ups and downs of life.

I like my life and have had a few ups and downs but I have always bounced back from the downs as a stronger person. I think I'll give the option of a second life a miss and concentrate on the life I have now. It may not be perfect but it's real and it's mine..:D

Re: Second Life
 

I read it too.

Sounds a right load of old tripe.

Why bother, when you can be whoever you want to be on the virtual life that is Accy Web?:D

Re: Second Life
 

I think I will just concentrate on getting my life virutally right rather than trying a virtual one!!! get my drift :rolleyes: :D

Re: Second Life
 

I was interested enough to sign up a few weeks ago. You dont need a credit card to sign up for the free account to see what its like (although im not sure if I added my paypal account when I signed up as identification, either way you are not charged unless you buy ingame money.)

I really havnt ventured far enough to see what its like, the Linux client is.. buggy to say the least.

Have you tried signing up without a card? Im sure it says you can add one later you just dont get the bonus amount of ingame money?

Re: Second Life
 

Re: Second Life
 

They have about 1.25million people signed up and after the huge articles I've read about it in lately I'm sure it will increase. Haven't joined myself - I only just have enough time for this life, can't find time for another one.

Re: Second Life
 

I haven’t finished with my first life yet so I’m not interested in a second one, virtual at that.

In any case I can have a second life in my head if I want to. At least in my ‘head’ life not only do I have control of the life that I would lead, I could also control those that share it.

But it is always useful to read about these strange sites, so thanks Gayle.

Re: Second Life
 

Its a game not a forum?? :S

Re: Second Life
 

This is the article about it I read in yesterday's Observer.

I read it, and came to the conclusion that I'm not quite as sad as I thought.:D

Re: Second Life
 

Oh dear....

Re: Second Life
 

Well it looks fun to me, if I could run the programme I'd be joining it (don't ask :( my pc is a dinosaur!) It just looks like an online Sims type game. Any fan of Sims like me would probably love it. Get my pc sorted and I'l be a second life saddo no probs! :D

Re: Second Life
 

It sounds like it could get very expensive.

:confused:

Re: Second Life
 

There used to be the option were you could buy a virtual bikini/swimming shorts in the Accy Web chatroom jacuzzi, not many people bothered though.;)

Tinks did use her virtual dosh to but some shatter proof glasses though, which came in handy, and saved people from getting virtual cuts.:D

Re: Second Life
 

We did have one shy gentleman that insisted on wearing a red rubber thong if I remember correctly ;) :D

Re: Second Life
 

PMSL I forgot that.:p

I hope he didn't spend too many virtual dollars on it, as it was the wrong size.

Infact it looked more like it was meant for a lady, or to cut cheese.:D

Re: Second Life
 

Just to revive this read, I have taken up Second Life again today and it is really quite fun.

I have spent no money and yet acquired a nice suit, (and a ladies ball gown which I gave to my friend) along with a nice pair of earrings for her.

Had a nice dance in a lovely ballroom, which included lots of music too! Quite fun.

Re: Second Life
 

Tonight I was just catching up with the Sunday Times magazine from last week, and it had an indepth article about SL.

People are making money from virtual businesses that are trading in Second Life. Totally weird.

I might join up, and start and edit a fashion magazine.

'The Rindy Wears Prada.'

If I don't come back, it's been your pleasure knowing me in this reality.

Tat-a.:D

Re: Second Life
 

People sell a lot of fashion which they have designed in photoshop and things.

There is a woman from China (I think) who has made over 1million $ buying and selling property on Second Life!

Re: Second Life
 

Yeah I read that. Virtual estate agents, how boring must they be.

I don't think the long term investment of a SL property will be that great though.:D

Re: Second Life
 

well it takes allsorts.:rofl38:

Re: Second Life
 

This is a line from a verse kindly sent by Lancsyorksyankee (Brian) called 'you are the keeper', quote- "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it." so stop worrying about 'virtual' life and enjoy reality.

Re: Second Life
 

...he said, on a virtual forum, as his words disappeared into the Ether for all eternity.:D

Re: Second Life
 

I think eveyone else has disappeared into eternity it's dead on here garinda.

Re: Second Life
 

They're all on here.:D

Re: Second Life
 

Im at a casino :p

Re: Second Life
 

I'm going to the Club for a pint garinda, before you drive 'me' round the virtual twist ta ta.:D

Re: Second Life
 

You might meet be able to buy a virtual stranger a drink.

Have fun.:p

Re: Second Life
 

Well I did it :D ..... and as Cyfr said it's really quite fun!

To the doubting Thomas's that said it was a rip off, your VERY wrong you don't need to part with any real money to enjoy second life. Just keep clicking skip this bit at the money bits when registering.

As I said earlier a fan of Sims will love it.

The only problem I've encountered is the reliability with it but I have realise how masssive this programme actually is. You could quite easily play this game for a year and not see the same place twice.

The possibilities for fun when your bored are endless! I'm no good at building and scripting programmes (too techie for me although there are tutorial courses in second life) so I just spend my time shopping and clubbing

I'M A SECOND LIFE SADDO AND I LOVE IT!!!:D

Re: Second Life
 

Im a second life wannabe but need a navidia that isnt in my laptop:(

Re: Second Life
 

I know! :(

That's another problem, the system requirements are quite specific ..... 2/3 people I have recommended it to can't run it :(

Slinky manages to run it ... we gatecrashed a sex club the other night! We kept our avatars virginal but left lots of embarrassed male avatars in our path!! .... :rofl38:

Re: Second Life
 

well no wonder with showing your jugs on there if u had pipples you would take their eyes out :rofl38:

Re: Second Life
 

Have you virtually got your cherry back?:D

Re: Second Life
 

I do the dressing in private! :eek:

........ I've hmm :o rescaled them!! .. :rofl38:

Re: Second Life
 

Yeah :rofl38: It cost me L$5,000 :D

Re: Second Life
 

From a jordon to a sam fox eh:rolleyes: :D :rofl38:

Re: Second Life
 

Tinks Iv'e been given a second life 3 times now, I will peruse the site, but I have had and am still having great entertainment on accyweb, why dont you tell gondola the scourge of General Chat, about the site as he/she seems to need a second life.:D Regards Ian.
PS, where's the sex club? My software is well up to date.:D

Re: Second Life
 

:rofl38: omg ...ianto.... you didnt install viagra did u :eek: :rofl38:

Re: Second Life
 

OH !! Come on Ian even secondlife are choosy who they let in! :D

Re: Second Life
 

My 'phisician' yes I had to look the word up:D, informed me that if I could find anyone who could 'update' my software to divorce the present incumbent wife and marry them, My present wife aggreed,.:D

Re: Second Life
 

This game is FANTASTIC.......

I can go from bondage rooms to shopping to dancing in a Night club any time I want hehehe

Re: Second Life
 

shut up you.....I CANT get it :(

Re: Second Life
 

Oh what a pitty..... it's the best game I have seen for a long time. Me and Tinks had a hilarious night tother night on there. :D:D

Re: Second Life
 

LOL! .... and at least you've got some knickers on now slink :D

Re: Second Life
 

Seems like 2nd life is for a selective few:(

Re: Second Life
 

i dont wanna know about the knickers bit

Re: Second Life
 

What we need is someone from accyweb who's good at working with programme scripts to build an accyweb bar on SL!! :D

Re: Second Life
 

How about SL incorporating use of wider graphics card :rolleyes:

Re: Second Life
 

Thats true compared to the small number that are compatible

nVidia GeForce FX 5600, GeForce 6600, or better
OR ATI Radeon 9600, X600, or better


the list that aren't is quite comprehensive :rolleyes:

• nVidia cards that report as a RIVA TNT or TNT2
• ATI cards that report as RAGE or RAGE PRO
• ATI cards that report as RADEON 320M, 340M, 345M, or similar model numbers
• Intel
• Intel Extreme
• 3DFX
• RIVA
• TNT
• SiS
• S3
• S3TC
• Savage
• Twister
• Rage
• Kyro
• MILENNIA
• most cards by MATROX

Re: Second Life
 

It just needs one that can actually generate 3D without sharing memory, eg a proper graphics card and not one thats 10years old :p

Some of the ones it works on im sure are like £20/£30 which is very inexpensive for a graphics card, and quite frankly I dunno how people run games with anything lower!!

Re: Second Life
 

So my S3 is 10years old :eek: but the laptop is 12mnths or so old:confused: proper my arse more like finickety:(

Re: Second Life
 

S3 are crappy graphics cards, but on the bright side they're good for things like laptops because people dont need good graphics in laptops since they most likely wont be using them for games :p

Re: Second Life
 

How you getting on in SL Cyfr? Do you still go on? Have you built anything? Got to grips with the scripting and stuff?

Re: Second Life
 

Ooo-eeerrrrr entwisi's lovechild pmsl!!!!! Im quite whippy on a laptop touchpad i have u know:p mind u could be worse my other pc has intel on board graphics :eek:, so i think its not that crappy:D

Re: Second Life
 

I did start learning scripting at one point but I kind of lost interest because at the time I was having connection problems to second life which meant it took *forever* for things to load.

Re: Second Life
 

It happens to the best then LOL!!!!!:p:D

Re: Second Life
 

That's one of the main problems isn't it, it can be quite laggy.

Re: Second Life
 

My name is Shrouded Vale

If you want to add me as a friend or something.

Re: Second Life
 

Will do. Mines Tinkerbelle Taurog :D

Re: Second Life
 

I got some pipples!! :flasher8:

You'll have to come round and have a look at my new boobs :D .... :rofl38:

Re: Second Life
 

I hope you're not going around forcing people to admire your new boobs, you could find yourself banged up in the real world.:D

Re: Second Life
 

OMG that is sad ............ although I did once get my hands tied together in a orgy room and had to take my top off to get un tied ( much to the amusement of Tinks ):D

Re: Second Life
 

......... :rofl38:



As for the report ... what can I say WHAT A LOAD OF CROCK! :mad:

It's a game with a log off button for anyone getting harassed. Anyone sad enough to try to pursue a court case over another in a game should be banned from a computer for life. :rolleyes:

There really are some idiots out there ..... granted, most of them hang out on SL with me :D

Re: Second Life
 

It does seem daft that they are considering prosecuting people for their virtual actions, in what when all is said and done is a game, with an off button as Tinks said.

Perhaps people that play compter driving games will in future be done for dangerous driving, or speeding.:eek: :D

Re: Second Life
 

I couldn't have put it better myself Rindy:D
