My So Called Second Life

In Second Life everyone can see me beam!

Speaking of other virtual worlds/MMOs

Speaking of other virtual worlds, and particularly game based ones, here’s a video from JellyBean Madison. She tends to specialise in making SL dance videos and celebrating her SL life on her blog, but here she’s making a little foray into World Of Warcraft.

Also, here’s a trailer for the game Rappelz, thta me and Anna Zwiers are going to check out. It’s free, but I’ve read that it may cost money to teleport to different zones, and that weapons cost real money. We shall see!  Original YouTube page.

Then there’s this one that comes to mind.  FlyFF (Fly For Fun) looks interesting, just for the fact that it’s cute and involves solo or team based battling.  Original YouTube page.

And indeed, here’s a sci-fi MMO called Anarchy Online.  Here’s a video from a guy explaining how to choose your avatar on Anarchy Online.

A handddddbagggg!

If you don’t get the title, then you’re not familiar with Oscar Wilde’s play ‘The Importance of Being Earnest,’ which funnily enough I went to see again only in the last couple of weeks.  My best friend Anna Zwiers IM’d me while I was playing DarkLife this morning, and gave me a notecard for some 5L hair with a flower in it.  I got the hair and another 70L style that I like (in above pictures), and then Anna came over.  While we were chatting, someone hovered past in A HANDBAG AVATAR!  The woman in question was Volflo Writer, and clearly she must like to shop – having become a handbag and all.  I asked Anna if she had seen her, and we ended up chasing round the mall to go look at her.  Volflo kindly posed for us for a moment before going off to see a friend.

It was really nice to meet up with Anna, and we then went off to see Animania, a place with scripted, animated sculpty animals for your land, and another shop selling pets.  We were chatting about a friend who’s thinking of leaving SL and going on World of Warcraft instead, and then we got chatting about possible gaming based virtual worlds/Massively Multiplayer Online Games.  I am in no way contemplating leaving SL, as it is just a fabulous world.  However, we’re going to start checking out the likes of Rappelz and maybe World Of Warcraft.  I also fancy checking out other free MMOs, and I have a list here to look through.
