OH GOD WHAT IS THIS STRANGE GAME ON THE INTERNET.

HOW WEIRD, YOU CREATE AN AVATAR AND YOU PAY MONEY TO DO THINGS.

WHAT A DISCONCERTING AND ALIEN CONCEPT. I MUST RETURN TO MY FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE TO BLOG ABOUT THIS ANOMALY.

...

...

SECOND LIFE? HOW ABOUT FIRST LIFE LOLOLOLOLOL

It must be nice being absolutely appalled and bewildered at things that are on the internet. Golly! I wonder if this person uses "finger quotes" in RL. They certainly seem like the type.

Now, I understand gaming to a certain degree. I myself have gotten quite sucked into the worlds of Mario and Myst in days past.

There, I wrote this:

You’ve been swarmed by Second Lifers!

Yes, I’m another one, and I just wanted to add another point of view. Really, what’s the difference between $20+ spent at the movies and $20+ spent online in one of these worlds or games? You don’t get anything physical from the experience, except maybe left over popcorn, and you have nothing but the memory of the story that you saw. In my opinion, virtual “goods” aren’t much different from things that charge you for the experience of something, except you get to “keep” it.

I’m a content creator in Second Life, and when I started building things it was really just for fun and to pay for making my avatar prettier. On a whole, I have put in about thirty USD into SL, and taken out a living wage. Second Life is an artistic medium for me, a chance for me to freely express myself without making a mess in my small apartment I share with my fiance. I hope to save up enough some day for a lovely wedding, and SL is allowing me to do that doing something I love. I could be waiting tables, working as a cashier, or being unappreciated by bosses and a gigantic corporation that gives me food pellets in exchange for my hamster hours. Yes, you’ll get people hemming and hawing over it being called a game, because games don’t tend to let you make your own content, make real money, and they have plots or stories or at least some sort of goal. The goal is whatever you want it to be. It’s been an opportunity for me to find direction on what I really might want to do, and it’s actually completely changed my career goals.

It really is a world, and whatever talents you have on you right now can get you far in it

When I step back and think what I've spent in SL... yeah, it is kinda italic font causing. And a lot of people spend more than I do.

Start a business. yeah, that's the ticket.

Don't you have a village of serfs whose backbreaking labor you exploit, the fruits of whose labors you expropriate and trade for greater wealth, and whose gullible enthrallment to your mythos you manipulate to keep them populating endless generations of like-minded slaves who, like their forefathers before them, serve your every command unto death?

If not, then what's the point of this game?
