Second Life is a online "game", as the name suggests you can create a "second life" online and interact with others in real time.

Bruce Willis had a Q&A on Second Life as well recently in connection with the Live Free or Die Hard movie.

dont bother. its retarded! its so boring and confusing on how to do stuff, and the only way you sell stuff is if you make something and i think thats pretty hard to do or something. overall, its not worth it. you wont end up liking it or staying on it for long soo, i recommend you dont try it. :lol:

ok second like is like the SIMS video/pc game. u make a character that looks like you(or how ever you want it to) you can have jobs, buy items what ever its more free roaming then the SIMs. in the game you can buy things with real money. think of them like upgrades. so if you wanna buy your char a shirt you get out your credit card and then go buy it. or yo can make items and sell them online. and you can have the game set up to a bank of yours so if ppl buy something from you you get paid for real so its kinda like pay pal but straight to the bank instead of a 2nd party. during the past yr this game has become very popular and has had some endorsements with real world companys.

It would be nice if there was a online virtual Cybertron and all people in "Second Cybertron" had to have Transformer avatars.

Transformers is really embracing all the free web exposure they can get. Never been to second life, not going to begin now either.

Second life is basically a visual chat room with a hideous graphics engine that's been outdated for over a decade, an in-game economy that people buy into with real money, and user-created content that can be sold in the in-game economy. And by user-created content I mean furry avatars, sex toys, bondage outfits, more sex toys, Star Trek costumes, bootleg porn videos, posters of half-fox cartoon characters masturbating...

What it all adds up to is a 3d version of Yahoo chat rooms before they got rid or private rooms, but with an economy based on cyber-whoring and gambling.

Second Life is disturbing.

I saw second life in a presentation at school. It looks interesting, but it does seem to require too much involvement on my end. Plus, I really wouldn't be a fan of spending money through it.

So, is it wrong that I have created a character and am waiting on a neighboring area, until they open Sector 7 up to the masses in the morning?

I'm interested in checking out Sector 7, I'm hoping it's the 7 level base that we've seen 5 of the 7 levels to... (and I'd really like to check out the "First 7" pictures, assuming they're there as well...
