      Has anyone registered and had a look at this yet? It’s very interesting and somewhat overdue maybe:

      http://secondlife.com/

      There are real bands playing live gigs, dedicating songs to people sitting in the audience and real radio stations with studios and things like that. You can model and animate anything you like and script actions etc. It’s all very surreal but very cool!

      I installed it one weekend, but took it off the following weekend. I uninstalled it, it’s only fair to point out, not becuase of anything inherently wrong with it, simply that I didn’t have the time to invest in it.

      I actually liked the idea, and it seemed like a novel environment. As previously mentioned, there are some graphical glitches, and it isn’t as polished as most other Massive Multiplayers, but then again, that isn’t it its raison d’etre.

      There are some really nifty (do people still use that word?) ideas. These include

      – the ability to take an screenshot, and email it, in-game, as a postcard
      – flying
      – by-the-hand orientations early on.

      Recommended. But don’t expect Star Wars: Galaxies.

      I’ve just messed around with it briefly but it is a lot more complex when you spend some time with it, I saw people there building helicopters & then scripting its behaviours in-game!!!!

      There’s live event like races and seminars, and as I mentioned before live gigs (which are excellent) and someone had even built a space station complete with Earth backdrop, Olde London & even Never land but no wacko Jacko ;(

      A lot of room for creative freedom there!

      Cheers,
      Ian
