[Eug-lug] waaaaayyyyyy OT; are any of you living Second lives?

[Quentin Hartman]

Second Life has been "big" for a quite awhile, and is arguably in decline at
the moment. And, in my opinion, good riddance. The Register calls Second
Life "Sadville". I played with it once, and I'd have to agree with The Reg's
assessment. It seems like a good way to waste your real life by sinking
money and time into a fake one. I try not to be a parade-rainer, but SL just
strikes me as a way for Linden Labs (and the people who learn to game the
system) to take advantage of people with unfulfilling First Lives.
