Second Life

I finally went to sign up today for second life. I don't really know much about it, but I know it something that maybe I would enjoy. I don't really engage in it anymore, but when I was younger I was really into the SIMS and I feel like second life is a step up from that technology. I haven't got to play the second life yet because when I went to start up the game, a notice came up saying that the system had crashed! My great luck I have. When I first went to sign up it ask me to pick what I want my character to look like. It only gave about 8 or 10 choices and I found the choices to be strange as well. There were a few boys and girls that you can choose from and then they had peoples bodies with animal faces! I found that to be really strange! After I picked what I wanted myself to look like I had to choose a name for myself in the second life world. You can tell that there are a lot of people in this second life world because I had to kept choosing names over and over because people already had the names I chose. Finally I came up with the first name JAM14(which is my initials and my lucky number) and I had chosen their last name of Matova which was just chosen at random. When I first went to go log in of course I had forgotten the password I chose, so I had to keep trying different things until finally I realized that we are supposed to put our second life name into the system and not our real name. Real Smart, I know! ha. After all of that and trying to get in, the system crashes and I don't get to try the game. I will keep trying and let everyone know how it turns out! :)

Good for you for giving it a shot. Let us know how it turns out. BTW, once you get into SL, you can modify your appearance in significant ways, so you're really not stuck with the body you pick at the start.
