life 2.0. Ha!

No. It's shit.
I gave it a whirl a while ago, after reading about people making making money off it, thinking I might be able to make a bit of cash whilst enjoying myself and doing graphiccy type things.
Not to be. It was shit, simply - dull, aimless and just not engaging.
Thankfully, it kept glitching on my machine, locking my dude on an axis after ½ an hour of aimless wandering about, invariably sending him thousands of feet underground. That's where I last left him.

large amounts of whiskey & pain pills will help re-align your thirst for life.

I did like this advert, though:

I don't think anyone would confess playing that crap here. hopefully...

I know where you're coming from, but just as equally, I'd hope people here would've at least tried it out.
Things can't stay 2d forever.

My gf did a story on it for cbc about two weeks ago so I was immersed in it for about two weeks while she researched it. A lot of disabled people who can't get out and do the things we are able to go on and live via it. Those that are not housebound should be out side living it though....
I know I don't hvae enough time to worry about my own life without having to look after a little fuckin avatars life as well though!

i am feeling the same way. i don't know. life is getting more predictabe less spontaneous. especially with more responsibilites, it's hard to be the same way like when i was in 20s.
i am trying to snap out of it by taking a trip. it always gives me a better perspective on my life.

How does it work?
Do you come back as an impecunious beatle variety and work your way through that species and then onto a small rodent? Or is it like, 2 weeks as an Mere Cat then, 'poof' back to human form?

my life IS a gigantic computer game. I'm margaret fucking mead and the whole world is my social experimenation laboratory! :D :P :D
Why would i chose to immerse myself in a paler version with 1/10000000000000000th of the sensory excitement?????
sounds dumb this whole virtual reality trip... reality IS virutal. For me anyways.

Nothing so involving or competitive, sadly.
You half-choose your name, you spend ½ an hour tweaking your avatar to look how you want. You wander around for a while, encounter a giant walking penis, Darth Vader or The Fonz, decide you'd like to look a little like The Fonz (with a big penis, if you wish), so you buy £50 worth of Linden Dollars so you can afford to get some dweeb in Malaysia to build you a new avatar, THEN you walk around a little more until realising that that ... well, that's about it.
It's only then you realise the Malaysian dweeb has actually dressed your guy up in assless chaps and your stuck, without a clue as to how to reset it.
- OSFA0
assless chaps? Sounds interesting...

I tried it for about 5 minutes after reading an article about it.
it's shit.

and i'd have to be pretty fucking disabled - like parapalegic vegetative ratarded duuuuuuuuh *drooooool, spinal cord injury, can only communicate via blinking, better off daed - state, before i'd consider spending my precious days where i can "cyber" fly, and "cyber" swim in a "cyber" environement.
like seriously. this "game" should only be for those waiting to be euthenised, and the socially malajusted - mainly teenagers.
- Nairn0
I'd sell you mine, but they appear to have made the jump from the virtual to the real.
That's my excuse anyway, and I'm standing by it.
