Hey,
I was thinking about putting together a gallery of NTers Second Life avatars, similar to the blog list i did a while back, and Crap's NT Mugs page. Anyone interested? or am I just a geek?

I was going to ask about this game (or whatever it's called, since most Second Lifers get all up in arms when you call it a "game") before, since I know there used to be a thread here.
Basically, I have been seeing this in more and more TV shows lately. This week's "The Office" episode featured Dwight playing Second Life, and there are 2 episodes on "CSI:NY" that are dedicated to catching a professional hitwoman who uses Second Life to get closer to the people she wants to kill (who would otherwise be inaccessible to her).
I don't think I'd be interested in the game, but the reasons behind who plays it and why they play it intrigues me.

What is "Crap's NT Mugs page", era404?
I'd be interested to see who here is on SL - the couple of times I've brought it up beforehand it's been shot to pieces.
Do you spend much time there?

"..it's been shot to pieces".
er.. partly by me, it has to be said - I've tried giving it a go a couple of times, but never quite understood it all.

Crap's nt mugs page was a set of portraits Crap did of NTers some years back--an example is here, on my last.fm page

jaline - cbc did a good piece on 2nd Life earlier this year. was the first time i had heard of it. and yeah you're right media is allover it now.
doesn't appeal to me at all. but i'll respect others who enjoy and keep any further comments to myself.

Thanks, horton.
Interesting stuff.
I interviewed the managing editor of news and blog stuff at the CBC and he was talking about how the CBC is trying to get it touch with all this stuff now, which makes sense.

i'll be honest with you, Jaline, those episodes (CSI, Office) are the only reason I know about the game. And while I'm just jumping on the proverbial bandwagon, I think there's a number of good opportunities for cross-branding, intra-media promotion and viral marketing (like the CSI "crime scene" on SL).

Detritus, this isn't what i was refering about initially:

the NT User "Crap" had illustrated all of us a while back. I remember because he made me look like i had The Rock's eyebrow, but he's pretty damn talented. dunno what happened to it.

I must've been working while all this was going on. Cause, you know, some people work.

..and I just went in to SL to have a look at the Avatar I hastily put together so long ago and.. no, I won't be sharing.
It looks like Peter fucking Pan.
