Second Life

[irxgbr]

I have just being wandering around Second Life for a few hours and was disappointed that Literotica did not return any search results.

Could someone let me know if there is a author hangout anywhere?

If not may I suggest "The Three Lions" at Bourton.

Very new to second life so that may be a poor location but seems like an idea to meet up somewhere!

erm... could you explain a bit more please?

I have no idea what second life is. Nor do I know where/what Bourton is, although The Three Lions sounds like a pub and I'm all for pubs.

Second life is basically a virtual reality world. You can visit there, "live" there, make friends and enemies, even open your own business and make money with that.

That's how I understand it, at least, as I've never actually played second life. I have my hands full with the first life.

Three Lions is in fact a song, sung by Baddiel, Skinner and the Lighting Seeds. It is a good one as it can be felt in the soul.

Unfortunately, as near as I can tell, Second life is a PC/Windows phenomena only.

Also, from what I understand, Second Life is having the usual libertarian's dilemma. How do you control the immoral and vicious in a society without recourse to the law, that is government? Or without resorting to the unethical person's tools? Which doesn't solve the problem, it just makes it worse.

Second Life sounds like a time-sucking vortex. *avoids in horror*

I downloaded second life about a year ago, messed around for about 20 minutes, and deleted the program a few months later for hard drive space.

It's one of the many things in recent years that has made me feel "old" (i.e. not a teen/college kid anymore). I'm perfectly happy with message boards, instant messaging and livejournal for online communications.

I suppose it didn't help that while my now 5 year old PC could run it, it ran pretty choppy.
