I sort of find Second Life interesting. It's interesting to me to see how whacky people are when they are given some tools and set free.
But man, Second Life needs a MAJOR overhaul in technology. It is painfully ugly and slow.

You know what all this talk of attachments in strange orifices, the slow rez joke... it goes to show that Fahey understand the medium like no other commentator can.

By enabling users to create the ugliest thing since the Voodoo was shiny and new, Second Life is transforming the way I sometimes vomit into the back of my mouth when I look at the screen.

Yes Linden Labs, let us engage in a 3D utopia of cybersex, e-prostitutes and digital penises, good job!

"By enabling users to create a rich and immersive virtual world, Second Life is transforming the way we connect, collaborate, learn and transact online."

Does it sound to anyone else that he is seriously underestimating the amount of influence MMOs have had in the past decade or so? I mean, sure, Second Life has a lot of "subscribers," but most of those people only subscribe to try it once, and then they never try it again. But weren't there MMOs that were doing just what he is saying years ago?

Plus, maybe it's just me, but I'd rather have the degeneracy of the Internet in only two dimensions, thank you very much.

It's bouncing Paper Marios, not bouncing Pac-Men...

... Not that I would know anything about griefing, oh no.

@Komrade_Kayce: I'm going to have to agree with Komrade. The occassional typo or spelling error and misused tags are not THAT annoying.

You know, it really is amazing what a phenomenal success Second Life has become recently. There's so much money to be made there for consumers with a little talent and work.

Normally I stick up for Second Life since I do a lot of fun stuff there and make some great games, and I like to fight Kotaku's usual "LAWL FURRIES" jokes...

...but frankly, SL's been annoying the hell out of me lately with constant crashes, asset server failures, and a myriad of other bugs. So I'll join the masses in booing them today, at least, and hope this twit they hired actually FIXES THINGS for a change.

@Komrade_Kayce: Agreed. Nothing helps your future job's interviewer more than getting your screen name into Google to see that you enjoy ruining other people's online experiences.

@karasu is my homeboy: @ShaggE:

Ill petition against your petition. If the internet has taught me anything, its that people shouldn't be allowed to change what they've said. They can apologize for it. Add on to it. But giving them the ability to change it is far too much power.

However, I'd be all gung-ho letting the star bellied sneeches that some of you are have an edit button. Then at least it would be people of (relative) repute.

I wonder if it will even matter that there's going to be a new CEO, Philip is still the chairman, and they can't do something drastic without his approval.

... And here I was hoping there was a secret tidbit to getting Grand Theft Auto IV early if I read the entire article.

I wonder if having the last name Kingdon makes you feel awesome, or like a failure.

This is good news, I guess. I don't bother Second Life and Second Life doesn't bother me.

In other news, does anyone else think that a certain video game rental site's logo is suspiciously similar to Second Life's logo? I just noticed.
