Qotw10:Second Life

The Grand casino.

Second Life, at first, sounded like a futile concept to me. I was under the impression that it was a virtual world created where people would just go to while away time online. This impression changed when i sat down to explore its horizons. At first i was stuck at orientation island becuase i lost my oihud and didnt know how to get of the island. After an hour of researching online, i got a walkthrough for the island, and was on my way to the mainland. I had fun editing my appearance, and i think i did a pretty good job at it. When i got to the main land, i was surrounded by all these signs which read "Nympho Paradise". This was a bit distrubing because there were tons of naked people running around getting upto all sorts of stuff. I came across one sign which read, "Grand Casino", and given that i had only 250 Linden dollars i thought it would be a good time to make some money. I headed straight to the poker tables. Thats where i took the first picture. I played with six other people, and in an hour i was up 500 Linden Dollars and called it quits. I headed to the black jack tables and had a good run there as well.

I got the hang of telelporting to differnt locations, and went to a ton of palces. I went to Hollywood, Paris, Tokyo, Lion City, Hawaii and lots more. I made a Friend at this island called Hawaii Kai which is a beautiful place, with a lot of nice houses. I strolled around for a while, and bumped into Nina Voom. We started talking and she showed me her house. It was really nice, and she told me she paid 950 Linden Dollars a week for it. After twenty minutes, she told me she had to go work. She used to sell Jewellery and make it herself.

After I left Ninas palce, I came across this one palce called 'Goddess of Love", which sounded like anpther one of those mass orgy palces. After i read a description of it, it said that it was the best club in Second life and so i checked it out. This was truly quite a nice palce. The design was great, the music was good and there were tons of people. As i got in i saw about a hundred people dancing in the middle of their dance floor. Five minutes into it, i had already made freinds with a girl and i asked her to dance. Her name was Starshine. we danced for about twenty minutes or so , and then she had to leave.

I had spent close to three or four hours on Second Life,and didnt even realize it. I made money, made friends had a good time at a club. Second life is very engaging and very open ended. While i did feel that there was a lot of sexual content in this world, i realized i can ignore it and still find hundreds of things to do and even more people to meet. All in all i had a great time on the program and am sure that I will spend a lot of lazy afternoons doing whatever i want to do in this ingenius virtual setting.
