[Giulio Prisco of the IEET Declares Second Life Dead]

All the more reason to enjoy our virtual utopia while it lasts. Maybe not today, maybe not tommorrow, but SL's going to go arse up eventually unless LL starts giving a crap about it again.

[Which was better, your RL Christmas or your SL Christmas?]

My RL Christmas. Because I actually got to see my family in the flesh and not through a computer monitor.

Sorry, but if you spent Christmas Day on SL exanging polygons with your avatars that's... kinda sad. Like, sadder than those homeless people who had to spend their Christmas in a Salvation Army shelter.

[What did you get for Christmas?]

£50

Slippers

A onesie (shut up it's really compfy)

All Game of Thrones books

Game of Thrones TV series box set

Chocolate

Dragon figurine

A gargoyle

Two model micro pigs (goddamned adorable, they are)

Clothes

Jewellery

Felidae (DVD)

Plague Dogs (DVD)

Fable: The Lost Chapters (PC game)

A shoulder bag

 

M'yep, I got a pretty good haul this year.

 

 

 

[Linden Lab employees misusing private user avatars ?]

This is not the work of Lindens, but of other malignant forces. I'm sorry to tell you that your wife's avatar has been possessed. We need an SL exorcist!

[Can a kick-butt video game avatar make you healthier?]

It would be cool if motion capture was introduced to SL and we could convery our expressions and hand gestures through our characters while sitting at our computers. Would be kinda awkward if you're a habitual nose picker though...

[Do you see any difference in marketing by LL yet?]

I haven't seen any adverts for Patterns or Creatorverse. I only learned of Patterns when I went to log in to SL and saw it in the corner.

[I see SL is being "Improved" again.......]

I just got crashed in a welcome area, it made my computer reboot. It's very disturbing that people have the ability to do that through SL. Meanwhile, LL is busy venturing off into their Patterns project rather than thinking about implementing better measures to prevent this. 

[Moderation Gone Bad]

He must be regretablly unendowed, she hasn't even woken up yet.

[Is it possible to NOT dress like a **bleep** in SL??]

Damn, should've asked this question ages ago. *subscribes to thread*

I got so fed up of trying to find baggy trousers and T-shirts to fit my tomboy image I resorted to buying clothes intended for men.

[The Revenge of The Nerds]

BBC's late to the party. There's loads of kids these days labelling themselves Nerds and Geeks to appear different and edgy. The true name for them is Hipsters, though.

[What happened? It's been three months and no Steam.]

Smell-o-vision? Lovely, I would be able to enjoy belching contests over voice even more. And farts. And the smell of sweaty bodies sticking to leather chairs. *gags*

[Premium Exclusive Gift for November 2012: Lindy Premium Airplane v1.04]

Nope, still not interested in premium.

I bought a bi-plane in SL years ago. The controls were tricky as hell and I rarely used it.

[What happened? It's been three months and no Steam.]

I think they announced that they were working on mesh in 2009 and look how long it took them to implement it. They've also showed a video of the pathfinding feature they were going to introduce and we still haven't gotten that yet. It'll probably be next year that they actually do it or start talking about it again.

[The Voices In My Head]

My brain does that too. Sorry, you're not special.

[What *I* would like to see next for Second Life.]

More inworld building tools and the introduction of custom bones. Cloth physics would be nice too but that would probably be too hard on most people's computers at present.

[The value of Linden$ ?]

A single sheet of toilet paper.

[Is copybotting okay?]

What does it matter anymore? It's not like the Lindens are around to stop it.

[Pls someone who knows me or anyone really]

I'll IM her and tell her you're undergoing transitional surgery to become a gopher.

[Gonna be gone from in-world]

Or y'know, it could be something wrong on your side that's quite fixable if you just ASK.

When I kept crashing I found uninstalling SL and deleting all the files left over from it got it back on track after reinstallation. I never realized it leaves so much crap on your computer even after uninstalling.

[Double Talking on some sims?]

Sometimes when I teleport to sims I can hear the voice chat still going in the previous sim I was in. Perfect to exploit if you want to spy on someone.

[How can I earn lindens?]

I see right through you, you shameless Pimp.

[Help?]

Yeah, and it's been around for ages.

[Help?]

Did this pony mesh happen to come from a store called All Meshed Up? Because if so you've just gone and bought an unrigged mesh. If it's unrigged its legs and other body parts won't move.

[Rodvik?]

He's taken the money and ran. Soon Philip will follow suit.

[Buying inworld vs buying on MP]

I buy just about all my stuff on the market place. I'll very occasionally write a review and give a rating.
