I have played a lot of video games growing up. But Second Life is unlike any other game ever. It’s the only game that will cause you to start laughing uproariously out loud in real life. Stupid things will happen in Ambrosia and suddenly you are roaring with laughter out loud. A true LOL. A noob walks in wearing no clothes and a box on his head. Someone sets him on fire. Its hilarious. You laugh like a hyena while staring at a computer screen.
Naturally that is the moment some family member of friend comes to look over your shoulder and say “What’s so funny on the computer? Can I see?” And then you have to laboriously explain that there is a guy with the flashing bling dildo running around poking everyone on the dance floor prior to being set on fire and ejected to plummet into the cold ocean below. They just look at you and shake their heads in incredulity. Such is the price of SL addiction. The stiffs just don’t get it.
Here is something that is annoying lately. I run Viewer 2 which contrary to what most people say is not a tool created by Satan himself to destroy SL forever. It just does not have a lot of the nifty little features that the ubiquitous Emerald Viewer has such as “who is looking at me”. That is right, Emerald Viewer will set up a little crosshair to show who is looking where on the screen. Viewer 2.0 does not have this feature. The Dancers love it because they can see who is oggling them. But every once in a while i will get an IM now. Phil, why are you looking at my ass? And I say to them, Whaa? I am looking at the entire club filled with people and somehow my camera has centered on someone’s meaty pixel bum. I quickly explain my meaty pixel bum obsession and try to move my view elsewhere.
We have been having a lot of fun lately in the club and you need to come on by and visit up with all your old friends. Feel free to center your camera on their private parts. It can make someones day.

Great article!
I had an intersting conversation when my mother looked over my shoulder whilst I was dancing at the club with a rather skimpy outfit.
Of course I explained all the huge responsibilities of my job as a dancer… needless to say she didnt quite get it!

*laughs*
Dude, I think I WAS that newb with the box on her head… This game is a fun ride though, and I laugh constantly at the epic fails that happen with the UI, whether it be my head twisting around the wrong way, people remaining clouds forever, or just the constant dance mishaps.
I use viewer 2 because I love the closet, the favorites bar and it seems to load faster than the Emerald thingie I tried. Plus, I dont care to know whose touching my ass… *laughs*
Thanks for the great post :)
Care~~
