See even the US Army is using sl,so it is relevant and not boring.
So there's Mort and the Bearded Lady hitchhiking through the wilds of Nevada where it never really gets dark because the ground glows kinda blue-like and up pulls a truck driver and he doffs his cap at the beloved and what do you know he has a third eye but it's a ride and so Mort and the Bearded Lady ended up in Tonopah which isn't quite Reno but then the driver had to turn off the road on one of those secret mission things that goes into the fenced-off land with the "deadly force authorized" signs and all the guards have third eyes. It's no place for newlyweds, nosirreebub.
Pretty soon the saucer flies overhead - did I mention there was a saucer well there was - and they look up and wave at the little guys inside with the flippers and the metal suits and the third eyes and Mort sez to the Bearded Lady "Hey, we never did settle on a honeymoon," but she sez she wasn't into the anal probe thing so they settled on Disneyland instead. So Uncle Mort got a job running the flying car ride at Tomorrowland and the Bearded Lady - that's my Aunt Mildred - landed a role in the Pirates of the Carribean diorama as the lady who was running in circles from a pirate only later they got politically correct and made her carry a turkey on a plate so everybody would think the pirate was hungry instead of horny well you know how the 90's were. But that's why my Cousin Hannah has tentacles. Well, that's what we think, anyway.
No, I do get it axle. I’m not hating on SL, just commenting that it looks like Everquest pre-Luclin.
With all the cashflow Lindon receives, a game engine overhaul wouldn’t be a bad thing. Most long-running MMOs (with far less subscribers) do an overhaul. I was just remarking that I haven’t played anything online with graphics like that since 2001. Even Dark Age of Camelot at launch (pre-Shrouded Isles) had better GFX. B
ack in the day it was fine, but now that I’m accustomed to a higher poly count and better textures and bmp mapping, bloom and particle effects, erc, I’m spoiled.
Kind of like MUDing after UO was launched.
I’m sure loads of people love SL. Personally, I tend to spend my PC time on MMORPGs.
Now, if you do want a game with a steep learning curve, just give EVE a try ;)
Well i think of SL as Blender meets the sims online.
Where’s the zombies?
Hey Bill, I was out in NV last summer driving around en route back east from the wacky coast. Does your cousin Hannah have both ears on the same side of her head? Swear I picked up a hitchhiker that was her.
That’d be Hannah, all righty. Sweet kid, really, but we’ve sort of given up trying to buy her earrings for her birthdays - she has two, but that’s up to Aunt Mildred to explain, birthdays I mean not ears. The dangly ones sort of get caught in the gill slits. Earrings, I mean, not birthdays.
I like that analogy ;)

Better than you might think, but that was the braces that Aunt Mildred insisted on when she was 12. The orthodontist sort of freaked out when they had to strap her into the chair but you have to admit her bite is perfect now. What’s great about having them off to one side like that is that she can pop peanuts in and still never miss a minute of the game. Or raisins or those roasted grubs she likes. Aunt Mildred won’t let her eat caramels since the braces came off. Those things are disgusting anyway.
Dammit,this thread is about Second life,not about kids or whatnot!
That would explain the peanut shells that were all over the bed of my pickup. If you see her, tell her the folks with the pickup and the dog she rode with say HEY!
Dog never has been quite the same since that night though. Somethin’ about her scared him.
