How About Some Massive Multiplayer Online Life
August 10th, 2005
I know we have all thought of “dropping out” from our day-to-day lives.
Well this is a great way of doing it.
Not unlike GTA3 it allows for any type of behavior.
It is aptly named “Second Life”. Here is the kicker; you can build your own life. Who your are, where you live, your house. You can fly, sail, drive etc.
“Travel on foot, or by planes, trains, and flying saucers; gondolas, fuel-injected muscle cars, mechanical unicorns, fearsome gun ships, giant snails, smog-belching mech robots, stardust-powered magic broomsticks—or on your own power, with the innate ability that all Residents have, to teleport and fly at will”
Its OPEN SOURCE!. Meaning that the residents have made RPG’s, puzzles, First Person Shooters all inside the world.
Why is this cool you might ask. Unlike the The Sims the players contribute to the world. Unlike The Sims you can do ANYTHING you want. Complete free will. Yes there are brothels.
Here is the site for it:
