Second Life

[nachdenki]

Second Life isn't really a "game" but I think it fits here best.

Second Life is about making an avatar (your character) with wich you go around in a virtual world built mostly by other people (I mean, not by the SL administration). You can buy and sell items you build but you need Linden Dollar (L$) to buy things and these L$ cost you real money unless you earn some in Second Life (for example by dancing or sitting).
It's quite boring imo if you don't have an own place or something like that but own land costs you even a monthly fee + some extra $ if you own "big" land.
I dislike SL a lot for having this fees.
If you just want to walk around and build some stuff with standard textures or free textures etc. you don't have to pay anything.

BUT.

There are also positive things. In aspect of Jpop are to be mentioned the B.L.T. (you know, that magazine) building where they show like every cover ever published in a room. Also on the same island is the AKB48 central and a/the Tokyo Tower as well as a big building of a jap. mobile company (I think it's NTT DoCoMo). For me more interesting on some mainland: Dohhhhup's space. You have probably seen it on some older "Hobby" videos of dohhhup.com, they have a video panel there and advertise new singles of H!P. Sometimes you can have a short chat with dohhhup staff people if there is someone around.

I will probably use this thread to show you what I do in SL and stuff like that. I hope there are also other people around here who lurk in SL or want to lurk there so I don't need to spam this thread alone and maybe get some more companion in SL. If you want to know where some places are you can ask me.
For me it's mostly either like a 3D chatroom or a playground


Now, here my latest construction. The Berryz wall.

Well, the most latest is the momobot, a supposed to be Momoko-bot, script I wrote. You can talk with her and she answers sometimes randomly sometimes fixed.

For me, Second Life is a way to meet different people from all over the world, and even though I originally entered SL just out of curiosity and to explore the possibilities of this world, I found the love of my life there. I partnered with her inworld, and before year's end, we will marry in real life. And I would have missed her if it weren't for SL, since I am in Venezuela and she is in Brazil

Yo reyfer. I also entered SL out of curiosity at first. That's why my "born date" is 2/22/2007 but I'm only really active since like... either March or April this year. Like I said, for me it was very boring at first (and still is kind of) because I don't know. If I were more the social type it would be more fun I suppose. Like in your case, making friends or even close friends is something you can do there for sure.

You know what I find weird? There are huge maps and everything costs money for the owners but there are so many places where hardly any people are at. Second Life looks so empty if you fly around, only  like a 2 to 5 people on one region with an exception of a very few even though there are buildings all over the place.

I went to some party the day before, a supposed-to-be cosplay party. The music was nice imo, too bad I was late and it only lasted for some songs lol. Today I went to a "Japanese only" club with someone else who knows Japanese better than me. We were pretending to be something like a couple/friends and my name was "Tsugunaga Momoko" haha. Oh jeez, they called me 桃子さん. It was fun but also strange because my Japanese isn't good enough for a conversation in it with people who think I am native speaker. So I didn't say much and my partner had to speak for me... still they were trying to make me talk. My partner said I went to Guam lately
It was just my partner and me as well as the club owner with a friend all the time. ...We still wonder what kind of club that actually was.
I didn't take any screenshots 

To be continued with new experiences~

The last... 2 or 3 days I've been working on a Chinami birthday special for my Berryz wall.

The best I came up with is her border changing the color all the time, a text and a fireworks effect.
So making this effect together with an prim/object was the most difficult part of my birthday preparation.
The explosion is a particle effect of course, for which I used a template so this wasn't "much" work but the part of the balls flying up, exploding and then killing itself was a bit tricky esp. because I had to find a parcel that has scripts disabled since the balls would disappear after a short time of rezzing which makes editing impossible.

Here a screenshot of the result~ the image(border) turns automatically back to normal when the 22nd is over. The tube is an extra which I'll remove manually o/

The red ball has a big explosion, I just added those a few minutes ago because I thought a bday also needs some "epic" explosions
