Second life...second.....life....
Yep thats right i know nothing about second life, but as i type this im actually watching a presentation on second life so i guess i can convey the important points about what i see.
And straight of the bat as a guy who likes design, the logo is interesting.
Apparently Second life is very similar to the Sims. And the sims is made to fill Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs...huh i just like building awesome houses in the game.
The four player categories of the Sims also relates to Second Life, there are the conformers, death dealers, the reality viewers and the doll house.
Second life originally began its (first) life as a game called Linden world which was primative, but in 2002 simulation was extremely basic, so from what i see it was pretty good for its time.
From 2002 to today Linden Lab has grown Second Life into a massive game with new adults only districts as well as a bigger world, and a new community platform for new users.
So for those reading this who are wondering what all these facts are, well from what i see the company which runs Second Life, Linden Labs, focusses heavily on what a players avatar (playable character) can do during their life. It relates alot to the sims more than just on the psychological side of things, but also for a person to use it to experience different things that they know they woul not get a chance to do on a day to day basis.
So yeah its actually an interesting aspect that i would have a look around just to quency my curiousity.
