So I recently got a Second Life account for class, and I was sort of excited about it, because I had heard of it and I was curious as to what it would be like. I heard it was similar to the SIMS and I used to love playing the SIMS when I was younger. So I made my avatar and everything, and I made myself a guy, which was my favorite part. I then started to try and play the game and it seriously slowed my computer down! I was getting soo mad! I would try to walk around and teleport to places and it would take forever for the page to load, and it was slowing down the other things I had open on my computer that I was unable to do anything else!
Once I got over the fact that my computer was destined to work at the pace of a snail while I had Second Life open, I just decided to attempt to work out how the game works. So, I started talking to other avatars and teleporting to "hot spots" and basically just checking things. I eventually ended up at this one jazz place, and so may people were there, but I just couldnt deal with it. Random people were talking to me, and following me around and it just got annoying. To put it simply - I really don't like playing Second Life and I'm happy about that, because if I actually liked it, it would only be one more thing that will prevent me from doing the work I should be doing.
