There

There was an interesting Virtual World. It was a lot easier to just up and do things than Second Life was. Although I wasn't able to run it on a Mac, only PC it ran a bit slow, though this could have been just because of the PCs in the lab being a bit outdated and being on forever at a time. I enjoyed the lack of complexity of the characters. Everyone was simple and all looked relatively similar. In my time spent with There.com it was a lot easier to interact with people than it has been for me in Second Life. I found that right away people would talk to me instead of me having to chase them around, and also enjoyed that the people were very friendly as opposed to the cliques of Second Life. My strange encounter was making out, it was interesting. I was just walking around and a female character came up to me and asked if I wanted to sit down, then after sitting down she asked if I wanted to make out, very inviting? I think it took longer for her to tell me how to actually get my character to kiss her than the make out session itself.

Age was on thing that didn't even cross my mind, I assumed that everyone in there had to be at least 18 or older but it turned out that the person behind this character was a 15 year old girl, maybe this could have been why she was very open and willing to just kiss and flirt, because after I told her how old I was in real life, she started making out with another character after she told me I was too old. Even for on virtual game, I feel slightly used? Haha

There dotcom

Either fortunate, or unfortunate I have not been able to play this game. It is only for PCs (vista/xp/2000) and I do not have a PC any longer, only running two Macs.

Second Life

It took a long time but I was finally able to interact with someone in Second Life. I did have a brief interaction a few days ago, but the two other players didn't really interact with me, and I ended up using the term 'fag' to describe them and some how I ended up in a grey cube for about 5 minutes, which then turned into a globe for another 5 minutes. I am not sure if this is just how the game works, or if those two characters had some kind of virtual power to do so? Though seeing as how I was in the superhero palace, or what ever it is called does not surprise me.

Persona

For my virtual persona I would like to take on a cyberpunk. Maybe not so much in the department of being a hacker or anything of that nature, but the whole virtual persona makes me think of William Gibson's novels. This style I really enjoy, but its basically the glorification of a high-tech low life. Think almost matrix-esce, however not that much into that fanboy'ism but mainly the William Gibson style. As far as talents and phobias, I am not 100% sure on this.

10. The EZ Chat was easy to use, but found it hard to interact directly with other characters, sometimes I would engage in an interaction with the EZ Chat and they would just be able to walk away, so this is a bit annoying. Teaming up to fight the cogs was interesting, but sometimes when I would have two cogs fighting my character it was very hard to get help from other characters running around so I would have to run instead of finishing a battle.

9. What breaks this is the trolley game play, also fighting with a cog, and sometimes the directional keys do not co-inside the exact movements of the character, sometimes the character gets stuck.

8. I feel that generally just walking around makes me feel like I am in the game, being able to explore and run around freely.

blog.suck

I don't know why I am having many issues with Blogger, I keep trying to customize the layout but it won't take the css and completely F's up what I'm trying to do. Oh well, I hate the way this always works out when it comes to coding stuff

Toon Down

So far I've spent about 4.5 hours in ToonTown building up my arsenal and feeling around the landscapes. Its been a bit frustrating. I'm trying to find some laugh house right now but I can't seem to find it. It says its located in ToonCentral, but I can't find it at all.
