Not very surprising to hear.

Are the proportions correct?

You're that small? Disappointing.
 
Mr.X, that truly sad thing is that even though you were kidding there is some truth in what you said. There are actually people who get more pleasure, happiness, respect and even life in their virtual worlds tha in the real one. For the record, spending $4.99 a minute to watch a webcam girl diddle herself is not pathetic.

Even though I was mostly trying to spoof the pile-on-wally phenomenon, I did believe it to be a valid argument. Even though multi-user type games don't agree with me, personally, I don't judge people for being into virtual societies. I especially don't think that us gamelive enthusiasts have much of a leg to stand if we want to ridicule people just for being obsessed with Second Life. They're not such different animals.
 
I thought someone here was on SL? Wal, is it you. Was that shoe comment a misdirection?

I do have an SL account. Mr. Nina went through a SL phase two years ago but I have rarely logged in there for over a year.

Wally, the way the money issue works is really simple. The "currency" there is called Lindens. You can buy them using your Paypal account. Then you can get some virtual land and place your virtual house on. Two years ago the rate was about 12000 Lindens a month, which would equal between $50 and $75 a month. You have people who design clothes, houses, furniture, pets, plants, boats, cars, anything you have in the real world. And yes, some people make a lot of money doing it but mainly the creators of the whole site are the ones raking it in.

True. Very hypocritical. But I get it. I've been witness to conversations between seriously out of control coke heads making fun of crack heads because, well, crack.

If anything, Second Lifers should be making fun of us. They have full on porn clubs and such. All we do is post pictures of balls and use toilet paper rolls inappropriately.
