Hi Sardionerak ,

I think Second Life has loads of potential...

Sure, the current releases could do with shaping and improvement..

I think you most likely haven't heard that the frontend is becoming open-source, and that within a year, the backend will also become open-source...

Also , there will be improved physics engines used in the future I'm told, with better programming structures, which will open SL up with loads more potential.

That is, if any of the competitors don't get there first... At the moment, Second Life is by far the leader of the pack and it'd take any other competitor years to catch up..

funny..my wife as about to get up and not watch. But the first few mins had her planted. Shopping...magic words they be.

Thought the program was well handled, well paced and gave enough info for a complete newbie to jump on and buy a penis...Not a lot of mention of other Australian activity which was a shame. Melb Banker boy grate'd me in a big way!

See you at the party

5 Comments, that’s a new record. I had a sinking feeling in my stomach when the start of the story focused on the more sensationalist aspects, but I have to say towards the end there was a bit more balanced analysis.

Favourite quote of the program, (when Ticky’s walking on Orientation Island)”this is a bit trickier than it might look”

I’m just glad its getting more mainstream now.
