DISCLAIMER: While most of this sounds true, or may be true - this is just a review, IT DOES not by any means actually express the views of the LINDEN LAB STAFF, or it's 60,000 residents on during one moment of the day.
So you're standing out in the middle of a simulator with hardly any clothes on looking like you just came out of the mental hospital. What to do, do we move left or right do we take a shoe off or do we make our hair pink? That's just the third of it, from there you learn you can PURCHASE currency like any normal person would tell you NOT to do as it's usually some form of pyramid scam built by the company that developed the game just so you'll support their donut eating mind wasting programmers.
We'll not go there.
After you're dorking around getting your money and realizing "OMG. I CAN LOOK LIKE ____ insert random person here ____ LETS SEE HOW MUCH IT COSTS!" - you hook your credit card to your account and you spend up like mad. You end up looking like a half-baked pixelized low-brow from the depths of the very first SIMS game.
In fact after you just spend about 100 US on getting a house, furniture and new clothes you're sitting there going.. "Wow, my skin looks worse than that free one i got when i was playing Sims 2" ...If you haven't moved on to playing the sims 3 yet, and realizing the gameplay is easier to deal with, go ahead and move forth into reading this review.
By now you're realizing you can make back or supposedly make back cash by taking the high creation road and battling it out with several other copyright contesters who make things that so seem like your own ideas. By the time you've had your second life nervous breakdown, move into the second life mental hospital - you realize you can go into second life MODELING.
Yes.
Modeling.
If you haven't already noticed the wide varitey of dishonest practices on second life, and amount of poeple that are creepier than a new york cabbie - wait until you learn what you get to do on the computer next.
In this VIRTUAL world we call second life, when you get to do modeling - you're not modeling VERSACE, or even LIP SERVICE clothing. You're modeling creations that took someone the maximum of two hours in photoshop. Some of them are even as quick as what's called a "COPYPASTA" - and they didnt even have to copybot to do it that badly.
So you use your arrows on your keyboard to learn NOT to strut down a real life runway, but a prim one. A poorly designed system can mean you're blowing your motherboard and your power supply out to timbuktu or even antartica. The final shows of you and your oddly designed avatar mixed with concerts and fairs and only 50 people make running down that walkway worse than molassses.
Top it off with the abusive people that even in real life you'd never want to put up with. Being yelled at for zig zagging down something that isn't real!
Once you've survived that, been told you're at risk for being AR'ed and other wonderful things that don't really hold ground when you're not even 3 weeks old in second life timing (Yes, they have ways of coutning days and years IN WORLD. Wow, really great.) - You try to make it out on the lawns of making more clothes - until you're then told you're a copypasta geek copybotter like the rest of them! (YAY!
lol. People really have to deal with this, this is why i dont play this LOL)
Then the viewer system itself, breaks and you can't teleport, and you can't make tails or heads of anything - and your shape and skin have been reduced to an androgyous form named "RUTH"...
and the system reverts and restarts.
....and you cry in your soup for wasting your time with such a silly thing
