Comments on SL:
Damien: the pros of SL is that the virtual world is built and ran by the players itself rather then programmers and designers deciding it. all the programmers and designers need to do is to provide the necessary tools for the users to have a hands-on in building the shapes in the virtual world. i would say that this is quite intriguing.

but the cons of this game is that you may have to have a powerful computer and high boardband width to truly join the game. not only that, contents built and created by users arent really controlled and censored. hence, once in awhile we might stumbled onto a island that is more of a adult content.

Hello this is Shuwen commenting on the Pros and Cons about SL as a platform for entertainment.

My first impression is that this is a very interesting platform, and with the amount of player generated content, there is just so much to do.

SL is an interesting platform for entertainment due to the freedom it gives its players. However, as mentioned, one needs to have a good computer and good internet connection speed in order to fully enjoy second life.

Lynette here, just got my my invite so, here i am!

Second life. Generally..
Somehow gets boring without an objective flying around grabbing freebies. BUT. Like everyone else, I like the fact that players can create their own prims, sell em and stuff.. though the build tools aren't exactly the best ones around.. but for an ingame one, its pretty damn good.

I find tht when you put something on.. the character "shivers" quite disturbingly. due to lag probably.

With the scavenger hunt, there are objectives and rewards, sorta, so it was quite fun!

I personally, don't really like SL's camera.. maybe i'm not used to it or smth. turns very dramatically for me.

Love the ingame lessons, the tutors were.. extremely tolerant and nice.

My comment's getting long and messy.
