First off, let me say I hate Second Life the same way I hate MySpace: it's crowded, full of less-than-desirable
sex-sicknesses, slow to load, and you are basically surrounded by a bunch of morons. I'm sure it's no coincidence that a web site like this pops up promoting the idea of going outside instead of nerding out in front of a computer.

But my problem isn't even associated with the fact people are spending too much time in front of computers. My beef with Second Life is the fact that it's no where near as intuitive as living, and looking at the badly rendered 3D image only reminds me of Wolfenstein the first game to popularize the idea of 3D FPS category. Wolfenstein should only exist in nostalgia. If I am going substitute my real life for some 3D world I better be able to date my wife disguised in her hot hot avatar that would look like Gwyneth Paltrow (yes, she's my definition of hot) and not some dumb ass Asian masseuse!

Alas, I realize Second Life is only going to grow popular as time goes. After all Second Life allows 40 year old virgin dudes and fat house wives to look at least as bad as everyone else, and have some virtual orgy. Nothing in the real world can beat that, right?

Ok, thanks for listening to my rant. I'll go ahead and stop reading Valleywag...
