I have been playing around with secondlife.. and after reading all the hype and analyzing it.. I think that it’s a lot of fluff. All the concepts have been done before..

create your own space and customize it.. done (simcity, the sims.. etc)
walk around and experiment with different areas.. done (halo, grand theft auto, tony hawk)

the only thing that is new it seems is that you have a currency and that the world is open source..

the more I think about it. it’s like halo without guns.. and who doesn’t want guns?

The thing that annoys me is how you interface with secondlife.. you use it via an internet enabled computer and have to have a live connection (and fast too).. but you are using your keyboard..

I think someone should create a specialized controller to plug in to the usb or firewire plug and let you walk around like you are used to…
