Second Life, yo

So I began playing Second Life. Again. I have to say, it does have a sort of addictive quality to it, like I said before, I had an account before, but I never really used it until yesterday. properly, anyway. So I spent quite a while on there last night, and I had met someone who had been on there for a while now and spends pretty much her whole life on there. I kid you not. She literally had a second life. I have some screenshots I'll put up a little later, but This particular girl had a family on Second Life, she had 3 daughters, or something, I forget. But she turned out to be a great help, she took me shopping(Lolz), she took me to a place where the clothng was free, along with other things.

I'm enjoying it too much. I need to calm it down a tad. But while we were on there, she saidto me another 'activity' on the game was o find a partner. This, to me, sounded a little weird. Its difficult trying to make money on this game, if you wanted some, you'd need an actual job. This means that you'd actually have to show up at your alotted times, and would have to be there for the actual amont of time you were supposed to be. I.e, 2 hours. This means you'd have to sit on Second Life for 2 hours, doing your job. And you'd get paid for it. With Linden Dollars, the currency for SL.

I'll probably continue playing again in a little bit, and then maybe I'll actually begin work on my Identities project. Hhahaha.

So, I didn't know whethere I'm supposed to relate Directors to the essay..Practitioners sounds like this to me..But Before that, Identities. I already have an account with Second Life, Kaz Weatherwax is my name. So I'll get right back onto that. So this should be fun. Screenshots to come soon.

Presentation

SO I had my presentation today, and I won't lie, walking in I was so close to throwing up. My firest proper presentation in well, pretty much ever. Did I mention it wasn't a normal powerpoint thing? No. No I didn't mention it. I made a video of me talking about my work. The lecturers enjoyed it gernerally, but said to me that if I was to do this again in the future, I must make sure to do something significant, and not something I could have just told them in person. But other than that, I think it went well. Now I just have to do my essay. Here we go.

New idea

Ok, so maybe that idea wasn't the best, because thinking about it, it'd be quite limited as to what I could do with it. For example, clicking on a TV could only get you so far, but then what? You go back, try another area, then once again, limitation.

K2010.

EDIT: I might do it.

Interactive Narrative ideas

So ideas:

- Use photos for the whole thing
- Clicking on different areas in the photos for different outcomes

Thats it for now, I'll begin work on this stuff.
