As I sit here updating my resume again, I’m aware that Ruthy is sitting in the other room downloading the Second Life client.
Now, I could have sworn that our second life is taken up by Guild Wars and will run right through into our third and beyond, but it got me a-thinking on what I do with this fantabulous interweb I have access to.
Other than the cozy corner of Der IntarVeb that mrBen and I have carved out in the form of JediMoose, I don’t really bother with much else.
Alongside my ‘Moose interests I have Desert Of Zin, my writing/creative thoughts blog, apaisleybigfoot, a LiveJournal account I signed up for and never bothered with again, a flickr account and a Last FM account.
And as for games, I’m only interested in Guild Wars because:
- it’s great,
- there are no monthly fees
- and there are no monthly fees.
I’m aware that Second Life is popular and I know MySpace is popular, just like I know Oasis are popular, but for the life of me I don’t know why.
Maybe the problem is that I tend to be suspicious of “popular” things. After all, there’s nothing worse than feeling like you’re caught on the bandwagon like everyone else.
“Do I like it because it’s good or because it’s popular?”
Maybe I’m missing out on something really cool, something really life changing.
Then again, maybe not.
