.:in order to have a ’second life’, you should have…:.
from the site: “first life is an analog 3D world where server lag does not exist”
in a nutshell:
this isn’t anything more than a one-page parody site of an online ‘game’ called ‘second life‘. i guess in order for this to be funny, you need to go check the second life site out. or you can just let me tell you that second life is a pretty amazing phenomenon in the MMORPG (massively multiplayer online roleplaying game) community. while i don’t personally play it, i know enough about it to tell you that it is essentially a digital universe where people like you and i create an ‘avatar’ to do just about anything you want to do. want to be a superhero? check. ever have dreams as a kid of becoming a prostitute? you can in second life. want to sell virtual real estate and make an estimated $1 million in profits? yeah, you can do that too. how is that possible? the game uses a monetary system based on something called ‘linden dollars’, and you exchange your real money for second life linden dollars (i believe it’s currently L247.50 per $1.00 US dollar). there’s a whole site on conversion here.
the guy who made the ‘get a first life’ site obviously sees the absurdity (and the ultimate humor) in this, hence the parody site you have by now most likely feasted your eyes on. and chuckled. apparently, in first life, you can ‘find out where you actually live’, ‘access your closet to build your first life look, and, my personal favorite, ‘fornicate using your actual genitals’.
one might be inclined to laugh at people who play second life, and say, ‘well, if you put as much time into your real life as you do your second life, then you would probably be a pretty successful person.’ i need only point to the thing about the girl making a million dollars in the game.
who’s laughing now?
