I've not posted a rant on this forum, but this is driving me nuts.

So I have to use an online "game" called Second Life to complete an assignment for my CIS class. The point of the game is to create an online avatar, and then go around and buy stuff (land, houses, cars, clothes, ect) and interact with other people.


What an utter bunch of crap! I can't believe that people would rather stay inside and become some fake computer image rather than go and make something of themselves. I want to know what limp dicked losers use this program of their own accord.

I just signed up to complete this assignment, and I can't wait till it's over. In fact, I'm ready to destroy my computer its so pointless and frustrating. Are people so utterly bored with their existence that they need to create a second identity just to feel some fulfillment?

What ever happened to going out and meeting people? Playing frisbee in the park, or just going to the bar to hang out with friends. I mean, if you want to hang out with out your pants on, there are clubs out there for that too, but for crying out loud, get off your fat ass and do something that enhances your life.

What potential benefit does this give people, other than not having to interact with their fellow humans in a social setting? I understand the attraction of playing video games, I enjoy them from time to time myself, but why the mother truckin' hell do you want to create yourself again in another, unreal world?

Does it help you meet women? No! What possible substance would you find in someone who plays this game? A common interest, yes, or a lack of anything better to do, but it's obvious that neither are interested in sex, or they'd be out pursuing it with a real person instead of putsing around in their parents' basement working on their fake career.

Long and the short is I'm disgusted by anyone who uses this program for any period over 30 minutes. Perhaps I don't understand the "new age" technology or anything, but to anyone who would argue with me on this....


You can tell me the benefits or fun of this program, I'll tell you what vag*%# feels like.
