Samsung has revealed it is launching a new software which enables users to run Second Life on a smartphone. Oh, joy

i like the girl holding the phone, but not the game.

the ONLY time i've even heard of second life is when i went to IBM in Hursley, where they demonstrated giving a lecturing via second life.

the game i want to see ported onto mobile phones is games such as Audiosurf or Geometry wars, those would be great.

I tried second life 5 years ago. didn't really like it. tried it again a few months ago. it kind of looked the same to me as it did back then. and i still didn't really like it.

My first life (AFK) is good enough, why would I need to try and escape it by going into Second Life?

I tried second life a few times over the last few years. and each time the downloading and installing of the software lasted longer than the actual time i managed ingame before i became very bored.

I have been using PC's since i was 11 or 12 and have a "natural" ability to use programs and play games without reading the manuals. but with second life i just didnt "get it". Maybe i was expecting more than just running round aimlessly but there didnt seem a awful lot to do.
I would compare it with going to a rather large shopping centre with no money

Second life = dull.

Played it with a freind, and all we could find we're all related to porn, nakedness, stripping, dancing, masters and sex slaves.

All in all its boring ( well it was funny pissing people off, but what a dull game! )

Just running around, to run around, sure you can pay for a house and stuff, but its just not a very good looking game, let alone a fun one!

those girls in the picture are hot. Oh ..right.. Second Life.. ha.. I'm totally not interested in this game.. Though I am impressed on the 3D-ness from the picture ...anyway good article, Joe!

is it a game? i thought for something to be a game it had to be fun, to at least one person

Great. Now 15 year old girls will be able to run their digital brothels during algebra class.

so all those beautiful models i have been talking to are in reality fat men in underwear eating cheetos?

my first life is enough for me, and when a game starts looking more like a chore i tend to leave it behind....
