To be honest i get yelled at when i call it a "game" while around people that are realy into it, they call it a "platformer".... I guess it isnt realy a game, more of a virtual world... games tend to have quests, goals, and battles and enemies... the enemy thing is optional in second life, but it dosnt realy have the rest
Its an interesting way to make new interesting friends, and trust me when i say that the furries arent what everyone makes them out to be, they are very interesting, and often I found them to be very funny and intelectual. ^.^
There are down sides to second life though... like griefers... but where I spend my time the most is a sim called Twilight Town, and I am one of the founders of that sim.. (It's roughly based on Twilight Town from Kingdom Hearts)... but since im an admin there i get to ban people for not following the rules and whatnot ^.^
