Wow. Now that's dedication.
Second Life is a virtual reality game that's intriguing for its technical capabilities and graphics, but there's not really much to 'do' on there. I tried it out for a bit - you create an identity on there and can get jobs, own property, open businesses, build homes, etc. It gets dull really quickly unless you know how to build virtual objects and/or use Photoshop, both of which I am far too technologically retarded for.
It's all free unless you decide to get obsessive and buy all kinds of property and virtual goods. There are people that buy islands for $1000, or pay over $200 per month in membership fees. INSANITY.
I think I own a tavern on there haha. But I haven't logged onto it in months.
