I've been playing Second Life on a regular basis in this summer. Yes, the weather has been really bad in real life, so I needed to get away! Actually it's more correct to say 'I've been living Second Life (SL)', because SL is not a game but literally a Second Life that exists on an online 3D interface.
Of course, there's a strong 'game'-like nature in it...
The fascinating aspect of this type of interface is that it allows you to create 'another you', or 'new you'.It can be based on your real identity or it can be something totally different from who you are.
Anything is possible, and nothing is impossible. It's an absolute fantasy!
Creating or altering another ego, and living and exploring through it can really awaken your senses, imagination and creativity. On top of that, this experiment can definitely leads us to self-discovery : finding out about our true selves that we've never known before.
Looking back on, I think that was the most frequent question I asked to myself as a teen. 'who the heck am I?'

Wow great post. You should talk more about this in class--For some reason we tend to hear more about Second Life as a concept instead of how people experience the world when they're in it..I'd love to know more. Good for you...I still am not happy about the weather, though :(
