For those of you who don't know already, Second Life is some big virtual world.

Now, first off I want to say if you spend hours at a time in "Gary's Mod" or "SourceForts" on Half-Life 2 this game might suit you well.

There's no goal. You just do whatever the hell you want. The kicker is the game is user-created. Like, the developers made a plot of land and a few spawn points and then let people build whatever they want.

So, the game has an in-game modeler and scripting language. Yeah, sounds confusing? Well it's not really. The modeling is pretty simple and you can just use premade scripts if you don't want to learn the language.

So, any ways. You get crappy online money to use, right? I think you get $50 a week + the $250 you start with. Don't worry, you can make money in-game (I made like $30 for being in a dance club for 10 minutes =P)

You can upload textures, pictures, sounds and crap for your stuff.

Awesome "game." =)




(If you do sign up, please use that banner link - It will use me as a referrer, and I will get some virtual cash for referring you to the World! =] )

If enough people sign up, I would be more than willing to shuffle out the virtual cash to make a virtual "BYOND" group. That way we could have group chats, BYOND titles, etc.

Also, there is no way around having to input Credit Card information - it is used to verify the age of players. If you are under 18, you will need a parent's Credit Card to make an account.

I no longer get anything from signing up using that link, so don't bother :) Still try SecondLife though, it's neat!

It's a Half-Life 2 modification, where you can build stuff on-the-go. Uses the same physics, textures, and other nifty things. You need to buy Half-Life 2 via Steam or on retail to play Garry's Mod.

Want to make an account for me with your credit card? I dont think I could get the card numbr anyway they usually block it out and when you goto edit make you type it in again.

Tell your mom to use her OTHER credit card.

In response to Dession
She uses her one debit card. No credit company would touch her with a 500 yard long pole after we pwned them with that thar' bankruptcy.

Heh, this sounds exactly like what I was thinking would be a good idea to make.


But a credit card number? Now that's crap, why do you need to be 18 or over? I'm not up to date on how people can screw over credit cards, but do you know if they'd require additional information to charge it? Like the date or something? I'd like to know that for sure I'm going to get screwed if I sign up.

IMO, don't worry about it - SL has been around for years and has been featured on various news sites dozens of times. If still in doubt, do a little Googling around and see if there's been anything fishy going on of which I am unaware. =)
