Get a Second Life
I’m kinda obsessing over massive multiplayer online games lately. Reading a bit about game never ending (the game flickr was extracted from) i suddenly remembered to check out second life and noticed that they are giving away free basic accounts until july 13th, so now’s a good time to join.
Also, some second life- and mmog-related reading: Second Life and the virtual property boom, Virtual World Business Brands: Entrepreneurship and Identity in Massively Multiplayer Online Gaming Environments, Wage Slaves.
