second life pros vs cons

Ok in our second class of what is essentially a second life class, we basically played second life however this time we were one the island that was setup for us. On this Island we built alot of interesting things, I built a sculpture using spheres and just slapped on a different texture, then I proceeded by trying to built a missile....because I can and I wanted to. Unfortunately I could not complete it because the UN came in and put a stop to it (stupid UN) I'm kidding! Although I would not be surprised if they setup their own place in Second Life and tried to stop me, and not the many countries that so freely produce them or have them *cough* USA *cough*

note: sorry for the late post sometimes people forget.

disapointment turns to promise.

Today's class in interactive storytelling was my first and although I was met with the disappointment that we will not really be studying storytelling in games in its literal sense. Instead we will be working entirely with Second Life in creating a town with everyone in the class contributing different things.
This is not a bad thing however because before our second life began (so to speak) we talked about many things that might change in the future including visualization of the world, video games and their impact on todays world. I was trying to contribute as much of my thoughts and opinions as possible. I am very passionate about story in games and its impact on the player, I think that games are basically the only medium that can be used to create creative story telling.
