Virtual Sex 14 Hours A Day - Husband Lets Her

Malignant Narcissist @ January 31, 2008 # 2 Comments

I can’t actually watch Wonderland (I guess that tells you I’m not British), but it looks like the strangest of the strange from Second Life actually had a chance to be on “prime time” in the UK. From the story at the Telegraph website:
Wonderland (BBC2) has already established itself as a reliable source of strange […]

Sucks Comments Weekly Wrap-Up

Malignant Narcissist @ January 30, 2008 # 6 Comments

I decided to gather a few quotes from people saying how bad Second Life sucks, without really saying that it sucks. Looking at the amount of people saying things like this, and how often they are said, it’s really amazing how “this” site isn’t overflowing with frustrated Second Life residents. Here’s some random quotes from […]

Avatar Rights Are Not Human Rights

Malignant Narcissist @ January 29, 2008 # No Comment Yet

I should honestly start a web site called ProkofySucks.com, but I’m pretty sure that nobody would even care enough to read it. I’ll be removing her from my RSS reader, today, though, so this should be the last thing you hear from me about her. I’m honestly just sick of her constant whining about every […]

Second Life sucks Your Money

Hardware upgrades on Second Life seem to be another way that Linden Lab sees to screw their customers over. While upgrading from Class 4 servers to Class 5 servers, it looks like they will be able to save about 17% on the cost of actually “running” the newer hardware. I’m sure that the initial cost […]

Guess What! There’s Sex In SL!

Malignant Narcissist @ January 21, 2008 # 3 Comments

The fact that somebody tries to bring in a “real life”, serious group and use Second Life for communicating serious matters, and then feels responsible and even guilty for not telling the others that were brought in that there is… OMG!… sex in Second Life sort of makes you wonder how some people actually survive […]

Have They Even Been There Yet?

Apparently, launching streaming radio inside Second Life is on some sort of “new media initiative” list. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced a round of recipients of its Public Media Innovation Fund Program, which encourages experiments with emerging platforms.
They seem to think that people will log on to Second Life to come and visit their […]

Aren’t Bugs Wonderful?

Malignant Narcissist @ January 17, 2008 # One Comment

Torley Linden created a “quick and easy” video about how to report a bug in under 15 minutes (yeah… really easy). Sadly, Torley reported that the viewer was crashing and guess what… that’s been reported “soooooo” many times in the past, it isn’t even funny. Has it been fixed? No! Is it getting better? No! […]

Yankee Group is At It again

Malignant Narcissist @ January 17, 2008 # No Comment Yet

/me sighs
It looks like the Yankee Group is trying to make Second Life out to be a bunch of hype, again. I tried to leave left a comment on this story at Linux Insider, but maybe my mad emotions were a little too much, and kept them from publishing it. Maybe they just haven’t got […]

Are All Of The Original Ideas Gone?

Malignant Narcissist @ January 17, 2008 # One Comment

While checking out SLNN, this morning, I saw a post called “Second Life According to Hitler“. I will say that this adaptation was a little funny, so I’ve embedded it, here. The problem is that the people who made it, Magrathean Technologies, which is sort of a web design/SL transmorgafier took this idea from history. […]

SL Sucks Sucks?

Malignant Narcissist @ January 16, 2008 # No Comment Yet

I actually just had my first case of an online heckler. Not sure who it was, of course, because the pussy LL fanboy didn’t leave any real contact information, and I threw all 14 comments into the spam bucket. They all came from the same person in Europe (or possibly a proxy), but you can […]

They’ll Make You Famous, Then Tell You How Bad They Suck

Malignant Narcissist @ January 15, 2008 # 2 Comments

It’s very entertaining to see what’s posted on the Official SL Blog, today. First, it looks like they’re fishing for some story… any story, about something “good” in Second Life. They claim to have a “staggering” number of requests from media outlets for any kind of information on innovative uses of the platform. At the […]
