Second Life Diary - Week 3

Darth Nikitin Strikes Back!... A New Hope?... Attack of thevirtualclones

Okay that's all the SW related names I can think of, for now.

So back to my second life I go and I as I go with a fresh mind raring to experience new things and talk to new people I find myself taking a mission that sounds a bit strange from the beginning and... well, has no end!

I met a Buddha looking statue called Phatt. That's me with Phatt pictured below. He asked my name and I said "Hi, i'm Darth Nikitin, who the hell are?" Then he replied "Ah! Darth I've been expecting you. The volcano up this hill will erupt and kill us all unless you can convince Pele, the volcano goddess, otherwise. Great!"



Wow! I thought. What a way to start my second week, this should be fun, oh so fun!

So I ventured up this hill and found the volcano, but after searching, on land and in the air for Pele without any luck I decided to give up.

Then I started to talk to someone called Solice Sideways (pictured below). We mentioned the usual shaith like: Hi I'm new, How do I explore/get out of here and do something good? But I also told him of my all important mission that was still casting a dark shadow of guilt over my relatively bright second life day, at 01:00 Nottingham time....!
He agreed to help and we flew back over to the volcano and................ to cut a long story short we STILL couldn't find Pele.

To summarise I still don't like second life. I find it boring, but maybe that is because I haven't unlocked the door to explore all of it yet. Hopefully by the next diary entry I would have done this and therefore justifying (to some degree) that my time has been well spent.

Second Life Diary - Week 2

The mystical magical wondrous adventures of Darth Nikitin take place in a mystical magical wondrous world that is Second Life. I don't mean a word of that, I can't stand this program!!

I haven't been able to find anything interesting or do anything remotely useful in Second Life this week. Once again I have spent my time flying around and generally annoying anyone I can for some weird personal amusement/to take up my time.
It seems that I can't even meet up with anyone from the real world in there either. I tried this with Kez Beardmoore (Kez Whelan to us Earthlings) but it seems that we get put on different "worlds" that look/are mapped the same. As I spoke to someone who had the same problem, which confirmed my beliefs.

Next week I will read some of the tutorials to see if I can either find some new land, meet more people or at least people who haven't just arrived like I had or go about finding a gun and kill as many unlucky people as I can. I've been told you can do this by some people on MM. You think it's weird, but they're not real so there's no problem. >D

Second Life - Here I Am [Week 1]

Hello there,

Darth Nikitin is the name, alter-ego the game.
Finally signed-up to this virtual world to see what all the fuss is about.
So far I've spent some of the afternoon flying, falling, customising and chatting.
In comparison to vSide I much prefer it. Aside from better graphics it just feels like I'm using a much better/professional program.
Here are some screeny's I took while defying gravity and just chilaxing...


More of this to come...
