Adventures in Second Life

My Avatar PingWu was discovered by several very helpful female Avatars in the last week or so. PingWu has made some pretty interesting friends in the digital realm of Second Life.  After exploring around various placesand running into a bunch of a random motley crew avatars, groups of wild personas and creatures PingWu was watching the sunset when he was approach by a scantly clad vision of curves. She wiggled and danced in front of him. He complemented her on her dancing. She said thanks...and offered to have sex with him. This was a shock to him. Of course the next thing out of this beauty's chat was that it would cost him L$400. He laughed. A lot. She vanished. For one he had never had sex, but then for another he didn't know. Just when things seemed their weirdest one late nig

ht PingWu encountered a very pretty Avatar named Rapunzel Lionheart.

What a sweet lady. She befriended PingWu on a strange island and led him to wear he could get free clothes and other objects.  

 An interesting thing about her besides her helpfulness was her warning about vampires. 

The necklace she  wears is of garlic. PingWu had one encounter with a vampire, apparently he was tricked, 

and bitten. He did not accept 

turning and was not horribly affected. They chatted for a long while before they became friends and then parted. PingWu runs into her from time to time. She thinks it's very interesting that PingWu likes to wear a black T-shirt with a blood red bat on it.A long with PingWu's new free outfits he has been seen working out on the treadmill in a Fighting Gators Taekwondo Uniform.

 

PingWu meets Kristina Fireguard

Another wonderful new friend that PingWu made was that of a Avatar named Kristina Fireguard. Kristina Fireguard is a feisty female who PingWu encountered on the edge of an island where PingWu wound up exercising and shopping for a better quality outfit. She was brandishing sword and shield. When PingWu asked her to demonstrate some of her skill she started started whooping some serious ass!  

She seemed to know  her way around. She was willing to talk

 alot and was very friendly. She says she helped lots of people. 

She also knew that PingWu had encountered a vampire. Something about her made him very very curious.  

She offered to help him and then led him on an adventure.

 

He followed her by transport and he had no idea where 

he would end up. They conversed by chat at first, her advising him along the way. Shortly there after he was warned to only communicate by IM. This was extremely important. Ping

Wu can't say how she was able to lead him to the places he went, She did guided him to what he needed to find. 

He's very grateful. She likes him as well. She calls him Ping. He digs it. 

PingWu goes dancing.

PingWu was running one when he got a message from Kristina Fireguard. PingWu was able to talk to her but she was in a completely different location. She sent him a transporter. He accepted and was suddenly transported to a night club. The music was infectious!

 

The funk was being DJ'd with some pretty musicology

Kool and the Gang, Prince,  and Janet Jackson!!! The place was thumping. PingWu found himself dancing in a group of funkateers tearing up the dance floor.

There, there...There.com

Well, There.com is a funny little place. More of an illustrative or even cartoonish graphic style. There .com has been fun and can be just as tacky as Secondlife when it comes to people approaching with inappropriateness. It's a funny thing, actually...but people really do seem to let go of whatever it is that prevents them from blowing past their "filters"  and inhibitions in real life when it comes to their behavior in virtual spaces. 

My avatar's name is Firehorse94114.

 

I must say that I found some very helpful people in both worlds, but in There.com I was taken on some really cool adventures by one avatar owned by "Megan".  This lady knew where to have some fun and I rode shotgun with her on a few car adventures. I also had some cool things times with a few helpful avatars. 

I learned that some can be extreme. 

One avatar in particular barged in on me at the spa, gawked and gestured to me from a couch the whole time, saying the she really would like to help me since I am new and has decided that I am now her boyfriend,  that we should make this one really cool place I found our home, and that we should make out on the couch as much as virtually possible. 

Like Wow!  For real?

Well hot damn! 

More pictures coming soon

I am now premium, BABY!!

Alright! I just signed up for 3 months of premium membership in Second Life!  Let's get crazy!

ps. I don't like vampires in this place.

PingWu, My Second Life Pesona

My Second Life persona will be one of a Magical person in human form, named PingWu, who has been rumored to be able to turn himself into a dragon.  

Therefore, my virtual persona will be a dynamic individual who is very talented in the arts and highly skilled in the arts. 

He is also charming but can be very standoffish without regard. 

His appetite for the company of the opposite sex is feverish and his flirtation is downright devilish.

His phobias are of other magical creatures and tries to stay clear of them all.

What will he be like? Who will he encounter and influence?

#8. Features of Toontown (like you are really there)?

The best feature to me is one that I don't think most people, or at least kids, use.  To get a good immersive feeling from the game, hit the TAB button to switch your viewing position. You can cycle through 5 different viewing angles. 

The one I like the best is the 1st person angle. 

In this viewing angle  you cannot see your avatar because you view is from the avatar's perspective. This bar far gives the best immersive feeling in the game.

#11. The concept of “health” of each avatar, and how “health” managed and displayed

I found this particular arena to be a bit funky, but turned out to be kind of funny. Your avatar's health is displayed by a green head in the bottom left sector of the HUD. It has a big smile and your health points displayed in eyes. If you have a free account your points are at a low cap amount like 16. Further game play and subscribing will give you a larger cap, my daughter's is up to about 40. 

When you fight Cogs you are bound to lose a few points, this will be shown in your health indicators eyes along with a weird grin; however, if a heavy duty Cog kicks your butt and you lose too many points your avatar will display an extremely articulated depressed and droopy posture of classic cartoon attitude.

  This of course a visual means to make you motivate your avatar. You can go back to the playground and just hang around to slowly gain points, if someone clicks your name you will gain points, or you can find ice cream cones in your home area.

You can see anyones stats by clicking their name. It will be displayed in the top right sector of the HUD.

What was your favorite activity in Toontown, #16

My favorite activity is playing in the trolley games area. I like it because of the variety of games and the games are somewhat challenging at first. The cannon, RPG shooter and the treasure hunt are among my favorites in the game.

I like the idea of rewards in the game and if you get another player to go in with you then it becomes even more competitive. This adds to the excitement because if you are not careful and strategic, the other player will beat you.

Toontown is crazy!

I have been trying to run around and learn in this crazy little world... it's a little dizzifying!

Test, test, test

This is a test of my ability to do something I have never done before....Yeah, me.
