The above image shows my avatar, Squeege8, flying in a location in the virtual world created in Second Life. In order to create my avatar, I went to the Second Life Website and selected my avatar from a bunch of choices. I liked the outfit and shoes for this particular avatar so I chose this one. Next, I had to use a name. To be extra cautious, I decided to go with my nickname, Squeege, as opposed to using my real name online. To my shock, Squeege was already taken, which just goes to show how large of a user base Second Life has. After downloading the application, I started playing around in Second Life. It has really cool features and the worlds seem incredibly realistic. I have the free version which has limitations such as having no house. I'm still able to do things such as chat, and theres even a window that displays chatting options with all the people in your nearby vicinity. I also really like flying because it looks incredibly realistic. I get why the virtual world is called Second Life.
This is pretty cool Squeege!
