Second life diary 2

Over the last few days I've been playing with Second life, and frankly its getting a little draining. It seems theres only so much you can do without investing money to the company, and I certainly dont have the funds to do that. Sop I decided today, to go looking around for different objects, items and interesting things I could interact with.



The first thing I was to do was to start using the interaction menu by right clicking on vasrious objects. This allows the user to stand, sit, or interact in a way that suits the object. When walking around one particular site, I found a stage with a drum kit, in whcih the user could interact with each individual drum, something I want to encorporate into my design for the 3d interactive box.



I have also found that pretty much anything in second life can be played around with in some form, which is atonishing with the size of the environment. For example I found a small shack, in which the user could close the doors and open them as they felt sutied what they wished to do, then stay in here for as long as they wanted.



I also found some rather fun stuff to doin this section of second life. For example when travelling up the river, I found some white water rapids, in whcih wou could purchase a rubber ring and ride on them whenever you wished. I did not purchase a ring, but it may have been a fun excersise to interact with.



Also today, I found a relaxation place, where your second life character could sit and relax on seats and cushions, watching the waves in the sea.:)



I managed also today to find a port, where if paid, your second life characters can take a cruise around the island, stopping at numerous places.

Finally, I found some crazy textured flooring, in an unsecured house today. The flooring was opaque, and bright green, intersting indeed.



Ha ha and almost forgot. I sat on a cows head:D
