Hey SL citizens,

I just wanted to let you all know, PC Gamer's Podcast mentioned Second Life on one of it's episodes (I think episode 10 or 11). It wasn't so much an actual topic that was pre-considered, but an answer to a community question. The question was: do you know of any free MMOs.

I realize (along with PC Gamer) that SL isn't an actual MMO, but nonetheless the editors of PC Gamer brought up SL as an alternative. They didn't really give it huge props, but they didn't say anything negative either. However, any press is good press. The truth is, it is from this podcast that I came to be here in the first place. I'm sure there were many like me that heard about it, and joined at the same time.

Ah, why oh why do the servers have to be down for another hour and a half?!?

Yeah, that's what I've always thought; it's just not an MMOG.

Ok, excuse the typo--they said it's not an MMO in the sense it's not an MMORPG. There arn't any RPG aspects to it. I thought that was clear...sorry.

It was, we're just being picky 'cause the grid's down and we've got nothing better to do. :p

Michael Jackson might have something to say about that... :)

So long as we continue to call SL a non-game, PC Gamer will be forced to increase their blaséity. Not my problem.
