Ha! That's a good one.

Terrorists are using Second Life to recruit!

And what about the dolphin with breasts!

What was weird is that the show used their
own 3D program to create SL-type av's.

Lol! But, "Minotaur Imsocool" should have been named "Minotaur ImsoHawt" if they wanted to give it that boost of serious reality :)

That was pretty funny. The whole point of SL is imagination...I wasn't too keen on him mocking avatar choices.

It was funny...yes. But it gives people that don't know the wrong impression...or hell...maybe it attracts them. Who knows.

Funny.

2 possible reasons:
1) their graphics team used tools they were familiar with to get the result they wanted quicker
2) their legal team interprets the TOS copyright of ingame scenes to disallow their using SL-based machinima (which is the safe interpretation)

Makes me wonder if people on that show read the forums.

Brenda, did you give them that line?

Maybe that's why they are lowering the price of sims, expecting an influx of Al Qeda money. As to your other question, I am bound by an NDA so I can't say.

I watched the video, it was OK as a humourous sideways swipe at our world, I suppose.

But that presenter - what an intensely irritating man! Like I'd rather listen to GRROOOOWWWWLLSS and RRRRUUUGGBBBBAAAAA sound gestures for 10 minutes that that idiot!

It did seem that Jon was not at all 'unfamiliar' with Second Life ;)
