Second Life.

Secondlife is the place to be, "Beautiful" graphics, "Beautiful" clothes, "Beautiful" people. Oh who am I kidding? It's the most unrealistic, overexaggerated far-fetched game I have ever laid my eyes upon.

So I'm currently studying games in my Media lessons and I had the unfortunate delight of studying this game as a case study!

Reasons you should play this game-You actually have to spend lots of money to make yourself pretty.
- It's built on a city of lies
- You can play as a vegetable
-Girls? You can have those really big boobs you never had.
-Guys? The same applies to your package ;)
-It's full of sex pests and child abuse
- Infact no, you can do ANYTHING you want to on this game.

So, this game promotes a stimulation for realism, however you can fly in this game, you can be a vampire in this game, you can act out your darkest desires! (64 year old men, I point my finger towards you). Oh, remind me again how this promotes realism?

This game adds to one of many reasons of what is wrong with the world. You can have virtual sex, commit rape,  and commit sexual acts towards animals as well as children in this game. Now, I know it sounds like I'm generalising here, but I do understand that many games have their flaws such as 'Habbo Hotel'. It was recently discovered that Habbo Hotel was hot by paedophile grooming. As a teenage I played this game a lot and it still shocks me that it was only recently a scandal, this has been going on for years. Step up your game people.

Games such as Secondlife and Habbo Hotel lay out bad morals. Such as becoming an online criminal, When I used to play Habbo Hotel, I played with my friends and we would scam people out of game furniture which you had to pay real money for. I can argue however that times have changed and now know that commiting these crimes in real life, would probably get me a one way ticket to prison.

Back to Secondlife....

So there is no real comparison between Secondlife and Habbo Hotel, Secondlife promotes more dangers and deffinatly promotes bad morals for young people. You can buy some pretty prococtive clothing, and even people as young as 8 can wear them. Could you really imagine an 8 year old wearing this?
People have even gotten married on this game, people who are that passive, need to get a grip and re-evaluate their lives. You could go out and get some real confidence or just spend the rest of your pitiful life having fake relationships and then cry into your empty Ben&Jerries when they break up with you.

Overall I beleive this is one of the most dullest, immoral, damaging, melodramatic, corrupted games I think I will ever see being played. It isn't even worth the words I used to describe it.

Good day to you all!
