Get a First Life Advises On What to Do with Pesky Bodies

It’s your world. Sorry about that, says the latest Second Life satire.

With all the ado about Second Life and everything we can do on the internet now, somebody just had to ask: what’s the world like outside the monitor?

Get a First Life answers that question in addition to other critical ones, like What’s this body thing, and what do I do with the dangly bits? Why can’t I build a dirigible with my mind? Penguins, spoons and you — what’s life like among the flightless? Even teens can get involved – in this zany analog world outside high-speed, you can experience the angst of gym class in real-time, get acne and experiment with recreational drugs.

Of course a service hawking the answers for these types of existential questions, including the one between the lines (that being, why is inet life so much catchier than a stroll in the park or a one-night stand?), can’t quite get away scott-free. There’s already mad bitchin’ going down about the problems with the game of First Life, like laggage. Granted there isn’t a server, so to speed up, users may just have to run.

When an older person says a plan or person “isn’t worth the energy anymore,” that’s rarely apathy talking; it’s usually a blunt but accurate description of how they’ve learned to spend a limited emotional budget
