Second Life
Jag spelar nästan ingenting jämfört med mina datorspelande kompisar. Det blir lite dansspel, eller nu senast ett pusselspel. Den största anledningen är att det helt enkelt inte finns spel som intresserar mig. I snart över ett år har jag sneglat lite på Second Life, som består av en 3D-värld som spelarna själva bygger och programmerar, inte helt olik Metaverse från boken Snowcrash.
Spelet är varken fritt eller gratis, även om du med ett gratiskonto kan vandra omkring i världen utan att kunna bygga egna saker. Sedan några månader finns en Linuxversion och Windowsversionen sägs även fungera under Wine. Mitt grafikkort visade sig dock vara för långsamt, så jag kan ändå inte spela det, trots att jag nu är väldigt sugen. Anledningen är den underbara berättelsen om professorn och fjärilen, konsten att bygga en solförmörkelseupplevelse.

Translation for Aimee (the butterfly):
Second Life
I play almost nothing compared to my computer playing friends. Some machine dance, and recently a puzzlegame. The biggest reason is that there are just no games that interest me. For about a year I have glanced at Second Life, which is a 3D world that players themselves build and program, not wholly unlike Metaverse from the book Snowcrash.
The game is not free (as in freedom or beer), although with a free account you can walk around the world without being able to build things. A few months ago a Linux version was released and I have been told that the Windows version works with Wine. My graphics card turned out to be too slow, so I can’t play it anyway, even though I really want to now. The reason is the wonderful story about the professor and the butterfly, the art of creating a solar eclipse experience.

For reference, this is the translation that SYSTRAN came up with:
Second Life
I play almost nothing compared with my computer playing buddies. The becomes little dance playing, or now last a puzzle playing. The biggest reason is that the entirely simple do not exist playing that interest myself. In soon over a year has I sneglat little on Second Life, that comprizes a 3D-värld as the players the actual builds and programs, not entirely different Metaverse from the beech Snowcrash.
The playing is neither free or free of charge, although you with a free of charge account can habit drawing about in the world without can to build own things. Since some months exists a Linuxversion and Windowsversionen is said also function during Wine. My grafikkort showed itself however to last for slow, sows I cannot nevertheless play the, despite that I now is hugely the draws. The reason is the wonderful statement about the professor and the butterfly, the art to build a solförmörkelseupplevelse.

When I eventually join Second Life after getting a more powerful computer, I will come and visit you.
