A Noob’s Rants

   On Wednesday I joined two second life groups which were MSI Fans and World of Warcraft Players.  It’s been a few days and I have yet to get notices from either group.  I’m pretty surprised that at least the WoW group hasn’t sent out anyting considering there are a lot of members, but I assume they aren’t that active.  Neither group has any land and no recent proposals to get any.

I joined the two groups because they were things that interested me.  MSI is one of my favorite bands so I thought it’d be neat to see other players who liked them too.  And for the WoW group I figured it it’d be interesting to see how many players played both Second Life and WoW.

I am hesitant to go talking to a lot of random people because the people I have met so far in Second Life have been kind of creepy to be honest.   But maybe I will meet one who is friendly and enjoys chatting about group topics.  Hopefully I’ll have updates to this post if I ever receive notices.

I really liked getting to know about the origins of video games. I never knew the guy who made Mario made Zelda too, and that at first he wasn’t interested in gaming at too. It was just what was in his imagination. I wish I could come up with an idea that would be make me millions of dollars. Also, the way the people of Atari ran their business seemed like a dream job. It was the kind of place you’d look forward to going every day because they were so laid back, at least at first. It’s amazing to think  that kids several years younger than me taught themselves to program and design games that made a good amount of money.  I know nothing about programming but hopefully this seminar class can help me out a bit.
