Who's checking this out?
It seems to be basically a browser-based Second Life run by Google. I'll probably check it out for a few days, then drop it like every other thing I've done.

    I think it's pretty cool.

    Google does IMVU. Waaaaaaaaah. I have been looking at this all day today, and the news has left the team excited but despondent. This sort what I am doing as a job, a very similar 3D Virtual Chat, only browser-based. But what is Emily compared to the might of Google? I have a lot to say about this, but I better start making more 3D furniture, as I am the only artist on the project and my future is at stake. But still, hope shines through. There is no Mac version (yet).

    Is this taking forever to load for everyone or just me?

    Seems very Metaverse-ish if you've been reading Snow Crash...

    It crashed on me, but I had a bunch of shit open.

    Alex made a reference to Snow Crash in one of our Specs at a meeting. I was happy.
    This is more like IMVU than Second Life, I think. I like this sort of thing. If you guys get into it, we should make a Geeknights hang out room.

    Alot of people are having trouble getting in. Apparently, google fucked it up bad.

    Its slow. I wasn't really expecting Source engine speeds, but its slower than I thought it would be.

    EDIT: It has really sped up for me, So I'm making a Virtua Geek Haus. (That's Virtua as in Virtua Fighter. Its not a misspell.) Its a public room but it's not in the directory so that link is your way in.

    I noticed. It looks great! Did you notice the comment on the bed?

    Edit: The Tv now plays Useless Animals Episode 1. Enjoy!

    It won't let me pick Apreche as my ID because it is taken. Who took my ID? Whoever it was, fuck you.
  • Victor FrostVictor Frost
    But you got it in the end.
  • La Petit MortLa Petit Mort
    It showed as apreche.
  • AprecheApreche
    Good enough I suppose.
  • Double ZDouble Z
    Apparently every single variation of Double Z is already taken, what gives?
  • La Petit MortLa Petit Mort
    Overall, this thing needs work.

    Well, its brand new. I'm gonna stick with it for now and make the room better. Hopefully the service will improve overtime as well.
  • La Petit MortLa Petit Mort
    I'll check once it's better.

    That looks pretty god damn lame. It's just another game-without-the-game.
  • RailithRailith
    I like it because it's Animal Crossing without the shit. I hate it because it's buggy and kinda boring.

    If you get rid of the "shit," there's no reason to play Animal Crossing. It's just two cartoons instant messaging. Why not just IM each other without the shitty gimmick?

    This is the 2nd time in 2 days! First this, then Instant Action! :(

    Here's hoping for a Mac-compatible version by the time all the kinks have been worked out.
