10 Sure Fire Signs You're Addicted to Second Life

by Robin Bloor on January 25, 2008

8. You believe that the tall leggy big-breasted blond chick you met last week in SL is actually tall or leggy or big-breasted or blond or a chick.

She’s not. It’s a spotty 13 year-old kid from Cincinnati and two of his friends, who have become bored with Halo3 and are learning how to talk dirty in real-time.

9. You think it’s possible to have sex in a virtual world.

No it isn’t, you idiot.

10. You think that SLA stands for Second Life Anonymous rather than Service Level Agreement?

There’s no easy way to put this, my friend, but for you it does. Well, we’re here to help you. At Second Life Anonymous (sorry, no web site) we have regular weekly meetings where each of us stands up and starts to tell the truth about our addiction…

“My name is Dildo Baggins and I’m a Second Life Addict. No wait. Is it Dildo? That may be my avatar’s name. Damn it!! I used the A-word. No. My name’s Robin, I think. Yes. Robin Baggins, or is it Robin Bloor? I get so confused.”

Two men in white coats appear to help him out.

“Here you are Mr Bloor. Just try this nice white jacket on. Look, we’ve taken that nasty computer away and canceled your Internet connection. Come with us. We’re going to take you to a nice secluded place where there are lots and lots of friendly people and you can a have a thoroughly enjoyable time basket weaving and making Teddy Bears.”
