   Virtual Lawyers & Police...LOL

   Way to go Clive... watch out for the virtual lawyers in Second Life they may try to claim that because you made it in their game they own it... I read an article on here a while back about how someone hacked the game to gain property and they killed his account and he sued them or something. Watch out they may kill your account and try to claim original copyright to it... J/K But does sound like something they would try to do since I heard that last article... You would think the people at Second Life would want to make it more like real life and build virtual police to try and enforce the rules...LOL

   Re: Virtual Lawyers & Police...LOL

   One of the main points of Second Life however is that anything you create is YOUR own intellectual property and the scenario you mentioned above. Though, based on what you said didn't they enforce the rules by deleting the hacker's account? :)

   I've heard lots of good things about Second Life recently, I'm going to give it a try soon.

   Duality from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas? That game was great!! It should be made as a game outside of the game.

   Bah, your full of crap. Second Life expelled a hacker, not a content creator. Get your facts straight before post this kind of crap.

   Game developing.

   My mother and I have been game developers for a few years now. I've learned a lot from different games I've played along the way. We've learned from software what is capable and are always continuing in development of any and all aspects of gaming. This is something my mother has devoted her life to through wanting to create a gaming environment for the blind. We learn from everywhere we go. She's currently taking more college courses to try to learn more about it.

    Game Within A Game?

    How come no one has ever released "Ship Chip Lander"??
    
    Now THAT'S a game within a game. (Myst, or was it Cosmic Osmo?)

    Blitzball?

    Blitzball? Bah. That was nothing on Tetra Master from FFIX. Of all games within games that was by far the BEST ever!
    
    H**l I played that more than any other "Main" game out there.
    
    well there's my two cents

    Tringo GBA is already out

    The GBA version of Tringo has been on sale for a couple of weeks. Here's a link to it on Amazon.com... Tringo GBA at Amazon
    In regards to that laywer thing mentioned at the top... the guy actually found a backdoor that let him circumvent the land aution system and he was able to pick up a heap of land for next to nothing. So apparently LL banned his account and recovered the land. Still ongoing AFAIK.

    Tringo

    If you create something within a virtual world, what is the fuss about reproducing it in the real world. I saw this on Google, and don't understand what the big deal. If if is a big deal, the article did not explain it so that non technically savvy people like me comprehend why.

    Re: Tringo

    The fuss is that apparently this is the first time an original game was created in a virtual world, and then moved to the real world. Plus the fact that it was only possible because content creators in SL retain the IP to their work, which is something no other MMO has allowed to happen.

    question for the online role-playing gamers:
    
    are your online characters overwieght, sweaty-palmed virgins losers too?
