Half Life
Tonight I signed up for a Half Life account. I do not really have time to get involved in a giant online role playing universe, but I am doing it for some research I am conducting for a character I am writing. The character plays Half Life, so I need to know a lot more about it and the best way to learn is to get right in there and get involved.
I am barely stumbling around the orientation island, or whatever it is called. I have no idea how to get off. I can fly, but I keep landing in water and I was lucky to get my appearance changed. I’m not going to spend any money, so I assume I will not be getting any of the cute fox heads and sparkly lingerie I see other characters wearing.
EDIT: As I looked back over this today and looked at the comment by Hannes, I realized I’d made a massive mistake that changes the entire meaning of this post. I did not sign up for Half Life. I signed up for Second Life. Vastly different. Again, it is for research for a character, but I sure do need to pay more attention. Second Life is a free-for-all online RP game. Half Life is an award-winning first-person shooter game. Half Life takes skill. Second Life appears to just require an awful lot of free time.
Research is always important. I haven’t played Half Life so I can’t give you any tips on that
I’ve only played Counter-Strike (which is based on Half Life) a little bit.
But it looks like you pasted the blog post twice – or maybe I’m just seeing double
Heh.
I did paste that in twice. I’ve been composing in Word, because Wordpress does wonky things to my line returns sometimes if I type directly.
Thanks for catching that.
