Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

THE FIRST RULE OF SECOND LIFE IS TO NOT DISCUSS THE HORRIBLE SHIT IN SECOND LIFE
Second Life
What is Second Life?
Second Life is a 3D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents. In Second Life, you can essentially build whatever you can think of. There are plenty of ingame tutorials dedicated to helping newbies learn the ropes. For instance, the original Penny Arcade store we had in-game had a Fruit Fucker fountain, expelling its juice down upon visitors.
Will I have to pay a monthly fee?
Only if you choose do. You start with a free account. If you choose to upgrade, you will then be moved into the pay to play area, where you now have access to buying/selling land to sell your creations. You can, if you choose, to bum around like me for free (bumming in SL since 2002!)
Is there a Penny Arcade group?
Yes and no. The group still exists, but most people in it have moved on to other groups. The Fancy Lads, another group, were created for the sole purpose of touring the SL landscape, in tuxedos, monocles and tophats, experiencing the world while speaking in quazi-Victorian English. FL is still around as well, and once again, mostly dead, but I have a leadership position in it, so therefore can invite people, unlike the base PA group. If one of the PA group's leaders shows up in this thread, then they can most certainly invite you.
Will you show any screens of the game?
No, because I don't think I could do the game any justice in just a couple of screens, seeing how there is a wide variety of landscapes that have been created. The game is essentially the internet, in 3D. Plus, all my screenshots in Photobucket seem to have gone missing. I could've posted a pic of Orikae in his huge pink sombrero, but alas.
If you want access into the Fancy Lads, contact Dedagn Bismark, or if I'm not online, just leave your name here.

Hell, there is more roleplaying in this game than in many MMORPGs I've played.
Kinda. Friend of mine that's a really talented builder sculpted a bunch of alien bug creatures that look al ot like zerg, and planted them around a sim.

Fine, whatever.
Wii U and 3DS Codes
So what happened? Were they programmed to run amuck in a little area where people could fight them?
There's this Lady Justice statue with a big-ass rifle and Sam Fischer goggles, though.
Naw, just a bunch of bull shots. There were around 90 prims {prims are objects. Like 1 prim might be a cube or something like that}, so it will be way too complex to make it move without it looking horrible or breaking.

Sculpted prims. I can't really explain the tech part of it myself, cause it's a bit over my head and I'm half asleep, but there are a lot of help articles that go through and explain how they work and such.
I didn't sculpt that beast either, a friend of mine did. I did sculpt the kitty on its face, though. It gives a good contrast on how shitty some builds can be, and how amazing others can.

Indeed!

This became apparent when my pants vanished.
Send me a message if you want my name is Omega Otsuzum
Dammit Echo, where'd you go? I was going to ask you to pick a random sim to port to.
EDIT: Wee crash and can't login for 5 minutes. D:
Gnubie Store is a good first stop for newbies. All the stuff there costs one SL buck.
Btw, should we add a list of all the users/usernames into the OP?
I play as "Kyder Ling".
How about that help center landmark thing, everyone has it by default and should be easy enough to find for everyone.
Done. Or will be in a minute.
Edit: Damn update, otherwise I'd have the right last name for Echo's character.

People were asking in a G+T thread for another GO, so I just posted it in the same section I was in.
Worth a download?
It's kind of like a Carnival of oddities having a good time. It's funny and fun as hell. At least from my experiences. :^:
I recommend at least testing it out.
I got this, and from memory it was either due to my ATi video card or Vista. The SL forums had a fix.
edit: Ha, it was due to both! Problem description here, fix is getting new drivers from here.
Old PA forum lookalike style for the new forums.
How do I do that and where should I go?
:^:
I have neither of those. =/
