Entertainment in secondlife By: Murrell Louis Smith

In Second Life, a massively multiplayer online videogame for the computer, there are many many things to take part in. One of them is entertainment, and that is what all videogames are theoretically geared to. Even in all it's vastness, entertainment and having fun is the activity that the majority of players take part in the most and it is safe to say that Second Life's main focus is to entertain. Focusing on this key activity, of entertainment, there are many things to do in the game, the possibilities are nearly endless. In certain ways the senses are being used exactly the same as in real life , but of course not all the senses are being used even though the interactions themselves are genuine during gameplay. So to be more precise, there are ten pastimes that people do in real life to entertain themselves and there are ten in Second Life also, the differences are the activities themselves, how people participate in these activities, and how they react making up the specific behavior during these activities.
