Going over them one by one, here are my questions:</DIV><BR />1. Is voice chat really that compelling? Can we imagine the chaos of a room full of people all talking at once?<BR />2. Smoother graphics, but where are all the furries, animals, elves, etc.?<BR />3. If you want good vehicle physics, wouldn't you just go play a regular game instead?<BR /><DIV>4. Where is this guy hanging out where ALL he hears is obnoxious sex talk? Send me the link!</DIV><BR />Anyway, I'm only having a reaction to this guy's contention that these are the reasons There is 'better' than SL. I think he probably had the typical newbie experience, didn't know where to go, what to do, didn't meet the good people right away, got impatient, and left in a tiff. Chime in with your comments on the above; let's see if we can change some outlooks!</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D30A5870-7EE2-4014-A8CA-73B0A6393874/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
