I was trying to browse some nice rooms when I accidentally clicked on the chat now button and unexpectedly met a filipina girl who is also into online games and taking online college courses. It turned out that she just signed up and created her own RPG 3D Avatar. I invited Red Butterfly over to the room to meet her. We were in her basic penthouse and she asked if we had other rooms and I said yeah. I asked Red Butterfly to switch rooms and then we took her for a short mountain drive as we were heading to the other side of the island to Red Butterfly’s beach house. (more…)

Thursday, November 13th, 2008The Virtual World and Environment
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008Before I go to the topic about my avatar, I would like to talk about the Virtual World and environment in which my Avatar will become a virtual citizen of. If there are different types of Online Degree Programs, There are also a lot of virtual games and environment that you could choose from, either from single player and multi player games, realms, or chat softwares that includes a virtual environment and simulation games, otherwise known as RPG interface. There’s The SIMS with a lot of extensions and you can install in your machine and run with or without the net connection, there are also online multiplayer games with simulation environments and interactive 3D chat software fully loaded with so many features that you can install and run just like There, Kaneva, Secondlife, and IMVU. And in my case I have tried most of them but have settled with IMVU, a continously growing online network and Virtual world. The Avatars in IMVU are 3D and more detailed than the other counterparts most especially when it comes to skins, eyes, and even the rooms and clothes, etc. I have had my other Avatar for about a year now, but for the sake of this blog and for a new beginning, I have signed up for a new account and created a new Avatar named awakekoholic.
The First Journey Towards Virtual Reality
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008If getting a degree online has an enrollment process, the first step in becoming a part of the Virtual World is to create your own virtual entity. It could be a reflection of yourself in real life, a character that you desire to become, or a role that you’d like to portray in any online games, may it be RPG, MMORPG or what have you. A virtual entity otherwise known as Avatar. An avatar is the 3D pseudo physical representation of yourself and your existence in the world of virtual reality. Some create themselves into monsters, some into bots, some into elves, vampires, heroes, etc. But I chose to remain in the realm of humans. A real life avatar as what they call it. Human in form from head to toe, only an animated representation of yourself. Well, we can’t deny that not all human avatars are real life avatars, or a reflection of the owner in the real world. You are given the option to make your avatar good looking, sexy, perfectly proportioned from head to toe, or to look like any celebrity that you dream to be. Most virtual citizens choose to be those perfect characters, most especially those who dream to become famous, and some to fulfill their frustrations in real life. But still, it’s different when you make or customize your own real life avatar. Because that way, you get to experience the best of virtual world like experiencing it in real life, because you get to see a 3D reflection of you in every scene. In my next post I will be posting photos of my virtual entity aka avatar.
