Anti-AFK chairs: Harder to stay in than it sounds! July 6, 2008

I went in-world yesterday, bored and looking to do something. Somehow I made my way to club Eutopia. I was standing outside the club, unsure of how the crowd would be. Hearing my fears, my friend Tianna came to the club with me, and after a bit of difficulty I learned how cool it was to dance in 3D when you can’t dance in real life!

So that’s when the money chairs caught my attention. “12 L$ per 30 minutes!”, they cried. I thought of how much more money that would be, and then I learned they were anti-AFK chairs. Which in theory sounded pretty good, and eventually Tianna and I sat down.

Bored in TSL, I read in real life. A bit later I looked up to see that my avatar was standing on the bar I had been sitting in front of. Discouraged, I decided to head back to the Pinkwater Mall, where at least I could earn some L$.

Besides my avatar deciding she didn’t want to stay seated, I realized that checking other screens on my computer is all but a necessity for me. Checking real-world IMs, reading on the web, playing music…even when I’m really playing TSL, I still minimize the screen quite a bit. Ah well, at least I gave virtual clubbing a try, right? :)
