I am an avid gamer, but don't get the massive online worlds thing - either Warcraft or Second Life. Or any of the others. I agree, though, that Clay is bang on. Make it as immersive as real life and we may be on to something. I consider myself lucky -- hundreds of hours of my life are at stake here :) I am relieved.

On the show Wife Swap they had a woman who cared more about her "virtual family" than anything else, neglecting her real family. Don't these Second Lifers know how to smoke pot?
