Gemelle Fitzgerald is an avatar created on Second Life.
Gemelle's birthday on SL (Second Life) is December 27, 2006. However I did not fully activate her character profile until January 3, 2007.
When Gemelle was born, she had to travel through Help Island before she could arrive on the Mainland of Second Life. She made a friend named Jimi while on Help Island and they had a lot of fun together exploring Help Island for a couple of hours. It was difficult for both of them to get used to the navigation controls of Second Life, but it's more fun when you've got a friend. As of the writing of this post, Jimi has unfortunately left the game of Second Life.
Second Life is a difficult game to begin playing. A really good graphics card and fast computer is required to truly experience this game. I waited until I got a new laptop with 2GB of memory before starting up Second Life.
I saw Second Life being advertised as the game of the future on TV before getting myself into this game. On TV, I heard of Anche Chung, the first Millionaire from this game. Her success truly inspired me to start the game. Hence Gemelle Fitzgerald was born.
Second Life is the first game I've played that encourages its users to use their creativity to earn Linden Dollars that can be converted into REAL US DOLLARS! I've played many MMORPG games and earning real money can get tricky, sticky, and messy. But in Second Life, it's an open market.
I plan to use this blog to record and publish Gemelle's experience in Second Life. At the time of this blog entry, I have been playing Second Life for three and a half weeks. Within 3.5 weeks, Gemelle Fitzgerald owns 8 pieces of 512 land. She owns a 3-story glass house with a pet play land, a jacuzzi, 2 virtual pets, LOTS of expensive clothing and jewelry, and of course, Gemelle has made many friends.
In Second Life, one day of game time will feel like one week in RL (Real Life).
If you have a chance to play, do try out Second Life. Once you get past Help Island, feel free to visit my home in SL.
