Why do I want to listen to a poli that left his dieing wife for his mistress and thumps issues the conservative way?

Oh elite what a world you all live in.

In related news;

Second life is experiencing the world's first recorded "pixel shortage" as the Newt Gingrich character devours and absorbs every last drawing block available. When asked for comment Second Life players responded with;

"Who the HELL names their kid Newt"?

The man that blamed video games and scary holloween costumes for the virgina tech shooting appering on second life,this should be interesting.

The guy who declared the internet a series of glass tubes and pipes.

@Coyote

Senator Ted Stevens (R, Alaska) described the internet as "a series of tubes."

it wasn't Newt "I'm against every immoral sin while i'm not commiting them" Gingrich.

@Conejo

Um yeah, thanks. I knew that. I was merely answering the question "Who said Newt was relevant" with MY answer.

Wow Second Life is really popular I must say :) .

This is a notice for every SL user out there. Get your flying phallus launchers and get ready for the fun.

Or better yet, virtual egg in the virtual face!

That's because SL isn't as ground-breaking and expansive as they say it is.

It's a laggy, poorly programmed, constantly crashing, pr0n-filled, furry-filled, glitchy excuse for an MMO. It's revolutionary if you rewind about 10 years when everyone thought we'd be browsing the internet in big VR helmets.

Theoretically, the idea is solid. Create a virtual version of yourself and explore a digital world all created by players. The problem is that most of the players are juvenile or unwilling to learn how to use the game's building and scripting tools (only a select few can actually use the scripting to their full advantage)

So, unless you find a nice niche area with a group of people you can tolerate you'll find yourself wandering through either extremely empty or extremely laggy/overpopulated areas while 12 year olds pretending to be 21 year olds shoot at you with weapons that break the ancient physics engine SL uses causing your program to crash and you to spend an extra 20 minutes trying to figure out wtf to do as you watch your avatar flail through empty space.

you also seem to miss the whole point of SL its not a game in the common sense, its more a 3D chat program where you can add your own stuff and walk it around the world, I don't think of it as a game but as a 3D forum.

Newt… Not!...

This short video of Newt Gingrich’s appearance in Second Life shows him effectively deflecting a question that he was asked. He thinks that “companies” (specifically IBM) should be the one’s answering the question “How can...
