For those that make a game a second life... err get a life?

Considering one of those persons who make games in Second Life is now making loads of cash because the game was a hit and was ported to one of the Nintendo platforms...

isn't that just like station camping?

What is a life, anyway? One can hang out with friends people consider "geeks", go do "geeky" things and be told to "get a life". But who gets to decide what a "life" is?

Honestly, if your life A) makes you happy and B) does not fuck with mine, your life is a life you enjoy, one that others can be happy that you enjoy. Life, in the biological sense, is too short to care about what "life" is.
