Login2Life Documentary

by

You’ll be seeing the blogosphere for Second Life covering Login2Life, a documentary video that runs an hour and 26 minutes. This video starts in English and English is scattered throughout. It uses English subtitles where needed. About 87 minutes is in various languages. I think I hear; German, French, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, and …

This is at least ‘R’ rated… my opinion. Not pornographic. But, adult sex is a part of the documentary. It’s well handled.

Login2Life is not the fast paced videos I am used to seeing that Drax makes about Second Life. It is a little slow paced for me. But, this isn’t something to be squeezed into something like Drax’s 5 minute vignettes.

Check it out. Please watch it on YouTube and give it a thumbs up.

Yuzuru’s English is a bit broken. But, way better than my Japanese, which I don’t speak.

This is freeware. You can get it here: IDOBATA 2.
