This seems pretty cool. God, I swear Google will own the Earth in the not-so-distant future.

So, let's see some cool room designs!

looks like pedo-furry-TheSims

I tried. Really. But it is so fucking klunky and boring that I quit before even taking a screenie.

Conceptually: smarmy white cat with jaunty French cap on island with lava lamp and chair screaming 'I'M SO LONELY PLEASE SOMEBODY KILL ME'. No one came.

The end.

I see a clone of this on Law & Order inside of three months - probably SVU.

there was an episode on SVU where they were tracking down a rapist that tracked its victim down through a game that is pretty much exactly like this

Yeah that was some SVU episode using a Second Life-esque game.

Does this thing take a huge amount of resources? My laptop at work has 2GBs of RAM and the hard drive was GRINDING after a few minutes.

You guys haven't been paying attention. Google doesn't sell anything, they are the best at making money while giving things away for free. Eventually everything in these worlds will be ad-driven, you'll paint the walls with Behr paint from Home Depot, then get a Coke out of your LG fridge and sit down in your Gap jeans on your Ikea furniture.

Just a glorified chat room for now it seems? At some point it could be useful if they add more customizability to the point where you have like a usable whiteboard on a wall to teach a class, or have a business meeting with slideshows or whatever. I think folks are already doing some of that in Second Life, but with Second Life you have to download more substantial software. Here you have a small download and its web-driven.

Seems kinda like the Home thing Sony is doing with the PS3? People seemed excited about that, though I guess more for being a lobby to set up games.

I used to play around in a chat room system like this.. a decade ago in a place called Activeworlds. This is slower but has better graphics by far.

Someone needs to make a pedobear room and see how many chris hansons show up!
