It's funny that I have gone back to Second Life lately, not because of the usual reasons of going back, but because I feel it will actually help me with a few things.
I said yesterday I was aiming to go back to writing and go into the game industry and SL helps with both of these on some level. First writing wise, the area that I reside in SL is called New Babbage and is a very literary artistic steampunk area. It is a role play optional area but there are frequent RPs going on usually in story form. Since I need to sharpen my craft again this is a great place to do it, as I have always used this form of group for writing. When I wrote before it was almost always with Interactive Stories where you created your own character and wrote about their experience in the world the story is about. Well this is the same way really.
The second thing that it helps me is through digital design. SL has the ability to use mesh objects and mesh objects are what are basically used in all video games. So if I could learn a digital 3D art program then I can make things for games and have that skill available as well.
