Amazing Story Second Life: People with Disabilities live better than real life

We had a comment over on the article asking is Second Life a Game?, this comment was so good we have featured it as today’s best comment and one that touched us here at products-reviews.net.

Many of us know friends or have family with disabilities, this comment touches on how people with disabilities are doing things in Second Life they could never do in real life.

Here Is The Comment by Jokker Streeter
IMO, for some it is only a game, to others it’s a business, then there are those like me who are there for the music more than the game.

I’m one of those people that play music in Second Life. For me, it is a second chance to do what i’ve always dreamed of…being a part of a real band and playing in real concerts almost every weekend. Although it is a virtual world where nothing is real, the music we make and the people that come to listen and watch are very real.

Many years ago, as a young man, I was in a small band that never made the “Big Time”. But after years of loud music my hearing was destroyed by tinnitus (ringing ears) to the point that i can no longer go to real concerts, clubs, or even loud partys. In
Second Life, i can enjoy all those things just by turning the sound down. I’ve also met people with disabilities that go there to do things they can’t in real life. One is a person who had mutiple strokes and cannot leave her house in real life, but she goes to second life to listen to music, dance, and interact with people on a level she cannot in real life…I’m sure to her, it’s much more than just a game.

The band I’m in is unique because none of us are in the same place.
The founder and lead guitar, BlueTom, is in Germany…the keyboard, Roland, is in France…the Bass and male vocals, Ictus, is in Oklahoma…Female vocals, Foxy, is in NewJersey…and i’m in Miami.

Although we have never met face to face, and may never meet in the real world, you wouldn’t know it by listening to or watching us in Second Life.

Thanks to Second Life, and VLB, I’m having the time of my life there…but not quitting my day job just yet…
