CSI:NY Comes To Second Life Wednesday

If this was Heroes, it would be cool.

Ok… Ok… ok… Are you saying solving 3D crimes is part of web 2.0 startup?

———————————————————————————————-

Anyway, I refuse to solve 3D crime to reality stuff. I wanna put one dollar on iinvestigators table. I want give up just like that. I like being super quiter.
So, Where do I type “God mode”?
What’s cheat code to solve reality crime?
What’s code to stop violence?
What’s code to stop paranoid freaks?

Any cheat code will save my time… So, I can do other hobbies such as fishing, painting, drawing, hiking, etc…

This planet is full of strange SIMS creatures.

ROFLCOPTER! That video was hilarious! I thought it was a spoof at first.

i dont know man,
second life and a thriller tv series…. they just dont mix

I firmly believe that, instead of spending hours and hours in a pixellated version of the world, people should do more to improve the actual world they live in.

Having said that, I am seriously tempted to delay the release of Ah Yer! India, and instead release Ah Yer! Second Life, thus opening our real estate listings engine for the listing of land on Second Life (what are the parcels called again? sims?), to cash in on this ever-growing Second Life fever. Somebody stop me.

great video
hilarius…

i found second life became a part of our life… it’s interesting

Blogging is my second life. I stay away from that game cuz I know I would be addicted. I wonder how much they paid for that?

You know what, I think this is a pretty neat idea.

Sure, TV and pixels don’t necessarily mix. But you will have quite a few people who will get SUPER addicted to this kind of stuff. They’re going to evangelize the tv show and bring more attention to CSI.

not a bad idea if u ask me…..

Mr. Michael, live introduced one more service called listas…i know you wudnt like to cover that but just to let you know that its a great tool…

preaty nice idea

Stupid.

I think a lot of people are missing one thing, this is going to boost viewer ship of CSI itself. Honestly I could care less for the show (or just about any tv show) but I’ll be tuning in for sure. Most of my virtual colleagues are as well (insert furry joke here).

From what I hear CSI has not shortage of viewers already but I wouldn’t be surprised if this episode breaks a few viewer records for them.

Duncan can you do a follow up post on the new onrez browser itself? This thing looks great, turning the clunky interface of the SL client into a web browser.

We’ll have to see if FPS (Film Park Studios in SL) is involved. It sounds like something Jaxon Wildcat would be in to…

This is a very interesting idea, and the signup data will be very interesting. 1MM signups seems very high, though the show has a huge viewership so maybe that will happen. If they can pull this much online activity out of the show it’s likely we’ll see a lot more of this soon.

@Ah Yer, maybe you should cruise by the disaster planning sims, the ones where you can use off-the-shelf 3D world software to model scenarios. Of course, we can do this in Google Earth, or anything that allows people + spatial communication to exist.

SL as a massively multiplayer photoshop-ish tool, helped me get more involved in local civics, and I’m working on various proposals to show local gov’ts redevelopment boards how I can model downtown districts and renovate them.

So getting a first life, heh, well, that’s the point. The more virtual we get, the more connected we get, and that scales to real life.

Not many people talk about this, though.

Second life cannot be everywhere…. I hope this mix can’t happened

Am I the only person who sits at home working and refreshing TC for updates on Saturday nights?

Need something to write about? Mark Z may not be answering the phone on weekends but there are a few of us smaller guys with big ideas available.

Sounds pretty stupid to me>

me too

Duncan, looks like you copied the text directly from some where! Where is the link? “CSI:NY fans will be encouraged to join Second Life and investigate the case by following a link on the CBS website.”

As much as I despise SL, this is an excellent promotion for SL. May it fail and DIAF.

And Sean Percival, you really need to reverse the roles of who will benefit as a result of this promotion–it’s not CSI: NY that needs the most help.

Hm…Interesting

Why not Law and Order or Columbo?

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit just did this with a fake SL!

Ah Yer how about looking at the educational, medical and training sims in SL. Lots of people are doing wonderful things in SL and we do have 1st lives as well. I saw the Law & Order episode a couple of weeks ago and the graphics were amazing, the avi’s mouths moved when they talked and they could blog! woot that SL would do the same but we have to worry about crashing and lag instead. Ok I do have one question—where did they go to get the new skin/hair/shape so easily done? I spent hours searching for just the “right” one and how come they didn’t have to spend any lindens? just asking…

I agree Sean Percival I will go out of my way to see this show now. I have never seen this show at all. In fact, because I am more into the internet as a use of electricity at home I am here reading blogs and facebook etc., and already play SL. I went out of my way to see the X-Files episode written by William Gibson in the 1990’s and, in fact, bought that season(5 and the episode is called “Kill Switch”) on DVD a few weeks ago to prepare to meet William Gibson in person. But I also agree that more of the people I know in RL know about CSI but have never heard of SL.

To all those who are all to egar to bash Second Life without even trying it (and I am talking about trying it for a few weeks, not just a few hours as initially it can be confusing … Second Life is NOT a game), you can go back to your regular scheduled programming of judging people who are different from yourself. Second Life is far from perfect, but I find those of us who do spend some time in that world treat each other much better than we treat each other in the real world. I am happy that I discovered Second Life. For those of us who are abled bodied people, we still need a balance between our real lives and our second lives. But Second Life allows the disable community a place to spread their wings, experience life and to be judged for their minds and not their physical traits. Nope don’t knock it, unless you have actually spent some time in Second Life.

csi new york is cool

csi is cooll

I created an Avatar about a year-and-a-half ago when my company was creating a product in Second Life (my boss suggested that we all check it out). However, I’ve never actually gone into Second Life outside of the initial creation of my Avatar. Watching CSI: NY on Wednesday was definitely very, very interesting. The episode definitely made me want to actually check out Second Life!

Duncan,

Why did you just cut and paste the press releases from CSI and the Electric Sheep? There aren’t “some reports” saying there would be “a million” — just those companies saying that lol.

Inworld, we watched very carefully. I actually saw the concommittant log-on numbers on the front page go down in 3 hours, possibly because regulars feared the influx would bring lag and didn’t come and a lot of the newcomers bounced due to load-balancing difficulties.

There were 420 sims (islands), and except for 3 Orientation Islands with perhaps 70-100 newbies, the rest had between 0-6 people. I generously estimated no more than 4,000 on all sims at any one time, and like other observers, saw these included a lot of staff and rubber-neckers from existing SL residents. Others who actually physically counted every green dot on the map found no more than 900 on these sims. That means the real log-ons were no “million,” but 900-12,000.

That is, CSI NY watchers may have followed the usual SL pattern — tried to download the client, found it wouldn’t work on their existing set-up, or found they could load it, but then couldn’t stay logged on, or logged on, but found it too hard to learn.

The Sheep attempted to simplify the user experience with a lighter client that lagged and confused less and had some nice features (like the “backspace” of where you had been).

But they dumbed down the SEARCH by defaulting to a SEARCH ALL interface that turns up lots of jumbled junk in SL, and covered up the interface most people use to immediately get a return to CLASSIFIEDS and PLACES. That meant existing inworld merchants at first enthusiastic about an influx of people, whether 12,000 or 1,000,000,000, suddenly realized that nobody would easily find their ads — instead they’d be driven to the Sheep’s SHOP button on the interface, that included only their properties and friends — about a dozen lucky connected stores they put on the CSI NY itself.

So this model of enabling one metaversal consulting company to take over the viewer to offer to their big client, CBS, could prove disastrous for the existing customer base and vibrant economy that are part of what even draws something like CBS in the first place to follow their customers who fled boring push TV into interactive user-generated content spaces.

It means that the TV-VW mash-up will turn a former user-generated world into a corporate company town that will simply see churn.

The hope is that the couch potatoes — who continue to trickle in, and may eventually in 6 months reach that million you’re talking about — will fly out of TV-land and integrate with the rest of the world, and start making, buying, selling in the inworld economy at large. But with other TV stations and large entertainment corporations greedy to follow this model to sell to the people they lost from TV and newspapers, the virtual world itself may be destroyed, or become merely a hollowed-out 3-D TV screen.
