Let's Play SL Bingo: Scavenger Hunt for Metaverse Tropes

For-sale signs that rotate, walls of soft porn textures, suburban houses floating in the sky-- "It seems that Second Life, especially the mainland," writes Ariane Barnes of Virtual Underworld, "is like an American shopping mall. Go to any shopping mall and you will find the same 50 chain stores as the mall closest to your home."  Rather than just grouse about it, she's converted those cliches into a game:  here's the Second Life Cliche Bingo board, an assembly of those tired tropes.  "[P]ick a random spot on the mainland, and see how long it takes you to find five in a row or black out the whole board."  I'd love to see this turn into a league competition.  Go here for the board and the rules.
