When two people meet and date in a virtual world online with the intent of being together in real life. People who participate in Virtual Courtships are not initially bound by looks, age, location, and sometimes gender, thus providing a much greater real life dating pool. Virtual Courtships bypass flawed algorithms on static profile-based dating sites, allowing for real time, constant interaction.</p>
<p>I've been writing about this for eons.</p>Wayfinder commented on '*RU There*: Feature Film About Second Life, Gaming, and Living Digitally Selected for the Legendary Cannes Film Festival This Year!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0133edb94330970b2010-05-17T02:55:35Z2010-05-17T02:55:35ZWayfinderhttp://elfclan.netThis is a movie I would definitely see.

<p>1. The first thing that hit me was how very sad the avatars and SL landscape looked in comparison with the other games shown in the film. We see these rather detailed fighting scenes... only to switch to SL and bleached-out avatars and landscapes. Not the best presentation of either... but unfortunately all too common on the SL platform.</p>
<p>2. "I go to Second Life to relax"? LOL, SL is the primary source of my stress these days. From bait-and-switch sim pricing to years-long critical bugs, asset server issues / inventory loss, severe stop-dead lag, release of an extremely buggy viewer to the general populace, and doing no telling what to XstreetSL (it doesn't look promising)-- SL is these days the last place I go to "relax". These days... I turn to RL to get away from SL. ;D</p>
<p>Nevertheless, it looks like an interesting movie and one that I would likely go to see-- SL or no SL. It will be very interesting to see how they integrate the Second Life environment into the movie. I surely agree that virtual worlds such as SL can have more than casual impact on real life entities.</p>Tilly Ayres commented on '*RU There*: Feature Film About Second Life, Gaming, and Living Digitally Selected for the Legendary Cannes Film Festival This Year!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0133ed881983970b2010-05-13T05:10:22Z2010-05-13T05:10:22ZTilly Ayresanything that holds the possibility of forewarning those interested in second life has gotta be worthwhile... the rules are :-...<p>anything that holds the possibility of forewarning those interested in second life has gotta be worthwhile... the rules are :-<br />

this place can screw around with you soo bad, to loose someone you dont even know in sl can destroy you in the real world... it can make you physically ill.<br />
not all online games should be treated as "Games"</p>Pooky Amsterdam commented on '*RU There*: Feature Film About Second Life, Gaming, and Living Digitally Selected for the Legendary Cannes Film Festival This Year!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef013480baa432970c2010-05-13T01:14:20Z2010-05-13T01:14:20ZPooky Amsterdamhttp://www.pookymedia.com/What a great looking, and feeling film this will be.

The influence of Asian cinema in the best tradition makes it a film for connoisseurs.</p>
<p>The film really shows in a convincing way the huge difference between violent games like World of Warcraft (which is not named in the film, but it's obvious) and the peaceful virtual reality of Second Life, where people can be themselves. For this reason it could help Second Life to gain a wider audience and perhaps more residents even. </p>
<p>The film will have it's release in 6 theaters in the Netherlands on June 17. But this number might increase, depending on the success in Cannes. </p>JoJa Dhara commented on '*RU There*: Feature Film About Second Life, Gaming, and Living Digitally Selected for the Legendary Cannes Film Festival This Year!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef013480b80f11970c2010-05-12T16:34:31Z2010-05-12T16:34:31ZJoJa Dharahttp://www.jojadhara.comO well ..why not a sl / Rl premiere party? in Amsterdam?
