Script, Magic In Second Life

　　It is said in the last news that Second Life (SL) would become more and more popular and well-known among the world in the future; however, according to the interviewees’ opinions, there is another attractive reason of SL towards its users. It is besides the convenience it provides for people to communicate with people from all over the world at will that SL also affords users to have visual sex. This makes SL much different from other On-line Games (OLG). To fulfill the other OLG players’ curiousness, this news is going to reveal this mysterious feature of SL about how to perform this action in SL.

　　Basically, all the actions of avatars are designed by a function called “Script” and these scripts can be designed attaching to some objects. That means, amazingly, avatars can do some particular actions, which are not designed at first, by touching certain things in SL. Take dance for example. Avatars are not equipped with the ability to dance; however, if an avatar touches a dance pole, he/she would be able to do strip dance immediately. What is more, SL is unlike other OLGs only providing well-done objects to users; it also allows users to have more liberties in interacting with it, including creating things in SL. Thus it gave birth to the performance of sex. Users are free to create whatever objects they want to make so objects attached with sex actions are made as well and the performance of sex becomes possible. As a result, SL nowadays draws more users to seek for visual sex instead of other purposes.

New Wearing Style for School Boys

If you walk along the streets in Taiwan, you may see people in low rise pants or jeans displaying their “under beauty” towards you. It is especially popular among school boys that they would even pull their outer pants half down or pull up their underpants and so you can see these colorful pieces sticking out their shorts or pants saying hello to you. You don’t even recognize which should be out and which should be in sometimes. These boys seem to take this kind of wearing a way to show their characters and underpants are no longer a piece that should hide under other thing. You may see some unique designs such as a motto or a picture on their bottoms telling you what kind of people they are. According to these boys who are fond of this kind of wearing style, it is a mimic production of baggy pants. They think people who wear this kind of pants look cool because it is a sign of outgoer so they want to make their usual pants similar to this kind of pants in order to make them like outgoers.
People’s wearing style represents their characters. This position change of underpants and outer garment may give a code implying that Taiwanese people’s thoughts have changed. This shows that people living in Taiwan nowadays are confident enough to express themselves towards others. They are not afraid to display their flaws because they have turned their flaws into features. The only side effect is that you may not know whether to look at these features or not since they are all at a sensitive location.
