There's not much on television about the Internet, so I made the time to watch Wonderland, a story about people who have almost entirely moved into Second Life.

Without giving too much away, the stars of the show were Carolyn and Elliot, separated by the Atlantic (oh and her marriage) but in an intense relationship in second life. Needless to say, their online personas looked nothing like them and their eventual meeting was an anticlimax.

I ventured into Second Life before Christmas for a feature (hopefully online soon). Perhaps it's because I'm busy in the real world, and suffer from occasional RSI, it left me rather bored. Guild Wars was more fun but I've only really been playing it as a single player game.

It's not that I don't talk with people online; I'm on various mailing lists and forums, not to mention some blogs(!). But I don't feel the need to spend ages creating an online persona. In any case, I couldn't find anyone willing to sell (let alone give away) the Cryano de Bergerac look.

Readers in the UK can watch the program again with the BBC iPlayer. The BBC warns of adult themes. It's worth watching as a warning of not getting too obsessed with gaming.
