SL is full of Trash
So, after taking a break to play that piece of shit game Everquest 2, I went shopping with a friend of mine today in SL, checking out all the latest and greatest ripped off creations, textures, sounds, and hairstyles from other games or right off the renderosity site.
I can't begin to discuess the numerous crap in the game, so I'll just break it down:
Hair: My friend. she is a hair fanatic, but half the popular stores (with the people dancing outside afk) like ETD or whatever the fuck it's called, all had the worst fucking crap. Some hairstyles actually looked like pixelated shit piles. I have to say, I work at a business were a see a lot of women... none of the hair in SL even comes close to realism. Best description of what I saw- big fucking chunks on one side, missing pieces on the other. Sometimes just haphazardly placed detail, prims and the like. Most of the textures are ripped from Renderosity and other poser sites, I can provide links. Most of it seems to appeal to those blond hair avatars, you know the ones with the same generic shapes and crap skins from Nomine.
Furniture: this shit gets crazier with each release. It's become difficult to even tell what some things are supposed to really be. Also a lot of photosourced crap. Seems like every bed, chair, coffee table, lamp post, doormat now comes with craptastic sex poseballs. You know those ones where you can hump another avatar in some stiff scary pose. Lot of those fucked up furries use them. Can't even buy a simple chair anymore without getting a blowjob poseball stuck to it.
Houses: This stuff gets more boxy, more crappy. I think I saw textures on a couple of the 'popular' houses from other games. Not forgetting those houses with that "leave your drama at the door" script. That's fucking wacked. I was really in the market today to buy a SL home too...well a new one. Too bad everything is shit.
Weapons: Usually I got into them myself. After shopping around, all I saw was a bunch of ripped off textures applied to crappy prim models. I love the quality claims some of the bigger creators make too - "most realistic" and "quality speaks for itself" statements. Well, there sure is quality there - those ripped off textures from other shooter games, that more talented artists created, stolen by some big SL nerd and then applied to crappy SL models, just so he can make a buck. Also to be honest - don't care what features they claim to have, it's the same piece of shit kiddie script in each gun, just altered and then married to a new particle effect to give off an impression of new. Reality of it all - same shit.
Clothing: Something everyone can photosource, so how the hell do these people get this one wrong? Too much color on one damn article of clothing and gypsy looking crap. These people seriously need to take a look at the fashion industry. Of course between bullshitting people in SL and making craptastic new outfits, they don't have the time. A good example of POOR quality is Image Reflections. Ironically the name fits the store. I think the creator just reuses the same textures (changed here and there of course) on each outfit. Look at the old stuff, then the new, see that reflection? Ya, you know what I'm talking about.
Back to Eq2 for me, for now.
PS Be sure to look out for me in the game. You will know me when you see me. I'll be bringing some photos to this blog, along with some exclusives Linden Labs won't like.
