It's my last day before I return to Blighty and the Friday after Thanksgiving, and I'm still stuffed full of last night's mighty dinner. Rather than give myself indigestion with too much pontification and heavy-duty gaming mumbo jumbo, I thought I'd take the time to point you to some nice social play environments recommended by PC World.
These spaces are the more playful, structured cousins to Second Life (although author Darren Gladstone does give that virtual world a whirl), which centre on gaming, but with a social element. Whirled, for example, the open-source mini-game community, has already taken up several of my digestive hours.
Darren's also introduced me to a couple new spaces too, like Moondo, an avatar-led 3D gaming community, and InstantAction, an indie gaming hub.
Go forth and procrastinate. It's almost the weekend and there's so much time-wasting to be had.
