Second Life
Having spent a few hours on Second Life, I have found a few locations that interest me. One is the Weather Channel's island. The many interactive buttons makes this location enjoyable.
I am a big Star Wars fan. Another island I really enjoyed was Star Wars themed. It had many Star Wars wall decorations and interactive objects. The Mos Eisley detail was also a plus.
A third location I found was a Lake Tahoe ski lodge. The scenery and vastness of this island made a strong impression. There were many interactive snowmen and penguins. This was also a plus.
Overall, Second Life is an entertaining and interesting way to interact over the internet. There are many different locations that appeal to a wide range of interests. I found many locations that were customized for specific TV shows that I watch. I personally found it awkward to start conversations with strangers I met on various islands. Most of the avatars either didn't respond or didn't seem too interested in the theme of island. I also sometimes found it difficult to find other avatars. I spent a lot of time walking around looking for other people. This may be due to my lack of experience on the site.

The above article discusses the new ways video games programmers are improving the overall experience of their games through increased artificial intelligence. AI allows a game to "learn" the player's strategies and techniques and adapt accordingly. As the player improves and advances through a game, the game learns of new ways to defeat the player.
