Its free for a few days or some such. I wouldn't pay for it, but yeah. You are basically given a random life, you are given some choices, you can do some things yourself, and eventually you die. If you feel it asks you too much information when you try and download the game, just put down nonsense (EG. You live in Garbaladonia and your name is Bubu Bhuhurah)

The game assigns you to countries based on population, so you're more likely to be born in India or China, while you'd probably need to play hundreds upon hundreds of times to be born in Andorra or Luxembourg.

I decided to see how I could die the fastest way possible.

I was born in the Australian Capital Territory in with the manly name of Victor. I took up smoking at 15, drugs and drinking at 16, and dropped out of school at 17. With my life going downwards, I stole a bicycle at 21 and got caught and sentenced to probation. I became depressed at 32 (was still living with parents) but recovered at 34. At 39 I was sentenced to 6 years in prison for using my job of being a laborer to illegally make extra money.

Now a virgin street vendor at 53 living with his 70 year old parents, I finally became addicted to drugs at 55, got diabetes at 60 (my e-father died the same year at 86 from prostate cancer), mouth cancer at 61, and finally succumbing to the cancer at 62, outliving my 83 year old mother and dying a lonely man. Fin.

Frankly, sir; I find you to be crude and offensive.

Hello sock puppet.

1. Mrdie, stop talking to yourself.

2. Yeah, I played this game about two years ago, and I have to say, I was impressed. Download the trial: it's a weird experience, but it's certainly a cool one. I remember playing as some Cuban politician who got glaucoma or something then died at 50.

Doesn't work on Mac. :(

Let me make it very clear that I didn't create that sock puppet.

So is this game like Second Life or something?

If Second Life was singleplayer, completely text based, much more realistic, was not a waste of time, and was nothing like Second Life, then yes.

I see, this does sound interesting though..

UH-OH!

Woah woah woah, I just played through a life in Venezuela as a girl named Evangelina, and once her husband died she apparently went lesbian. I know it wasn't a glitch because when I tried to propose it said "Same-sex marriage is generally frowned upon in Venezuela".

Awesome.

Ok now this is a cool game Mrdie deserves his props on this one. Where is he btw?

For heavens sake don't tempt fate.

We've disabled his posting for a while because he refuses to keep anything on topic. He might be back in a few days or he'll go back to his other forums where his 'games' are more popular

More like within a few hours.

I have to admit, that was a cool entrance. :P
