Aaaah do-hickey-heck, I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve posted to my page, it looks abandoned. But I have what may or may not be a pretty good excuse; you see I’ve been a willing captive in the 3-D avatar chat and instant messenger world. I don’t know when it happened but I’ve gotten hooked and each time I try to escape, they just keep pulling me back. Honestly, at this point I don’t know how or even if I really want to escape. To make matters worst, I don’t just reside in one avatar world, I reside in two.
On Zwinky.com I have made over 50 friends nationwide in a relatively short period of time, and what is there to do in this world? Well, you can chat, chat, & chat about this and that. Quite a bit of the conversations on this site are relatively for the younger crowd, but if you select your buddies wisely you are able to chat with avatars in your age range. But what keeps me coming back, is the wardrobe and furnishings you’re able to obtain from the credits you earn. Although you are able to purchase Zbucks, as they’re called, I prefer to earn mine by visiting different areas on the site such as the park, which is always crowded or by playing games mall dash is one of my favorites.
But on IMVU.com the 3-D avatar world is quite a different playing field. I’ve only been there a couple of days and thus far have seven buddies from all around the world, including Trinidad and Brazil. Compared to Zwinky, the avatars in IMVU world are much more animated, unlike Zwinky IMVU avatars are able to sit, swim, jump, kick, dance, hug, etc. and are able to interact with other avatars in varies 3-D scenes and realistic looking rooms while they chat. And of course there are rooms for adults only (must verify you’re 21 or over), but I find that some of the interactions in certain areas are a bit brazen to say the least; therefore I opt not to visit those areas.
IMVU 3-D avatar world of chat can also become a very addictive dress up game with sooo many outfits to choose from, not to mention you have the opportunity to showcase your own creative designs. You can play music during your chats from tracks you select to include in your mix. In your inventory you have hair, make-up, eyes, eyebrows, clothes, pets, actions, and more to choose from. Although my avatar came equipped with a fully furnished modern penthouse, I choose to purchase (using credits) a huge villa, but since I’ve not yet furnished it, I’ve only had one guest over to take a tour of the place with me.
My avatar’s name is Writer, look me up if you ever decide to stop by, you may find me at a tv studio, cruise club, bowling, police department, airline, etc. there are so many rooms at IMVU and approximately 50,000 people online at any given time to hang out and have fun with.
Be warned, it can become addictive.
Until next time, have a wonderful time with your life. I must check in with Facebook and Twitter my serious sources of communication. LOL
