Priceless memories: Second Life voice enabled sims
Posted by myg
People, this is a true god damned story. Straight outta voice-enabled Arcata.
Some dude (imagine the voice of a tired or perhaps dumb sounding American with a southern accent): I ain’t feelin’ so good - I had taco bell earlier an’ I ain’t feelin’ so good
Some woman (imagine some hard up single broad from middle America, probably in her mid-late thirties): uh oh
Some dude: Yeah, they used to be so good, they ain’t so good no more. They used to have all the good stuff but they don’t have it no more.
Some woman: Such as?
Some dude: Well, green onions. Those cheesey fiesta potatahs, they used to top ‘em with green onions, but they don’t have ‘em no more. So I think I’m gonna stick with subway from now on, an’ here you can get two 12 inchers for $5.99 . . .
Some woman: Oh? You can get three here for that.
Some dude: I’d probably get three of ‘em too, put two in the fridge, eat one for dinner, one for breakfast.
Irritating suspicious sound: thump thump thump thump thump
Some woman (somewhat hesitant): Um, what are you doing?
Some dude: Beatin’ my mic on my chest. (pause) You can hear that, huh?

I’m not even good enough to make that shit up. No? Don’t believe me? Get your damned headset on then and brave the frontier of voice-enabled welcome areas. I’m sure you’ll find priceless moments such as these all over.
Below the fold is the list of sims with voice. (Note that Topgol is not yet among them.) Thanks to Wrath for the list.

‘Stjerneskud’ Sounds Swedish or so. I want to try out voice there! :d
I’m sure “Some Dude” was just wiping taco sauce from his shirt. He doesn’t seem the type to use a bib or kleenex.
bahahaahaha this is soooo MYG STYLE! i can so imaging the some dudes voice convo what a slob!,loool! i love it myg!
i’ve been on voice in beta, imgagine around 100 pls faling all over each other in the noob area and you hear 1 mill diffr languages, some beast kept saying ” hola hola hola” for 10 min straight - til i yelled at her to stfu. oh yea voice comes in handy at these things.
i am all for voice among friends, not some noobs - unless i get to cuss em out. hehe!
oh god gala, i wish you were there! Believe it or not, i was totally quiet, stifling my giggles as I frantically transcribed what I was hearing into the post. that is real life shit there, g, they were talking about. (Nevermind the fact that Taco Bell quit serving green onions after they had an Ecoli outbreak here in the northeast–I sure as hell wasn’t gonna tell him.) And besides that, do you think this guy was playing with his privates during a conversation with a chick about fast food? This is the pinnacle of American culture, I’m telling you…
I _would_ consider activating voice simply to listen to the incredible inanities of the conversations around me, but I’m afraid that doing so might be seen to indicate that I would actually _respond_ to people attempting to speak to me via this medium - thus I must decline.
and this, my dear malaprop, i feel is a just and right position to take. more power to ya!
i was hoping that with voice people would be more conscious of what they are doing and what they are saying but this just crushed my dream *cries*
This is great. I really should pick up a headset sometime. (though I’m generally known for my quietness irl)
Wow, saw this website for the first time, passed it around to sl friends for sure.
I was roflmao at this post. I am trying voice tomorrow do or die, lol. Appreciate your hard work.
@skycat: thanks - we have fun and hope you do, too. A small bit of probably unnecessary advice: When you try voice, try it out with a couple of close friends and avoid big groups. Though I have to say, I’ve been in a couple of larger groups of people who were only slightly acquainted and it actually worked well and people seemed to be sorting out the etiquette. But it’s still not the norm for groups of strangers.
