Now you can virtually go to a night club, buy a pair of shoes, or have a baby. Apparently &#8220;Second Life&#8221; is a serious addiction. I found hundreds of gamers who explain their addiction. As one user describes from <a href=\"http:\/\/hubpages.com\/hub\/SecondLife-addiction\">hubpages<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I played SL from 07 to Jan 2011, I done it ALL inside the fantasy world of SL. I went so far as to drive 1130 miles to meet my SL &#8220;partner&#8221; needless to say, she was a huge let-down.
