Five goes fishing

How you can start with a head-ache and gradually become amused and end up with a date in Second Life!
Do you like fishing in RL, even if you don't, read this!

Mending a small problem with data transfer, the famous ‘Stack-Heap Collision’, Five was coming across a fishing game in Second Life.
http://fish.neorealms.com/index.php
Five decided to take a look there, and found a very funny game, fishing as expected. A few people were there, which was good, because all the equipment on show was rather daunting.
People around makes it easy to ask some basic things, and also encourages to start fishing. Talking is a big part of fishing!
Five bought a simple beginners rod, for 16 L$ and started fishing, the animations of casting are really good. You have to load bait to your rod and the game is on!
The scenery is well done, you start at a pier, nice in the sun and can sit or stand. Watch out for falling in the water! But well, Five did take a step too far and landed on the seafloor. This was quite an experience, because a lot of monsters are wandering down there. So Five could advise you to fall overboard form time to time…..
The catches are coming in regularly and your inventory fills with all kinds of frogs, lobsters, crabs, sun stars, marills, turtles…all amazing creatures! You can rezz them on the floor or in the air to take a good look on them…..and take a picture. Nothing to get a good meal form at the moment!
Other people are showing their catches, and really bragging about them!
Of course buying more expensive rods gives you the chance of winning bigger fish and monsters. You get points and enter a competition, all shown at the website. Also shown on the site are tournaments, where you can win real money. Levels are indicated from beginner to experienced; Five is still on amateur level of course, being always busy in the desert at Virgin Island.
It takes a bit of time, while you are fishing, to read all the possibilities of the game, there are quest collectors, and of course the big finds for the more expensive rods.
Oops, isn't there a smell in my inventory?
The site indicates other spots in Second Life where you can fish, and you rod stays ‘alive’ as long as you have bait.

People are not only fishing for seafood, but apparently also fishing for…..dates…..well this catch went ‘of the rod’, because……you know….. Nugget Kidd…….
