By Second Life law, whenever there\'s any good news to report from the online community of creepy players, there\'s far more disturbing news to focus on. Second Life is the only game in which there are more actual cats than kitty porn sex offenders. It\'s also the only game where the sky isn\'t the limit, yet both clouds and Cloud look like shit.

The good news:  Back in February Final Fantasy VII fans joined together in the Second Life world to recreate Midgar on an island within the game. It\'s a nice tribute to show their appreciation, but the shrine doesn\'t end in its appearance, you can even play through the area as a mini FFVII sim game. When you first arrive you choose between the sides Shin-Ra SOLDIER or AVALANCHE rebel, then choose between Fighter, Gunner, and Caster class. A few more clicks and you\'re buying materia and shopping for weapons.

The people running the level take on the job of Dungeon Master as they act as NPCs, and help pull plot twists at the right time to help the role playing progress from one area and event to the next, like some freaky carnival. I\'d rather just play the game again, although I have to admit, this shows more dedicated role playing than any game I\'ve ever seen. Ironically, they have asked Square Enix for permission to run this Midgar Sim, and are assuming their lack of response so far is an undeclared ok. So, with a littler luck, in a few weeks I\'ll get to bring you headlines such as "Square Enix summons Shiva on Second Lifers" or "Midgar murdered by materia."

Oh, and the bad news? Real life laws may need to be re-written to include the possibility that under-the-age gamers can now "rape" adults online. So, if it\'s a dude dressed as a dog and a chick dressed as a cat, does that still count? Or have we discovered a loophole in the Constitution, in which human-on-human-on-online bestiality is included as rape? Welcome to 2007
