Anyone tried it?

Looks pretty cool. Where did you find it? Not sure it's something I'd actually use, but it looks like the best example of that type of program I've seen.

Isn't Playstation Home meant to be something like this?

[Thrik]

Yes. Whoops, Sony!

I was thinking about making a Thumbs room in Lively myself, but haven't tried the program out yet--the main sticking point being that you can't have an avatar name that's already a Gmail address belonging to someone else.

Which seems rather stupid to me.

Is there another Wrestlevania?

Gingers.Id@googlemail (dot) com?

Is there another Wrestlevania?

There is, surprisingly, much to my raging spleen's disquiet.

I was certain I'd taken that address myself after I first thought of it* but it's either associated with a backup email address I no longer have access to, or someone else has registered it.

* Pop Fact: It's a munge of the two most prolific console franchises from my youth; WWF Wrestle Mania and Castlevania, both on the SNES.

Damn. That's pretty annoying!

You could be "TheRealWrestlevania@..."?

This makes a fair compromise I think:

Going to try Lively now and look at how easy it is to create our own room.

I've taken the liberty/piss and created a Thumbs room in Google Lively. See you there!
