Paul Mason, BBC Newsnight journalist inside ‘Second Life’ chatting with Nolligan last night.
From the page: “Do avatars dream of electric racoons?
As part of Newsnight’s Geek Week, business correspondent Paul Mason and presenter Jeremy Paxman broadcast TV’s first ever face-to-face studio session from inside the computer game Second Life.
Here, Paul comes face to face with the designer who made it happen.”
… I said to Newsnight’s real life editor Peter Barron, “why don’t we broadcast Newsnight from inside a computer game.”
I got in touch with Cory Edo – real name Sara Van Gorden – who runs a business in Second Life designing avatars – the idealised 3D personas that people use as their online identities.
Cory recreated the Newsnight set, Jeremy Paxman and myself – the latter with wrinkles and stubble rendered in full 3D realism, sadly – so we could record the historic “two-way” that will go out before my piece on online games.
