I hope they come out on DVD some day, if they're not already.

A point about Jim that I gleaned from another site. It seems that Jim may not, in fact, have acquired an avatar to get at Dwight, but actually had had an avatar for some time, with his lengthy past in SL. Hence adding yet more irony to his "Oh it has losers..." statement. In any event, I think this has been a great example of Second Life in the mainstream (to paraphrase Gwyn Llewelyn) At the risk of self-promotion, you might want to check out the lengthy comment from Clear Ink posted on Slambling in response to my “viral approach to SL” entry.

I should have mentioned the wider plot. It's quite touching, really. Good old Jim. It's a good line though. "Oh, it has losers" has made me chuckle nearly constantly since I saw the clip. Yes.

It was amusing to me. I think what you missed in the episode is although Jim called Dwight a loser, Jim ended up joining SL and enjoying it as much as Dwight. It was amusing to me.
