Samurai Edo

May 18th, 2008 - No Responses

Mythian and I went to practice with our swords then took some time to explore Samurai Edo. We met some rather interesting people there and one person even addressed me as “girl,” got to love that.

The Robot Museum

Mythian found this museum the other day and we went for a walk around. Metal, oil, art and donuts… life can’t get any better.

Poetik Party 10

Mythian and I caught the tail end of Poetik Party 10 hosted by Nur Moo. I would like to go back and take some snaps of the display as I did really get a chance to walk around… but as always the event was entertaining.

Cave Cult

You don’t need to have fins to explore the wonders of the deep blue sea. Mythian took me to Cave Cult at Cave Rau the other day for a little bit of relaxation.

The Sugar Bowl

May 18th, 2008 - No Responses

Was wondering what to do and decided to check out some art exhibits in Second Life. I came across the AngelGate sim and took a quick look at some of the displays: Sugarbowl, Particle Exhibit Camera Tour and The Chakra Symphony. I plan to go back with Mythian one of these days.

Another great day

May 10th, 2008 - No Responses

Mythian and I ended another great day at Inspire Space Park. While we were there I received a compliment from one of the creators of the sim. They liked my snapshots of Inspire and want to link them… such simple words, but they totally made a great day even better.

Exploring Primtings

Sitting on the lone couch in Primtings.

Wow.

Every design has a reason and I love to explore in Second Life… from sitting on objects, clicking on everything, testing how far I can cam around, building boxes to sit on to get into rooms that have no doors and even shrinking my avatar down to get into tight spaces. I found this little gem through a hole in the Skin City sim.

I had no idea where I was going, but was a nice (actually more than nice) find. I could have spent my whole day at Primtings and when the song came on about the black clouds it seemed just right… there I was dancing in the crystals and enjoying this whole sim to myself. Mythian was with me in the start, but their connection has just been crap the last few days. (Don’t worry luffs we can go back… kus kus.)

I’d give you the SLurl for Primtings, but you should explore Skin City and find your way there. Both sims are worth a look.

Sones Skin City Soda Contest

May 10th, 2008 - No Responses

I rarely edit my snapshots in Photoshop, well minus a simple border and adding my name. I always take my snapshots with the basic camera view and the standard setting. This snapshot just seemed great to enter the contest… and it the first one I’ve ever entered.

Now while I’m not sure what it tastes like, I think it could be a really nice flavor if I happened to win the Sones Skin City Soda Contest. (Even if by default)

Exploring Skin City

Crystals on top of a building in Skin City.

Mythian and I went to Explore Skin City and even though it is still under construction we both like what we see. The sim is said to take after the style of “Noir and grayscale like Frank Miller ’s Sin City,” and I would agree. The sky is just simply amazing… everyone that knows me in Second Life knows I have a thing for a clouds and I just love what they did with the sky.

One of the funny things about the sim, is no matter what door you open a doorbell rings. This was quite comical when we entered the public restrooms in the subway. I also sat in a chair that took me outside of the sim and I was able to cam around and look in from the outside… though I didn’t do that for to long. My favorite building had crystals on top of it, the inside was just like a work of art and I loved the chairs that were there… simply perfect.

I know we plan to go back every few weeks to track the progress.

Welcome to Fridays…

A sign that it is Friday in Second Life.

And then she went red… hold onto something quick!

Familiar sights here in Second Life on Friday. Why is it that the majority of the problems seem to happen on the weekends when most people have free time to spend inworld? I thought that is why we have Mondays. >.<

The zombified robotic mouse - yeah that’s me - and no mask… I’m just as shocked.

Get Inspired!

May 4th, 2008 - No Responses

To this day Inspire Space Park is one of my favorite spots in all of Second Life and tonight I had a chance to take Mythian there with me. My friend Ribe Oh introduced me to Inspire and it has three wonderful levels: the beach, the park and a club… each with a distinct look, feel and same wonderful chills.

And I know I’ve said this before, but I used to end each night in Second Life at Inspire… it looks as if I’ll be doing that again with company this time. Mythian, you are the best ever!

Ready to launch

Riding my Spitfire.

Mythian and I were looking for a vehicle of some sort that would carry two people, was small, not a lot of prims and still looked sleek. We came across the Spitfire, I bought one yesterday and it is one nice little hoverbike featuring:

Aerodynamics
Real Weapons
Cloaking
Customization
Menus and Chat Commands
Guest Pilot
Responsible Scripting
vHUD-ready

And a very nice price of 599L.

One of the best things I like about this hoverbike is you can resize it. My avatar is smaller than most and never really fits on a lot of things… but this little feature here is amazing. I mean my hands can actually touch the handles instead of being a mile away. Bonus points for aubreTEC just on that alone.

Now it was my first time flying in Mouselook, so I was laughing a lot. I also forgot to unlock the bike, so Mythian kept getting ejected. And I ended up firing the weapons off more than once. I mean who needs to read instructions, right? Just fire her up and go! Today I was testing her out on the sim, trying to learn the controls and not worry so much about speed. I’m getting a better and developing an unhealthy love affair with it… good thing it seats two.

This is the original model and I will soon be customizing it, so who knows what it will look like in the end. One thing I do know is that I am glad I got the Spitfire, it was just what we wanted and I believe Mythian will be buying one shortly as well. Look out below! LOL

Note to self: Edited position on bike is (position <.2,.02,.125>). 

DC 10 Opening

Chilling in the air during D Ribe’s set.

Mythian and I attended parts of the DC 10 opening today. Six DJs from around the globe helped kick off this party:

10 to 12 pm slt - Luisinho Rossini (ITA)
12 to 2 pm slt - Andy Seiling (Germany)
2 to 4 pm slt - Luigy Balhaus (Portugal)
4 to 6 pm slt - Digital Francis (USA)
6 to 8 pm slt - Joachimmsz Beck (Spain)
8 to 10 pm slt - Ribe Oh (USA)

While we were at Ribe’s set the talented lonetorus Habilis gave us these really neat glowing orbs that she created for the set (show in the snapshot above). She pushes pixels and lights in Second Life like nobody’s business and I was lucky enough to see some of her creations at her place. If you meet her, say hello… she is a wonderful person to meet.

Exploring Radio City

May 3rd, 2008 - No Responses

Radio City is said to be a “Blade Runner Style Commercial District.” I liked the rain, the music was nice, the shops were empty and I think I took some nice snapshots… but I’m still undecided on the style of Blade Runner at the moment.

View more photos from my time at Radio City here.
