You know which cloud I am talking about? The one that shows up before your avatar has rezzed. The glowing mass that floats and soon enough (providing that asset servers haven't gone to hell again) will get its shape and textures and become a nice looking avatar. But before that, it can be anything. It [...]

As Variety informs (hat tip to Heartless Doll) Universal and "Pirates of the Caribbean" helmer Gore Verbinski have acquired a 2007 Wall Street Journal article they will use as the basis for a film about the online fantasy role-playing world and its detrimental impact on the real lives of players. You already guess, story is about a [...]

I know what mommy said, but I couldn't not to accept when I got the note: (02:24:14 AM) Dalien Talbot: hey, not sure if you have a couple of minutes to waste… :) (02:24:20 AM) Dalien Talbot: but if you do, I have something for you :) (02:24:59 AM) Dalien Talbot: try the SL viewer with [...]

I am reading Zippora's SL is not TV and wondering how comes that virtual environments, like second life have so high productivity level.

"Dammit!" - I said, from all the nice topics like Toilets in SL, Digital Suicide or SL as a Tool for Self-improvement, even The power of llHttpRequest or that experiment of staying 5 days off-line….

Under the umbrella of Mix'n Match SL blogosphere crazyness, I have pleasure to give you Brandy Rasmunson, (topic suggested by Ganymedes Costagravas). Enjoy. Oh sometimes the road is rugged, and it's hard to travel on, But holding to each other, we don't have to walk alone. When everything is broken, we can mend it if we try. We [...]

Alicia Chenaux started this train of thoughts asking why the guys in second life are (almost) always going after blinging bimbos with oiled skins, big boobs and short skirts.
