Ultra Violence


Ultra Violence, that is what Ratt calls an evening of total mayhem: fighting with a couple of people for hours and hours and not stopping…when you die, you simply get up and start again..and again. Well that is basically what we (Ratt, George, Karelia and I) did all evening! And it felt good ! W0000t!…

Bladerunner City


Travelling across the grid…this time I ended up in an Art Colony called : Bladerunner City. A huge art installation, with many amazing builds and in a lovely sci-fi setting. Not the Bladerunner one would expect from the movies, but worth a visit and please take the time to explore! I like the atmosphere and…

Brighten up!


Somewhere there’s someone who dreams of your smile, and finds in your presence that life is worth while. So when you are lonely, remember it’s true Somebody somewhere is thinking of you.. Or what also works, well it does for me, go visit a colorful epic place in Second Life to brighten up the day…

Things to do in a hotelroom


So, I am travelling for work again, to the always friendly and not so sunny United Kingdom! Second Life on my Macbook is possible, for chats only…I cannot fight on that keyboard, besides that the maccie gets too hot when fighting anyway. So I usually spend my evenings in the hotel surfing the web a…

KLM


When this post will go live, I will probably sit in a KLM plane on my way for a business travel, given if there is no delay. Anyway, I recently visited the Airfrance-KLM Museum in Second Life, not a very impressive museum..and maybe the word ‘museum’ is a bit too much, but it was fun…

Annon, The Gate


Via the SL Destination Guide (what would I do without it!!) I discovered a beautiful sim, Annon. It has several amazing castles. The one I liked most is The Gate. An impressive monastery built on a rock, surrounded by waves (a bit too noisy to my taste), populated with seals and seagulls and huge waterfalls….

The Water Horse – by Toxic Menges


Via one of the forums of Second Life, I found this impressive machinima made by Toxic Menges. The horse in the movie is not an attachment or pet, but an avatar. I enjoyed watching this machinima, for its ambiance, music, the scenery and how smooth the horse moves….just lovely! (it’s best to watch it in…

The armed N00bs are coming!


When I logged in briefly this morning in ImperiuM , I saw a little green dot on the minimap. I hopped over (yay, I love double-click to teleport!) to go say ‘hello’ to the visitor! I am not sure if it was a ‘he’ or a ‘she’, the name did not tell it either, but…

Come fly with me…


Fever got me and it’s bad. A flu without having a cold. I am miserable and not in the mood for fighting. Or te be in world a lot. Anyway! To cheer myself up I transformed into an Elf. A pink one, of course! I kind of liked running around as the Christmas Elf the…

Toxic


Not something you may think about, when exploring Second Life: a reconstruction of the Union Carbide Chemical plant in Bhopal India, 1984 – shortly after the gas leak that caused so many deaths…I am old enough to remember this tragedy and all the awful images on television-news back then, but to be honest; in Europe…

Unbelievable?


Yeah, it’s true. Honest. I was minding my own business (read: doing nothing) and then….out of the blue: I got an IM, was asked out for a dance and had a lovely Sunday-night :).

Les Miserables


“We do not claim that the portrait we present here is a true one, only that it comes close“ Once upon a time, when I was young and innocent *cough*, I wanted to become a teacher and studied French (and English). I always loved reading books, still do, and for my study I had to…

Déja Vu – in reverse


This afternoon, when driving home from work, I was listening to the radio (and singing out loud) to the so-called : top 900 of the 90’s. Not very exiting, I admit. One particular song stayed in my head and when I was home I looked up the official video-clip on YouTube to refresh my memory….

Back to 2007


So I spent some time in Waterhead, as it was (again) a quiet day with not much going on (other than that in RL I went for a long walk in the snow and fed the poor ducks in the river  my old bread). Then, suddenly I thought I was back in 2007. The good…

Syzygy’s Ice Beach


In the spirit of winter I visited Syzygy (what’s in a name?), a 5 sim region completely turned into a Winter Wonderland, but then….different than so many I have seen the past weeks! Of course there is snow and frozen lakes & waterfalls, but the decoration is less ‘Christmassy’ and does not feel so overdone…
