Halloween is coming


Traditionally lots of sims in Second Life are decorated for Halloween, this time of year. In the Destination Guide you will find a special section “Haunted” with lots of cool and creepy places to explore. I will soon go on a second tour and take pics for another post! This evening I did some (modest)…

Real life..


… is asking so much of my time …. Cait is starting to miss her online world!

The inside of The ImperiuM


Accidentally I rezzed something this afternoon, in our dojo, and could not find it back. So I tried to locate it by using the wire frame. Then, after retrieving my object (it was under the dojo..hehe) I zoomed around and had some fun looking at our sim like this. It’s almost art. No. Not almost…it’s…

Cake and Coffee


Birthday-cake to be more precise ;) Yeah, today it’s Cait’s reallife birthday, so all are welcome in ImperiuM  to grab a piece of chocolate cake and fresh hot coffee!

Farewell to Avatars United


So I just got this email from Linden Lab, informing me that Avatars United will be closed at 29 September…. Somehow I feel bad about it, I always enjoyed the site and it gave me the opportunity to keep in contact with people when I am not able to get inworld…Also, we had a (modest)…

The Forum Cartel Home Tour – 2010


This year I submitted ImperiuM Island as ‘ Open Home’ in the 2nd Annual Forum Cartel Home Tour.  This initiative, by Joshooah Lovenkraft, gives members (and all resident of SL for that matter) a chance to take a look into people’s homes and sims. Some of those homes are normally closed to public the rest…

Serious business!


For those of you who may think running a clan of deadly fighters is easy and fun……hell no! It’s hard work and makes us very serious, no-fun and always alert people! Picture-proof in this post, as you see…we take Second Life very serious and do not (at no occasion) mess around with silly stuff!

Ghost Dog Clan


Tonight we dropped by at the newest C:si Clan: Ghost Dog Clan. Founded by Fat Yalin, who left her old clan this weekend and started her own. Of course I wish her all the best and good luck with her new group, and good spars! As a welcome gift, I thought it would be appropriate to bring…

Violence….


Oh my…it can be quite surprising to see a picture of oneselves, taken during a spar.. H made these action-pics this evening at Meiji, while sparring (I never tried that)!  

Coffee-time


In weekends I like to start my day with coffee and watch some spars. This morning I went to Meiji, and while I enjoyed my hot drink, H and Jason were fighting. Some other fighters joined the audience (with or without breakfast, depending on their timezone) and it turned out to be a quiet enjoyable cofffee-moment with…

Nameless N00bs


In the ImperiuM, we welcome lots of new SL-residents aka’ n00bs’. Main reason the newborns visit us is the fact we are listed in the official Second Life Destination Guide and we are proud of that..also, we think it’s nice to meet new people and are always (well mostly) happy to help them out! As…

Me and my Ghost


Ghost is the name of my horse (she is from the AKK Horse Ranch ), and every now and then it’s fun to ride her, while landscaping or just because it is a beautiful day for a ride!

Cute warrior!


For those who think all katana-fighters look like Ninja’s with black masks or are standard dressed as Ronins in heavy armors…I came across this little man, and allthough he looks very cute and harmless, it is a killer and good fighter!

Shorter days


As mentioned in a previous post, I kind of said goodbye to the summer of 2010. Time to prepare  the gardens in ImperiuM for a new season, reflecting the RL autumn! As Ratt has been busy designing and building a new ‘Hangout Area’, to be placed in the NW corner of ImperiuM Island, I took the…

Home, sweet home


After being on a RL-travel for 2 nights, without having access to Second Life!, I was happy to return home tonight and could not wait to login :). Ahhhh yes, home…sweet home! Too tired to spar or have a deep/meaningful/sparkling conversation, but it was good to chat a bit with those I have missed!

Shadows, lights and ambient occlusion


One of the features in Kirstens S20, the viewer I use for 6 months now, is the possibility to live in a world with very realistic shadows. I never really took the time to try it out, so this morning I did, being curious! It’s indeed amazing, I had to set the graphics to the…
