The conference is over, was very useful and I will return to Holland with lots of new ideas! It were two very long days, but absolutely worth it ! So, on my return in my hotel room I was looking in the menu for room service when someone knocked on my door. I…
Meanwhile, in the real world..
Cait’s operator is on a rl- business trip, so Cait won’t be in world as much as she is used too! Berlin this time, where it is freezing cold and apparently Christmas already arrived in this city :). My hotel is on the famous Kurfurstendamm, but unfortunately all shops are closed on Sundays :(. I…
Wasabi Pills – Fantasy hair
After some spars with Ratt, followed by a nice training session with Dreadfal (yay, he is on his way to the jumpslash!), I made myself another coffee and went to Wasabi Pills. This is a hairshop, what else is new on my Saturday mornings, where you can try out demo-hair for free. Now, this is…
Crazy times!
What a week! Crazy times is the right term, in ImperiuM! We welcome new members almost on a daily basis and trying hard to keep up with them, getting the basics in…seeing some grow to advanced rapidly, great! Next week we will have a Capture the Flag fight, I invited Sessou Samurai for a friendly…
Pip’s Amazing Airship
This afternoon I was honoured to be invited in Pip’s private home! This lovely lady has a steam punk Airship, something I have never seen before! At first I was overwhelmed by the colours and all the shiny object, but what a wonderful and happy place it is!It’s very complete and I found it an…
Mysterious Waves
Into art and installations? Then Mysterious Waves is the place to visit! Nice mellow music on stream and best: a lovely, mysterious clouded sky. May take a while to rez once you land there, but the effect is amazing! On small islands you will find art-works, some with (meditation) sitposes and others to just watch…
Jumping and Slashing
Tonight’s training was about Jumping & Slashing. Always funny to see the group practice their jumps like a bunch of hyperactive Tiggers! The lovely Ellie from the UK was curious and ‘maybe interested’ and watched the entire evening and then decided to join the ImperiuM! We have seen our group grow these last…
Try before you die: The Damned Zombie Outbreak
Most people who know me, know I do not like games involving guns and shooting. Odd, yes. As the katana I use daily is also a weapon, and technically it shoots too. Anyway, guns and Cait have never been a good combination. However! In the spirit of ‘Try Before you Die’ I teleported myself to…
Man vs Secondlife part 1 & 2
Instead of watching survival documentaries on Discovery Channel (my usual way to wake up on Sunday morning, with coffee in bed!), I watched these two episodes of Man vs Second Life, hilarious! (note: you may want to watch them on Youtube, the embedded versions in this blog are a bit blurry!)
Standby
‘Standby’ is the name of an installation made by the famous (if I may say so) Bryn Oh, whose work I always admire! Standby is located on the IBM sim and, as usual for Bryn, a surrealistic build. Just amazingly detailed and confusing ;). Somewhere on the floor you will find a perkament paper which…
Lazy Saturday
The weekends are always kind of quiet in ImperiuM, giving me some time to explore and catch up chatting with friends who are not into katana–fighting. This afternoon, while chatting in IM, I amused myself in the Garden of Dreams. One of my favourite places in Second Life. I simply love the fields with high…
Mysterious Pteron
On one of my travels, I discovered a mysterious place called Pteron. A blue/green city with many chambers and plateaus. I enjoyed exploring this mystic build, while listening to their stream playing relaxing (almost out of this world) music…I had my settings on midnight and was amazed.. There are some danceballs for couples and some…
Total War
Today I installed a so-called ‘Undead War Camp’ on ImperiuM Island! It is part of a brand-new big game in Second Life: Total War. In a nutshell: it’s a grid-wide war, with players from all kind of clans and with all kinds of weapons and combat systems. Via a special HUD the weapons are compatible…
Winterfashion – DeLa
Yeah, in Second Life it does not have to be winter and cold! Unlike real life, you can walk around in bikini or summer dresses all year round.. However, I do like to dress a bit according to the real life seasons. Not always and not all the way, it would be boring! At the…
Sharp blades & and a Lunar Adventure..
Last night was long but good! Went to bed waaaayyyy past my bedtime, but I was having so much fun online….it was impossible to log off! It was lovely to see some new members in our dojo, all eager to practice and doingtheir best to improve the new learned skills! Made me remember how hard…
Bentham Forest
Nothing better to lighten up my day than a visit to Bentham Forest. A surreal, colourful and above all enchanting place, built by Lauren Bentham. In this case, I have nothing to describe or tell…you should just go there and see for yourself, enjoy!
