Allthough you can live in the tropics all year round I prefer to let the rl-seasons play along in my Second Life. As it’s getting more and more Autumn-like in RL here, the more it makes me feel the everlasting sun and beaches are not real anymore…Maybe its time to transform our gardens and sim…
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!
It’s still a shame
I used to be a very loyal and enthusiastic Emerald user, for almost 2 years. Untill LL came with their Viewer 2.0 which I found highly interesting and I loved some of the features (outfits, media on a prim, browser-based and all, oh and did I mention outifits?). As the GUI of Viewer 2.o was…
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…
Birmingham City
Because Cait’s Operator will fly to Birmingham -UK tomorrow, I thought it would be fun to see if there is also a SL-version of this destination…And: yeah! Not very spectacular I have to say, but the same goes for the original version..haha! Cait did find the Bull Ring including the statue, so that was kind…
Azul – gift of the month August
Occasionally I like to dress up all pretty in something different then jeans and shirts, and wear a dress. Not often, but it happens! My nicest dresses are all from the same shop: Azul. A stylish store, easy to navigate in (important!), not too laggy(only a bit) and best of all: gorgeous dresses and gowns! Also…
Sim-warming party at Tendai-Shu
Ahhh…Party-time! Saturdaynight Tendai-Shu, one of the oldest C:si clans, celebrated the moving to their new location with a sim-warming party. Needed…as they are located on a sim called ‘Permafrost’ and its snow and ice all year! Choices of music was Blues and Jazz, in two hours by two wonderful DJ’s. The guests danced in the…
+Mocha+
+Mocha+ Biosphere is a lovely, cute sim with amazing use of lights and meadows! I just love to go there from time to time and watch the bunnies, the flying ‘ghost’ (not sure what it is, but its just awesome) and enjoy the overall scenery. I was here on one of my robot-travels, and made this…
The morning after…
Last night was…madness allover! What started out with some spars between Pilar and me, ended up in a massive FFA (Free for All) with about 16 fighters from all different clans..Haha! We just had fun and Pil sent out a message in one of the groups, to our surprise they showed up. When you try…
Shadow Samurai – a tour by Volk
This afternoon Volk, the Shogun of Shadow Samurai, invited us (Pilar and me) for a tour around the Shadow sim (Shadow Lord Guan Province). They are rebuilding and renovating, so not all was finished, but it already looks amazing. I specially like the use of the ‘shadows’ in the forest and the little village, made to…
Imperium Katana
Imperium Katana.
Knowing when to stop
In early 2007, when gambling was still legal in SL (and the grid was covered with shiny, blingy Casino’s and pokerpalaces) I worked as hostess and pokerdealer in the Amsterdam Poker Palace. Stupid and simple job really, as ‘dealing’ was nothing more than pushing the right buttons on the fully automatic pokertable and occasionally say ‘nice hand’…
Garden of Dreams
The Garden of Dreams, an amazing sim, lovely environment and plenty of secluded places with couples-animations for a romantic rendez-vous and intan couple dances allover the sim. There is a lot to discover! H and me, we just love to dance there in the high grass in one of the many fields….after a night of swordfighting there…
Fun for one!
Besides taking photo’s of innocent n00bs, I also amuse myself with flying around, looking for nice spots and poses to take pictures of my narcistic self. Pictures I can then molest in Photoshop for hours and then tell myself I am a true Artist if I like the endresult! Yes, I know..I am easily entertained,…
Grouptraining
Every Monday and Wednesday at 1PM (SL time) we have a grouptraining in the ImperiuM, for our members. And for all other interested visitors! Yeah, really: all are welcome. Ratt is our trainer and he puts a lot of effort in the preparation and the actual training, as he is trying to make us a…
Combat Samurai Island
Combat Samurai Island is one of the most detailed combatsims I know. Meaning, most combat sims are low primmed, non scripted and such, all needed to provide an excellent fast place for katana fighting. However, on Samurai Island (as we call it) its not only about fighting, but also about enjoying wonderful buildings and surroundings….
