SL8B – ImperiuM build is ready :)


The last two days, while I was in the UK for rl-work, the SL8B sims were closed for final inspections and cleaning up by LL. Today all is open again for builders and for press and Monday the 20th the Grand Opening will be there! We can’t wait!       A direct SLURL to…

SL8B: The start!


Yesterday we could claim our parcel on SL8B, we got one assigned on the sim called: Spellbound! Getting into the exhibitor-group for both Ratt and me went swiftly and within an hour we found ‘our’ land. Claiming it means: put a prim on it. Simple! The theme this year is: ‘The Magic of Second Life’,…

Fierce Fighters!


Gotta love what the sword-animations does to your facial expression :)

Ready!


Trainingnight was good! It was nice to see new and old faces in our dojo, where Ratt went through some moves and tips for us all. Unfortunately I was not really able to attend, due to phonecalls (meh to RL), but while on phone I watched the lessons :).

New blades ;)


A lovely evening in our Dojo tonight! Had some wonderful spars with Ratt and watched our two newest members (Micki and  Gihn) learning the basics :)

A lovely Mondaynight


Before I had to go to training in the Dojo, I did some ironing for the rest of the week.. Training was good,  good times!

Bloody blades


My way of unwinding after a long day tonight was sitting and watching Ratt, Lunita and Pilar fight :)            

Trainingnight, well…sort of!


Usually on the Wednesday evenings (22:00 CET) we have a recap of the grouptraining we had on the Monday. Last Monday we practiced for the upcoming CTF against the Yakuza Clan (mid March), which was great fun and very useful. Tonight Ratt had prepared a training in using the ‘specials’ in our swords, specifically when…

A night in the dojo


Some days are less exciting than others….today was a day without any adventures, but some nice chats and fights in our dojo. Oh well, I guess life must have its quiet days as well :)

Getting back slowly


Ahh, I never find it easy to get really back fast into the fighting when I have been travelling. Odd, as I have not been away that long ! Anyway, I enjoyed watching Ratt, Oki and Nikita fight in our dojo, watching spars always relaxes me :)       Even if you are not…

FFA Madness


Last night we had a full house, ehm…Dojo!, and went for a total mad FFA *Free for All*….great fun with  Mellow, Eve, Utakata, Dinah, Oki, Robroy & Ratt!  

Private training


A slow SL night, after an extremely busy RL working day! Karelia and I were privileged by getting a training for the two of us by Ratt…..now we know what we need to do all week……practice makes perfect!

A Piercing Heart – by Bert Jedburgh


Today I got a link to a machinima shot in Combat Samurai Island, the home of C:si (the combat system we use), made by Bert Jedburgh.It is a sort of love-story and pretty amazing, specially the soundtrack makes it great! Although the actual fighting that is showed is not really impressive (it is kind of…

Well Crap – 2


Am back in Holland after some very busy days in the United Kingdom. When I returned last night, with a delayed flight, meh, I just did not have the energy to login and see what I missed in Second Life. Today another long and tedious day in the office, hence no access to SL. And…

Meanwhile in the Dojo…


While busy working in RL, I parked Cait on a bench in the Dojo, so she could watch H and Uri spar :). I like watching spars when doing other stuff, it’s kind of relaxing in a weird way. The clinging sounds of the blades, the bloodsplashes..hehe! Of course I was distracted for a moment…
