Komuso and MoShang are currently beta testing SynaesthAsia - but when it goes public go and see it if you can. This is my machinima record of one of their live music jam and biofeedback particle beta performances.

The first of many En Garde open tournaments will be held this Saturday, January 26th. These tournaments will happen every other weekend at different locations around Second Life. This time La Musique hosts the event.

Everyone can enter this elimination tournament, for 50L, and the winner and runner up splits the collected pot that day. The champion also gets a nice trophy for his/her achievement.
More details and a schedule of planned tournament locations so far can be found at Kat Burgers webpage:

Come join the fun and don’t forget to bring your fencing equipment.

Sine Wave is developing something they call actorbots - bots with a bit of AI which can perform tasks in machinima or in other roles such as greeters, and Easy Babcock demonstrated the alpha stage project on Sunday. Read the rest of this entry ?

For all you motorsports fans - Motorati is now under the aegis of United Spinal Association, and is called Motorability.
Check this out: ever want to be Pac-Man? No? Well, too bad, you are anyhow you lucky you!
A company called Intoint has made a version of it in Second Life (slurl: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Intoint/63/134/33) that’s way too much fun. They call it “Intoman”, of course, but hey it’s a promotional. Whenever the game ends you get flung to some random location around the island. It’s a pretty fun way to die, actually.
Starting up is easy. Go to the table with the backpack on it, buy one for 0L$, wear it, and click on it. Game starts.
Gameplay is pretty simple - run into the power-pellets and get ‘em all to go on to the next level. Get hit by a ghost three times or run out of time and it’s game over. For an extra challenge, try mouselook. It’s a lot harder somehow.
This is me on my fifth game. I finally made it to level 2 before that ghost got me. Dammit. I decided to take a break and let Hydra Shaftoe take a crack at it.
Watching is as much fun as playing. There’s a big seating area for the audience, so bring some friends.
It’s free. Go play it. Power pellets await. Go. Now. Stop reading. I said stop! Gah!

Dancoyote Antonelli’s lovely live production Second Spring is an exhilarating and colorful happening. Music, costumes, and execution are all wonderful, indicating close teamwork that has paid off for the audience in a finely coordinated performance. Performances take place above 
Ars Silmulacra, one of the NMC sims, but you can’t get in unless you have joined a group specially created for performances.
I have a group of pictures on Flickr, so if you are curious take a look - then go and join the viewers to see the wheeling and swirling dancers for yourself.
