By Osprey Therian
Gallery Beleza is accepting entries in their dragon photo contest from 6 December through the 26 December. Second Life screenshots, manipulated or not, are eligible. It’s a dragon photo contest, therefore photos must have a dragon in them - I know, I know, you saw that coming : D Information on how to enter is after the fold. Read the rest of this entry ?
SL Toon Studio
August 8, 2007By Osprey Therian
Patch Lamington has been around for close to 2 years, now, and almost all of that time he has been making doodle-things.
He started with a 
doodle house, then became a doodle avatar. You probably know his doodle pads, and anyone who has seen The Show Must Go On! has seen the master of ceremonies - a doodle bot from Patch. Patch is escalating his doodle-ness to take in new realms, now, and if doodles take over the world, why, I’m sure humanity will be a lot happier than they are now. Read the rest of this entry ?
Second Earth
May 19, 2007By Osprey Therian
My first visit to Second Earth in PhoenixPass RP sim was today during their open house. It’s a well-built place with much to look at, including the walled settlement in this picture. I explored a bit and found Elven dwellings and other things, and was luckily not attacked by any Orcish minions of the local foul necromancer. I do hate it when that happens.
Second Life Gets A New Sun

So I’m in the Game Park testing out some swords when I happen to look up in the sky and… what the hell is that?
Oh, right, the sun. They changed it from that gawdawful yellow dot to this gawdawful blotch. Hmm. You know, a quote from today’s Town Hall on why the grid is so crashtastic might be appropriate at this point:
[12:08] Cory Linden shouts: as I pointed out in the blog post, most of our development resources are focused on existing bugs and scaling, so firefox has been a bit starved for resources
You can’t spare the manpower to get Firefox working in the viewer, a feature we’ve been asking for for YEARS, but you can do this to the sky. You put people to work on an in-world VOIP service, you get cracking on sculpted prims, you start ripping function after function out of SL that we use (user ratings, land traffic, live help, etc…), and then you have the balls to tell us that most of your development resources are focused on existing bugs and scaling?
You, sir, are a goddamn liar.
Most people don’t know this, but Philip Rosedale made an appearance in-world recently (isn’t that hilarious… the guy who runs the world made an appearance in it). Basically, he said he could give a crap about Second Life’s problems. He just wants to cram as many people in as possible and to hell with them if they’re happy or not. Here’s a quote from the article on Metaversed:
Though he acknowledged that rapid progress, expansion and changes to the system often caused problems for the developers of Second Life, Rosedale made no apology for the companies “mission to get this thing as big as we can, as fast as we can” saying that every active member of Second Life, brought the platform closer to where it needed to be in order to grow in the long term.
Maybe this sun looks better above the clouds.
No, it still looks ridiculous.
*sigh* Working on the next iteration of “Alternatives To Second Life” now…

Cosplay - Phibbs Newchurch
March 23, 2007
The Junkyard 246, 239, 72 (Mature) - Big Damn Tech.
When I spotted Phibbs today I realized there’s been a SERIOUS lack of robots featured on Second Life Games. Cosplay isn’t all fantasy. I need to track down more sci fi… anyhow, check out his amazing av.
Phibbs has a shiny version for sale at his place:
My visit to Tombstone
March 12, 2007Onder Skall reports from Tombstone
Hmm. Today didn’t exactly go as planned.
I get to Tobstone dressed in a suit. I figure hey, I’ll blend. Nobody will notice that I look like Beetlejuice…

Nexus Prime
February 10, 2007When Seeker Gray and I were discussing guest writing in each other’s blogs, I paged through his archives to see what place he might have covered in the past that might make for a good article here on Second Life Games.
Naturally, I went for the dirtiest place I could find.
From the outside it just looks like a big box, but looks can be deceiving. Fly above it and you’ll find a shiny, almost chillingly sterile office environment of the future. This, of course, is only the beginning. Read the rest of this entry ?
