Faces of Stonehenge in SL, Part Two

BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Continuing where we left off on Saturday’s post, here are other Stonehenge sites worth noting. It should be offered that in most sites, a simulation of the present site is preferred over the kind of reconstruction we viewed last weekend. Stonehenge Pub & Dance I don’t think I found [...]

Faces of Stonehenge in SL, Part One

BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER It’s not really that tough, I believe, to recreate the monoliths and stones that make up one of the world’s most famous and oldest monuments in Second Life. I’ve seen a number of them, mostly fairly lame (please note the accompanying screenshot that has For Sale signs floating in [...]

Free Ideas for RP Mavens

BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER It’s gut-wrenching to think that the most emulated work of fiction in Second Life is the world of Gor! The list of what’s been done already is very impressive: Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, Avatar, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Firefly, and Dune, the latter sims having been told [...]

The Perils of Pay(lene)

BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Another case for SLerendipity … I think I was at the Blow-Up store at Fluffy Bushy Mall and saw this sign next door at Hi Design. The sign read “Ruin of Death” and had this haunted house on it. Anyway, this curious kitten was grabbing the landmark and landing [...]

La Di Dah De La Fae!!!

BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Just as there are high- and low-end skins in terms of quality and price, the same applies to the skin designers who like to bring the animal out in us. De La Fae has been on that high end, and I love this place. My sister/alt has several delightful [...]

BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Having written about the Girls with Guns Maze last time, I need to share with you the source of most of the fun. The Soup Kitchen [TSK] is where you can work out your own zombie-killing parties. (Or if you don’t like guns, buy the Beer Drinking Party and [...]

Zombieland ala Second Life

BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Yet another instance when I found something I wasn’t looking for as I was searching for something else. This time, using the Showcase function, under Editor’s Picks, I found the D*A*M*N Maze and immediately teleported. I put on the free hud that is mandatory for fighting. I thought I [...]

Go Cybernetic at Paradisis!

BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER It’s probably a very well-known store and no secret to many of you, but I came across Paradisis as I often do, by asking someone wearing a striking outfit where she got it. (Of course, from now on, I’ll just click and do what Shauna instructed in Sunday’s Moonletters. [...]

Homage to AVATAR in Second Life

BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER If you haven’t seen the Golden Globe Best Picture of the Year, Avatar, go now … I’ll wait. Great wasn’t it? Never let it be said that Second Life builders and designers miss any chance to exploit their ability to peerform “the sincerest form of flattery” when it comes [...]

Interview with Ghanie Lane

BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Ghanie Lane is a dear friend. Even though we rezzed a week apart from each other, she’s been like a mentor to me. She’s also my incredibly generous landlord! She even gave my sister Pay away at her wedding since Ghanie was partly responsible for bringing her into this [...]
