From Dirty Cute to Filthy Cute!

BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Another wonderful find by DJ MihoAndromeda Boa from her Pink Spider – Second Life Website, I knew I’d found something special as soon as I rezzed! (I just noticed that Emerald’s opening screen also carries a Visit Hachiman screen.) There’s lots of great hand-drawn textures of this “Cutie” cartoon [...]

Ozimals

BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE There’s a bit of a craze going on with bunny rabbits lately. Ozimals, as the bunnies are called (since they come from the land of Oz), are breedable animals within the world of Second Life. Since I tend to collect animals, I succumbed to the temptation when a neighbor offered to [...]

Happy Seventh Birthday, Second Life

Torley Linden Amplifies My Awesome

BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE “I amplify your awesome . . .” –Torley Linden If you’re a resident of Second Life and have not heard of Torley Linden, you’ve probably been living in a virtual cave.

Slate McLeod’s Famous Builds Exhibition

BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Yesterday I received a landmark from Slate McLeod, the creator of the 1965 England sim. The title of it? Slate McLeod’s Famous Builds Exhibition. Slate is an awesome builder, so I’d say his use of the word “famous” in the title is probably accurate. Well, his work is famous among Second [...]

Lunamaruna Swoona

BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Sorry if I’m behind the times with recommending that you take a look at Lunamaruna but for you stragglers out there, this is another chance! New World Notes was where I got my tip off. This cartoon-like city with floating manta ray and submarine-like underwater critters is the work [...]

Guide to SL Viewer 2.0 Beta Information & Reactions

Kowloon

BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Kowloon is one of the coolest places I’ve seen in Second Life.
