Pay Attention to Pay!

Second Life in Need of Goth Juice

Mootown Pays You To Play Zyngo
Contributed by Shauna Skye I was paying a visit (no pun intended) to one of the SLFix sponsors, Mootown Games, to try my hand at their zyngo. Since it is no fun to play zyngo on my own machines, when I do play I go to places who have sponsored SLFix, or to friends’ arcades [...]
Sculpties Made Easy
According to the SL Wiki: “Normal prims are formed by an extrusion of a 2D shape along a path. They are modified in-world by a set of parameters that allow them to be twisted, cut, stretched, etc. Sculpties differ in that they are prims whose three dimensional shape is derived from the color values in a texture, the sculpt texture.”

Getting into the Hunt
Contributed by Paypabak Writer It’s become a Second Life craze: hunting for freebies on grid-wide circuits through dozens of stores.
