Post-Apocalyptic

Contributed by Shauna Skye I must admit, me liking this video as a kid probably has something to do with my fondness for post-apocalyptic sims in Second Life.

How To Make Profile Picks More Interesting

Contributed by Shauna Skye Our Second Life profiles give us a picks tab so we can tell others about places we like in Second Life. Previously, I suggested the Lindens add a friends tab to our profiles because so many people use this picks section not to tell about locations in Second Life, but to [...]

Continuing Saga of Splintered Rock

Contributed by Paypabak Writer In the spring of 2007, the LemonYellow sim began “The Dune Project,” a place where residents could honor their love of the Dune novels by Frank Herbert, living and roleplaying in the city of Arrkeen, on the planet of Arrakis.

If You Don’t Want Your Items Resold

Contributed by Shauna Skye If you don’t want something you’ve made resold do one of the following. 1. Make the item no transfer. 2. Put a notice in your item or in the title of your item saying “Not for resale”. If you allow transfer permissions you have to expect people to give the item [...]

Hiro Game “Addicting & Fun”

Contributed by Shauna Skye I’ve discovered a new game that’s easy to play, but involves some reasoning without frying your brain. It’s called Hiro, and all you do is match three or four tiles in a row. When the tiles match they disappear. Your aim is the clear the board of them. Tiles can match [...]

Friends on SL & Beyond

Contributed by Shauna Skye Not long ago a reader asked how to make Second Life friends.
