Spotlight on Play Lounge; an Adult Establishment Created by Tatty Hamer- Lanai Jarrico Reporting...

Note:  We are sad to inform you that the Play House has shut its doors and is no longer available in Second Life


   Second Life can be an adventure for anyone. It is full of events and activities that meet the needs of avatars with all sorts of special interests. It can also be a naughty playground for adults looking for some fun and excitement. 

PLAY Lounge is a new venue on the grid that opened its doors on June 3rd.  It offers all the amenities you would find in an adult established. Beautiful women, dance poles, private dances and a VIP section for group only access.


 I met up with owner Tatty Hamer to learn more about this steaming hot new club.

What The Hell is LSL?- Linden Scripting Language- MysticScottie Reporting…



LSL - Linden Scripting Language, that thing we all know exists but have no idea how it works.
To make the long story short, LSL is the life of the objects in Second Life. And I, MysticScottie will try my god damn hardest to help all you lay-mans understand LSL.

Art is Love: Spotlight on MumuHime Resident - sarahelisebeth Brenham Reporting…



Think your schedule is busy? Here's a story about a woman that does pretty much everything in SL, but still finds the time to help those around her.
   
MumuHime Resident joined Second Life in 2011. A friend of Ms. Resident suggested that she should try SL, as she felt that Ms. Resident would enjoy it, due to her love of games. When MumuHime first entered Second Life, she wasn’t sure if she would remain. But once she found out about all the things that she can do in Second Life, she decided to stay. With SL’s wide array of opportunities to get involved in, Ms. Resident made the decision to partake in the following, based upon a hobby she he has in the offline realm.

Interview with a Vampire – Stareyes Galaxy Reporting from The Castle of Eternal Solstice



The Vampire and Lycan role play platform Bloodlines © has generated a thirst as well as rage among residents since its inception in 2008. The allure to become a vampire clan member and to advance in the ranks of the game system has led to thirst of many vampires to feed on unsuspecting newbies, and consequently, generated rage in well-informed residents against their sometimes unscrupulous hunting practices. Among other deprecating things, Bloodlines has also been called an outright Ponzi scheme, which has added to the resentment toward Bloodlines among avatars at large. What is the reality today in the vampire circles? Stareyes Galaxy had the privilege to visit a castle and interview a Clan Queen.

BATTLE OF THE SEXES- What Makes Our Hearts Race? Nehem Resident Reporting…


 

Almost everyone who started out in second Life©, did so to play a game. However, with real people behind the screen, sometimes you are bound to fall in love.



So many of us, (myself included) Come to the virtual world because we are seeking something in our lives. Weather it is due to a physical disability and the desire to have a job, or if it´s more for social interaction, we find ourselves logging on daily to fulfill our wildest dreams. The best part about such a fantastic platform, is that unlike other social networking media, we have the ability to physically spend time doing activities that are just like those in the real world. Not only can we spend such time, It is time spend with real people from around the globe. When we find others with common interests, even though it may not originally be intended, we find ourselves in deep friendships, and sometimes even love. There is an age old question that remains in both our real and virtual lives. What turns the opposite sex on, and how can you prepare yourself for love?

I got to speak with several residents about their thoughts and feelings about virtual love, and what turns them on about the other gender, and also what turns them off. Lets take a look, and find out how you can be successful in the battle of the sexes! 

WHAT A GIRL WANTS: 

BOTCHED ROMANCE Jessi2009 Warrol Reporting…


Second Life romances can mirror real life romances in many ways. Couples can meet, fall in love, and do many of the same activities virtually as they can in real life.





Of course not all romances end positively and just like in real life, Second Life romances can cause heartache and stress. In this article I will explore how to bounce back from bad Second Life relationships and share the stories of two Second Life avatars who recently overcame the struggles of bad relationships of their own.

I sat down to speak first with “Tyler” who had a botched Second Life romance last year. Tyler stated that he and his former Second Life girlfriend, “Emily,” had dated in Second Life for two years. Both he and Emily considered themselves to be more than just a Second Life romance. As Tyler explained, “Once you share so many details about yourself with a person, it is hard not to take the romance into real life”.  Emily and Tyler spent most of their days together in Second Life either clubbing or exploring. They had even ventured over to other virtual worlds. By year number two of the relationship, both had started making plans to take the relationship further into real life and Emily had even booked a flight to visit Tyler.

Trials and Tribulations of a Beginner DJ – Stareyes Galaxy Reporting…


Disc Jockeys (DJs) form the backbone for the social encounters in clubs in Second Life ©. Who wouldn’t find elation in dancing to the tunes of DJs who can select, sequence, and execute a night of entertainment in a club full of your favorite people? Many club patrons will, in time, aspire to provide this entertainment as their own initiative, but it is not easy to get started as a DJ. I went out clubbing to find out about the woes of beginner DJs.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tornado Benefit @ The Inlet


Dancing with Michael Jackson proved to be a fan favorite as club-goers joined the History group dancers

   
    On May 19th and the 20th, Strupples Davidov watched as the state she lives in was torn apart by tornadoes. One of the May 19 storms passed within sight of her home, but it was the next day's destruction that shook her to the core.

    She is safe and still has a home and family. But she watched in horror as the destruction in nearby Moore, Oklahoma, was revealed on television. Homes, businesses and schools were leveled by nature's wrath.  

    "As a teacher, mother, and just as a human being, it has ripped my heart out," she said "The more I saw, the more it affected me until I couldn't watch any more and had to shut the TV off. I logged into Second Life to try and get those images out of my head, but they wouldn't go."

    Watching the television made her feel helpless. But as co-owner of The Inlet, Strupples began to think maybe there was something she could do, after all. "The only way I could think of was holding a music marathon in Second Life. We can make a difference. We can donate to the Red Cross to help them in their aid to Tornado victims."

Education in Second Life- Jessi2009 Warrol Reporting…


One real life industry which benefits from virtual worlds and Second Life is the education industry. As a real life educator myself, I have attended real life educational conferences, panel discussions, and have taught university level courses in Second Life.

 While the loss of the educational discount for sims in Second Life, forced many educational organizations to close their sims or to leave for more affordable virtual worlds, Second Life still has many educational organizations who are using Second Life on a daily basis for things such as professional development to instructing students.

Tips on How to Find Your Little Piece of Paradise in Second life- Tea Couturier Reporting…

There are a couple of options you can choose from:

Strutting Down the Catwalk in Second Life- Sarahelisebeth Brenham Reporting…

Many dream about becoming a model. But do people really know what this industry is all about. Come with me as we explore this profession.

Everybody wants a job that is financially and emotionally fulfilling; whether it be in Second Life or Real Life. Some professions require more of one’s mental resources, in exchange for a bigger paycheck. One vocation that while emotionally rewarding can also be mentally and financially draining. The career that I’m referring to is modeling.

Religion In Second Life- Jessi2009 Warrol Reporting…




If you are in tune with your religious and spiritual side, Second Life offers many locations and groups for the religious and spiritual minded individual.

Religious & spiritual locations can be divided up into three categories. The first category is replicas of famous landmarks. This category includes replicas of such famous religious landmarks as The Cathedral of Notre Dame. The second category are sims which have actual in world religious and spiritual services that you can attend. The last category are places of meditation, where you can sit and reflect in your surroundings.  So how do you find these places? An easy way is the Second Life Destinations Guide, which has a Spirituality & Belief category.


NIC eGovernment Island in Second Life- Nomad Aries Reporting…




Recently I visited NIC eGov Island in Second Life to see exactly what government is doing in the virtual world. This is not a Role Play sim and does not simulate a government. It is however, designed to deliver real local, state and federal government services to the public.

What goes on at the NIC eGoverment sim and what is NIC eGovernment Island about ?

YOU DID WHAT?! - Funny and Embarrassing Stories in the Virtual World- Nehem Resident Reporting…




Second life is many things. It can be used for work, play, fun or drama. It can also be embarrassing or downright hilarious. 


As we go through our second lives, we often run into our share of insanity with friends or family. During these times, unforgettable moments are created. We can laugh about them now, but at the time we were left feeling absolutely mortified. As we recall our stories, we feel a sense of accomplishment as well. We realize how much we have been through in our years in the virtual world, in both good times and bad. Let´s dive into the stories of some everyday residents, and have a good chuckle at the many things that can happen in the vast world of Second Life ©.

TECHNOLOGY: Feature Phoenix Viewer New Update- Jessi2009 Warrol Reporting…




The new release of Firestorm has not been without its fans or its critics. The critics have even gotten to Firestorm project manager, Jessica Lyon, who took to the official Firestorm blog this week to voice her frustration at the criticism of the latest Firestorm release. 



I currently use Firestorm as one of my main Second Life viewers, Singularity being the other one that I use frequently.  In the latest release, Firestorm added many features.  The biggest one was the ability to render avatars using the new Server Side Baking process, which will replace the old HTTP way to render avatars.  Server Side Baking is part of the Linden Lab’s Project Shining, which is aimed at improving avatars and object streaming speeds.

In addition to incorporating this major change, Firestorm also has the ability to back up and restore your viewer settings, which is a very helpful command to have, when your computer dies and you have to reinstall Firestorm and you cannot remember all of those special settings. The Firestorm team has also included a more streamlined and easier way to customize some of your favorite viewer settings, by creating a Quick Preferences panel:

Spotlight on Elese Faulkes; An Avatar in Second Life- Vapor Paragorn Reporting…




Second Life is indeed a fascinating virtual platform, where you can meet interesting people from all over the globe. You can explore different lifestyles and can learn new things. Socializing is certainly the most prominent feature of SL, which allows us to interact with people in variety of ways. Our random and friendly interactions with people impacts on us in a number of ways, which helps us to better understand people and life as a whole.

Every interaction either short or long term, teaches us something and helps us to improve as a person. Every new person we meet is like reading a new book, a book that stores new stories for us, new experiences and sometimes new lessons too.

Through one of my random interactions, I met Elese Faulkes. Reading her profile I found her to be an interesting person. So I decided to talk to her about her Second Life experience and activities in the virtual world. Elese is a real life artist and exhibits her work in Second Life. She kindly invited me to her sim, which houses her gallery.
