Dealing with Mental Illness in Second Life
by Tenshi Vielle It's always sad when someone you love takes a turn for the worse. Even more terrible is when they turn for the worse and you don't even know their real name. Or where they live. Or anything whatsoever about them that might be a microdium of truth The only way to [...]

iPhone 5 Map Drives Players To Waze Traffic Sensor Game
Role playing a GPS-enabled sensor in the ARG hive mind I decided to join the Waze traffic map game on my new iPhone last week, after reading far too many stories moaning about how Apple should never have dropped Google Maps from the new version of iOS. The general tone of the Apple Map coverage [...]

Tizzers Foxchase: Rock Fresh
Exclusive interview and pictures from Fort Longcat Early this week, Linden Lab destroyed the Sandvich region of Second Life and banned Sandvich land owner Sarilia Tryce and associates from the game, presumably in response to the Justice League Unlimited gang's favorite tactics: abuse report frenzy. The JLU and their allies were spurred into action as [...]

Linden Lab Nukes Sandvich Sim
JLU gang leader claims responsibility - thanks Michael Linden for swinging banhammer Monday, Linden Lab suddenly deleted the Sandvich sim, a popular Steam-themed region in Second Life which inspired a chaotic YouTube video tribute. The Lab's action sparked a round of protests as banned players were stripped of their virtual assets - without any sort [...]

SL in Steam: Rod Humble’s Hail Mary Pass?
10-12% drop in player concurrency since February - daily signups swoon There is no question Linden Lab CEO and Aston Villa fan Rod Humble knows his soccer. But Rod Humble seems to be taking a classic end-game page from the American football playbook - the Hail Mary pass - as he moves to market Second [...]

Second Life Can Fix Paul Ryan’s Marathon Lies!!!
Paul Ryan's shame and retroactive truthing with a virtual world by Pixeleen Mistral -- sports desk Paul Ryan's credibility has taken a serious beating over the last week, starting with a fact-challenged speech at the Republican convention, followed by the debunking of Ryan's claim to have run a marathon in under 3 hours - which [...]

Shock! Griefer/Egghead/Hollywood Conspiracy Exposed!!!
special to the Alphaville Herald - by Pat the Rat
Someone pass me the Pepto Bismol, please! That is all I can think of saying after surviving the social event of the decade in the new, post-Linden, metaverse.

Attending this A-list event were Alphaville Herald staffers Urizenus Sklar, Pixeleen Mistral, and PaleFire, former PN boss Windowlic Klaar, Woodbury alums Tizzers, Atlas, and Huns, Woodbury Dean Edward Clift, Hollywood film-makers Brett Baum and Vivien Lesnik (she of the pro-Castro documentary, /busted!). Well it all just makes you think, doesn't it?
What possible reason could there be for this confluence of ne're-do-wells, griefers, pointy-headed intellectuals, and Hollywood moguls? I don't know and I don't care, because whatever nefarious plots and technocommunist revolutions they were planning, they partied like it was 1917!

Atlas and Tizzers not drinking that Moet Crap.

Agent from Chapman University joins the conspiracy.

Tizzers, Huns, and Atlas in the Queen Elizabeth Herald Suite.
But what are they up to? Is it a new transmedia ARG done under the auspices of Henry Jenkins - one of the technocommunists from whom they take their marching orders? Is it a plan to turn us into a nation of brony-loving, rainbow-pooping yiffers? Is it yet another tendril of the monster that has become the Occupy Movement? The Rabelaisian quality of the evening suggested that perhaps they were planning a 21st Century Carnival of the Grotesque. Only one thing is for sure: In the hall of mirrors that is the Interwebs, we may never know.

Bowling and Griefing Going Strong in Second Life
by Justine Babii When I was last a Second Lifer I learned quickly that it's important not to get too excited about the "Events" listed in the SL search, as most will be a huge disappointment. Empty sims trying to sell or rent lots, struggling clubs, and sex bed sales made up the majority of [...]

Justine Babii – Post 6 Grrrrrl
[I apologize for my extended absence, loyal Herald readers, but I had some offworld things to attend to. Please accept along with my apology this week's model, Justine Babii, in a special SLebrity edition of Post 6. As you can see from the pictures, Justine is amazing and a pleasure to work with. Thank you Justine for dragging me back into this.~Timothy Morpork]

Hello Herald! I like to call this pose "Putting your money where your mouth is!"
For those who don't know me, I used to be a blogger for several SL news services, and I was also the Post 6 Photographer for a while. I dropped out of Second Life for a couple of years and have now found my way back.

One of the few people on my friends list who is regularly on these days is Carol Pixelmaid-Morpork, wife of Post 6 Photographer Timothy, so she and I hang out a lot. Recently, Timothy got me to pose for his Beautiful Avatars blog, and so I took advantage of that to get him to help get the Herald moving again.
"Why don't you pose?!" Timothy said. His wife Carol joined him in praising this as a good idea. I have to say I see the merit of it, as Timothy does make me look a LOT better than I usually feel And now you see why I also call this pose, "Putting your money where your mouth is."

So, you get to see the news lady naked, the bits the blogger probably wants to keep off the webs. I'd do that for the Herald. It's a worthy cause and I hope any of you who agree with me will contact Timothy Morpork and sign up to do Post 6, or if you have a story idea, contact me, or if you can write, contact Pixeleen for an interview. Let's re-energize the best game blog, the best virtual world blog, the best virtual news source....whatever this is, let's get it going again.
Finally, in the rider in my "appearing nekkid" contract there are a couple of things I get as perks. In addition to Jimbo Quality picking the brown M&M's out of the bowls in my dressing room, I have the right to plug my friend Carol's store, and, despite his protestations, plug her husband Timothy's blog, where you can see more of me from the Post 6 shoot as well as his other awesome pictures.
Thank you Timothy for coming back, and thank you for making me look so beautiful. I hope you all like the pictures, they were fun to make and the start of what I hope is many more great weeks of Post 6 here on the Alphaville Herald.

Fashion-Forward in Second Life: The Viktor-Viktoria Fashion Show
by Justine Babii - SL supermodel/fashionista I logged into SL the other day for the first time in ages, and only one of the old gang was online. I haven't been a regular here in years, so I guess this should be no surprise. I IM'd my friend and then ended up hanging out with her. [...]

Just randomly browsing round the metaverse can actually prove useful. I found that out a little while ago, when I stumbled upon Gotham. I had first seen Gotham when it was mid-construction, so it didn’t look too good. It also took forever to build, so I personally thought it would take FOREVER to open. |

Earlier this week, the world was rocked by some startling and unimaginable news from NBC's New York affiliate, WNBC: There's an online game called Second Life and people are having sex in the game! Yes, in a devastating 2 minute expose, Michael Garguilo, ace reporter, took a steamy trip to the "dark side" of Second Life and found horrors beyond imagination - horrors that OUR CHILDREN can now take part in! [ZOMG!!!

Brain-computer interface for Second Life

martes, 01 mayo 2007 |
 While recent developments in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology have given humans the power to mentally control computers, nobody has used the technology in conjunction with the Second Life online virtual world — until now. A research team led by professor Jun’ichi Ushiba of the Keio University Biomedical Engineering Laboratory has developed a BCI system that lets the user walk an avatar through the streets of Second Life while relying solely on the power of thought. To control the avatar on screen, the user simply thinks about moving various body parts — the avatar walks forward when the user thinks about moving his/her own feet, and it turns right and left when the user imagines moving his/her right and left arms. read more |
