SL Boxing Partnership Implodes. David Jacobs demos complex.
By Gina Fatale After the success of SLB’s Boxingmania it comes as somewhat of a shock to learn that one half of the partnership that owns Second Life Boxing has become a traitor and demolished the boxing complex. David Jacobs (for whatever reason we cannot confirm yet) has backed out of SLB cursing his long [...]
Full StoryThe game within the game III: Simcast gets crafty
In previous posts we have covered the development of the simcast project — a medieval themed D&D type PvP game being built on two sims (Simcast and Bedford) within Second Life.

Full StoryTwo Parties while the Wizzards work late
Was a busy night in SL last night. Two club grand openings: One Song’s new Club Erotic, and the new Club Elite on Elite Island. But no sooner did I get done doing my paparazzi thing at those events but I was summoned back to the SimCast dev tower. Seems the latest SL update induced [...]

Full StoryFrancis Chung: Hugs and Guns
Kudos to Hamlet Linden over on New World Notes, for his two part story on the legendary SL scripter, Francis Chung, who not only has made the best guns in SL (the Seburo Compact-Exploder) but now has made the best hugging animation too! Erm, as you all know, I?m not down with hugging, but I?ve [...]
Full StoryThe D&D Game within the Game: Simcast?s Secret Project
The other day I checked the events list in SL, and found the usual fare: naked bingo, scripting classes, sales on fetishware. Tired of this action I decided to fly around aimlessly. A couple minutes later I came across a large castle, with what looked like a gigantic spoon out front ? no it was [...]
Full StoryInterview with Opfor founder Jack Orlowski (aka bicycle maker William Bukowski)
Jack Orlowski (Jacko) is kind of legend around Jessie, both for founding Opfor, and also for the exquisite detail on his guns. He?s been away for a bit, and is now trying to scrape together some cash to reactivate his Jacko account (too much land can put you in hock to the Lindens, it seems), [...]
