Home Run Derby played live in Second Life

Second Life Insider

Jul 14th 2006 1:41PM Now if only there would be something cool brought in from RL - like football. Too bad the world cup is just over. I would love to see the virtual version of Zidane 0wning.

But thats just me.

1.10.6 Update!

Second Life Insider

Jul 13th 2006 1:32AM Yea, I actually get the all gray/grey thing from time to time. This evening it did it to me, and no matter what I do - everything stays till I quit and rejoin.

Lots of Fun!

Oh, and the version makes perfect sense (I'd like to reinteraite that)

1.10.6 Update!

Second Life Insider

Jul 12th 2006 9:29PM I personally found that the game ran a little smoother with faster texture downloads. Might not have anything to the patch, but no lag issues for me - at least nothing out of the ordinary.

And 10 in a version makes perfect sense, as it is the number that comes directly after...9... and directly before 11.

Sound Advice

Jul 11th 2006 4:41PM Meh. I'd have to disagree with Torley on this one. I have a couple problems with voice chat, and maybe its just because of personal experience.

#1 - people are generally more annoying on VC than IM. #2 - VC is much more intrusive IRL. #3 - Once people get into that mindset of voicechat - if you don't have/want/use it - you get left out of 90% of everything.

At least, these are bits I've noticed from my MMORPG days.

Jul 11th 2006 2:56PM I think this entire internationalization problem is getting pushed a bit out of hand. Griefers are Griefers are Griefers. No matter the nationality, just as you said. But "regular" players are just the same regardless of the nationality. If 1 in 25 players from the US are griefers, and 1 in 30 from the rest of the world are griefers... Does it really matter? I dont think so. There will be more "regular" players also to balance out the influx of griefers.

Also, for those interested - see the recent town hall meeting transcript

Uno theme decks on the way

Xbox 360 Fanboy

May 11th 2006 12:04AM For all thoes times you have a high-def screen, 360, power, but no deck of cards - you have UNO on the 360.

To be fair though, thats awesome, especially that you can play any time on Live against people. As soon as i heard of uno on the 360 I bought it.
