Exploring alternatives to Second Life

Posted on August 31, 2012 by Erik Gordon Bainbridge (Apollo Manga)

With Second Life® undergoing profound changes, many of us who love it have been left wondering how we should react to the changes.  Some people have been exploring other virtual worlds and a few of us have been experimenting with building our own.  In future posts, I’ll be writing about both. In particular, I’ll be…

Machinima of The Man burning yesterday

Posted on October 9, 2011 by Erik Gordon Bainbridge (Apollo Manga)

If you missed the burning of The Man in Burn 2 yesterday, like I did, you can view it in a very nice machinima on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJKSp4amIlg. It can’t match the experience of being there, but the machinima itself is very nicely done.

Burn 2 – what a disappointment!

Posted on October 8, 2011 by Erik Gordon Bainbridge (Apollo Manga)

What a disappointment!  You wait a year to see The Man burn in Burn 2 in Second Life, only to see a black void while others can see it and be part of it with no problem! What went wrong?  I have no idea.  Some people could see the Man burn and could add logs…

Where is everyone?

Posted on August 13, 2011 by Erik Gordon Bainbridge (Apollo Manga)

Attendance at this year’s Second Life Community convention is much less than I expected.  The last time I attended one, in 2009, halls were crowded with SL residents conversing and the Grand Ballroom was packed.  This year there are a lot fewer of us.  It’s disappointing that I’ve only met two people so far who…

Lighting for portrait photography in SL

Posted on August 13, 2011 by Erik Gordon Bainbridge (Apollo Manga)

At SLCC today, Stefan Buscaylet  gave an informative presentation about portrait photography in Second Life.  The photographic tools available in Viewer 2 are far more versatile than I realized, and should appeal to serious RL photographers.  I’ll write more about this in the future, after I’ve had a chance to work on it myself.

Don’t let a landbot take your Second Life land

Posted on April 26, 2011 by Erik Gordon Bainbridge (Apollo Manga)

My last post was about a landbot was able to buy for only eight cents the Second Life™ land that I had planned to sell for $150.  Today I wrote a column on examiner.com that tells more about it.  You can read it at www.examiner.com/second-life-in-national/don-t-let-a-landbot-take-your-second-life-land. Landbots have been a problem in Second Life for at…

Can someone really take your $150 Second Life land from you for only eight cents? Yes they can.

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Erik Gordon Bainbridge (Apollo Manga)

When Saturday morning dawned, Hawk Lightcloud was looking forward to a starting his eighth year in Second Life by buying a full region with two friends.  They intended making a beautiful place that would enhance Second Life.   He had sold 75% of his Second Life mainland property a few days before and was marking…
