Greenies Declare Independence from Second Life

The Greenies are off the SL grid and out across the burgeoning metaverse. They landed first about 3 years ago on Second LIfe and welcomed more than 4 million visitors. They encourage all avatars to consider the spirit of freedom and openness and to be independent of the melodramas at Linden Lab. Take one last ride of the bottle rocket and do some random stuff on the last Rezzable sim on the SL grid. It is being deleted on the 04th of July. 

Greenies have left the gridWhy have we finally blasted-off from the SL grid? We are just fed-up paying $295/month to a company that has no interest in its paying customers. All the noise coming out about what SL might be is just that--a lot of noise. We've had enuff.

Sunday, June 27th, 2010: The Greenies Went Home

Thanks to everyone who stopped in to say goodbye to the Greenies as they took off for the Rezzable Grid!  There was much exploding and fireworks to celebrate their departure (I'll try to post photos, soon).  All that remains is the blast crater, a bottle rocket, and a mysterious green glow. Be sure to click on the rocket to follow the Greenies and get more information about the Heritage Key and Rezzable grids- but do it soon, the sim will be gone forever after June 30th.

Final Weekend at Greenies

 Bye Bye Birdie...

This is your last chance to grab dozens of freebies and exclusive sale items at Greenies Home in SL.  We have one more BIG SURPRISE on Monday, June 28th- and then the Greenies will be moving to the Rezzable Grid for good...

I've also set up one more secret stash of FREE gifts somewhere in the sim, but you have to find the Original Greenies Table to get them... (hint: look up!). Just some goofy stuff to say thanks for years of fun. :)

We've also got a few surprises and free gifts from the Heritage Key Grid... be sure to take a last look before it all disappears...

It all happens on MONDAY, so stay tuned for final updates!

Greenies Party as they pack to go to Rezzable Grid

Greenies came to Second Life in August 2007 and instantly brought in many fans along. It has been since then the playground of Second Life where people freely and nicely played around with their cars, flew their rockets around and simply amazed by the familiar setting of a kitchen and hidden mischievous Greenies. Through almost three years, we endless amounts of music , contests, and many more live events that kept bringing our fans back to Greenies. The kitchen had an extension at some point the Greenies Lawn which brought the sunshine to the Greenies home.

Greenies Go Home (at last!)

 

Greenies Home in SL to Hold Final Event on June 23rd, 2010

My Second Life began with an alien abduction.

I was two weeks old, proudly wearing a skirt I'd made out of an Atoll terrain texture, and trying to figure out how to use the SL building tools in the Wanderton Sandbox  (at least I didn't have a cube on my head...).  Out of nowhere, I was accosted by a little green man who called himself Light Waves, and my life (in all worlds) would never be the same again.

By now, most of you are familiar with Light Waves' mischievous creations: diminutive aliens that delight in causing mayhem wherever they go; original characters that lit the spark of imagination across SL and inspired thousands of visitors over a period of three years.  

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to build a home for these little green rascals with my talented and amazing partner, Pavig Lok, and working with the Greenies opened up the world of SL to us in beautiful and unexpected ways.

Molotov Alva -- Still Top Virtual Online Machinima

Machinima shot in the virtual world as a real-time collaboration is not so easy (even if people like Lainy Voom make it look that way.) The good ones should not be missed.  It still surprised me that virtual world devotees have not yet seen the really amazing Molotov Alva machinima series. So this is a reminder and links for the many people that I have spewed to about the series. I watched it again recently and it does a great job of laying out the virtual landscape. It captures that sense of wonder and possibility fantastically.  Show creator Douglas Gayeton touches on some of the personal discoveries that can be made while wandering the synthetic landscape, populated with random avatars controlled by real people. I personally didn't like the ending (although maybe that is sensible in fact)--but at least it is more clear than the ending of "Lost".

Great Machinima by Lainy Voom: Dagon by HP Lovecraft

If you have ever seen a machinima and/or been to a virtual online area--you need to see Lainy's latest work--"Dagon by HP Lovecraft". What you will see is cinematic. It is storytelling using the newest medium of online collaboration and production. The film is a result of Lainy's singular vision, refinement of technique and artisty over the years. It is sorta scary also ;0  It will give you both the idea that machinima is a great new form as well as how hard it is to make a great one. Check it out below:
