Second Life Magazine… what now?

Friday, June 27th, 2008

It seems that the German “SLM” (Second Life Magazin) is likely to be discontinued after just 7 issues. Rumors talk about problems with subscriptions and delivery. So even the new publishing company doesn’t seem to get this thing going… too bad.

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

second life eaAs read here, Electronic Arts has relaunched the online version of their ubersuccessful kinda-real-life-drama game “The Sims” and included it into EA Land… and made it FREE OF CHARGE.

Oriental dreams come true in Second Life

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

There is an awesome role play sim on SecondLife, I came across: 1001 Nights on Purgatorio (teleport). Like on every RP sim, visitors are asked to wear an observer tag (puts an visual object over your avatar to make you differentiable from its inhabitants). Yet there is so much stuff to see. Very amazing indeed! Great work!
