Have you visited the new Destination Guide Mesh Showcase?

It’s only been two days since the formal rollout of mesh in Second Life, but some amazing creations are already starting to surface. For example, artist claudia222 jewell has created the surreal and sticky Mesh Mellows, where human-bug hybrids dwell in a creepy underground abyss. 

The SL fashion blogosphere is also abuzz about the many form-fitting mesh fashions starting to roll out, such as those by Jane, Dirty Lynx, Curious Kitties and LaRosa.

To see these advanced mesh creations in action, visit the Mesh Showcase in the Destination Guide. However, you’ll need to use a mesh-enabled viewer, such as Viewer 3.

Are you a creator who is using mesh in a new and innovative way? If so, tell us about your designs, fashions or environments using the Destination Guide Suggestion Submission form to be considered for the Mesh Showcase.

A film called Life 2.0 will air Thursday evening on OWN (Oprah’s TV network). The documentary premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010 and follows several Second Life users, illustrating some of the ways Second Life affected their offline lives (and vice versa).

You can watch the trailer for the film here, and check out some past reviews from Second Life Resident (and Betterverse blogger) Rik Riel, as well as from The New York Times, the Huffington Post, and the Village Voice.

The film and its portrayal of Second Life inspire a mix of reactions from audiences. If you watch the movie, we encourage you to add your voices and personal perspectives on Second Life to the conversations the film may spark — it’s a good opportunity for us all to talk about what we think makes Second Life interesting and special. If you’re on Twitter, you can join the conversation at #Life2.0.

One of the most innovative games we've seen in Second Life is the limited-time "scavenger adventure" game "Horror Night." Grab your free HUD when you arrive and then seek-to-find the hidden items to collect them all and complete your quest. Once you do, you'll get a special item that you'll use to collect your reward and solve the mystery.

While scavenger hunts are in abundance in SL, "Horror Night" employs some innovative techniques to assume control of your camera during triggered "events" in your journey. There are scares aplenty in this fun adventure, which runs through the end of August.  

Visit the developer's website to find more info on this game and the backstory-- but be sure to use Google Translate since it is in Japanese.
