  1. I don't want to turn your world upside down too much, but here is the Victorian version;
  2. They've listened and lowered the prices and offered a pretty reasonable subscription option; Monthly unlimited usage subscription plan for $9.95US/£6.95UK. No commitment – cancel anytime. Reduced hourly rates – only $1US/£0.70UK per hour (the free 20-minute trial remains in effect). Expanded international support: now 36 countries http://joyardley.wordpress.com/2014/04/03/slgo-will-cost-9-95-a-month-with-unlimited-usage/
  3. Oh and btw, we also discussed this subject in the Drax files radio show; http://draxfiles.com/2014/03/21/show-11-the-road-to-vr/
  4. Great to see this discussion, so many swell ideas. As I wrote in my blog, no need to stop advertising that sexy side of SL, but just add some of the other sides as well now and then. One woman in bikini, one woman in space suit, one man in cowboy outfit, etc. That would cost no extra effort of money. Pile it on, the best thing about SL is the limitlesss options when it comes to imagination and creativity. Try stuffing that into an ad. And although this is of course much too long for an advertisement I still want to share this video because it is awesome, a glimpse of the future if you're a hopeless optimist and also beause even though it still has romance and love as a subject, it manages to make their virtual world not something randy;
  5. Check your spam folder as well Won't hurt to email them again though. And don't forget to visit the Oculus Test area http://joyardley.wordpress.com/2013/12/23/oculus-rift-real-scale-test-area/
  6. Yes, if you haven't, perhaps it is a good idea to send them another email.
  7. I am on an Alienware laptop. I have ultra settings turned on all the time. I am not the first, it is not even that uncommon. And if you're willing to pay, you can even get SL ultra on a tablet or lower grade old computer via SLGo.
  8. Maybe it is time you upgrade your hardware. For me at ultra settings SL is not slow, is often without lag and loads fine.
  9. In this case, email to the email address in the message Linden Lab posted.
  10. It didn't bother me at all. And I did the roller coaster demo standing up and backwards. Mind you, the second development kit is already a lot less 'sickening'.
  11. Second Life starts Beta testing Oculus Rift viewer; http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Tools-and-Technology/Second-Life-s-Oculus-Rift-Integration-is-Ready-for-Beta-Testers/ba-p/2544572

The package I received already allowed me to run SL on the tv with OnLive, but I don't have a tv. It will never be free, but I do hope it will get cheaper, I guess it depends on how many people will be using it and perhaps if LL can make a nice deal for us, for instance give all premium members a few hours free a month. We did an interview with the OnLive people here; http://draxfiles.com/2014/03/07/show-9-sl-go/ And here are a few of the points that were made; http://joyardley.wordpress.com/2014/03/06/slgo-qa/

  15. Second Life goes mobile! http://joyardley.wordpress.com/2014/03/05/slgo/
  16. No worries. Do a youtube on him some time, he is in some very funny and interesting videos
  17. Asking google that would have been faster than typing your question here He is a very very very famous English comedian, actor, writer, presenter, and activist.

But having found this just as I came online I did want to take advantage of the chance to be the first one in. I wish you hadn't revealed this, Jo. After all these years I'd hoped that was all forgotten. But yes, it's true. You can't possibly imagine what it felt like to first look upon my avatar and see myself finally rid of that bent nose. Marry me.
  19. More about this picture here; http://joyardley.wordpress.com/2014/02/21/stephen-fry-about-second-life/
  20. I agree, I would love to pay less tier and get more prims and more land, but in the end how many people visit my sim matters more.
  21. Oh my god, is she really bringing that very very very dead topic back to live? Yes I am. Eeeeeek zombie topic alert! Its just that I really like this topic and want to see more pictures like this. And my avatar also just turned 5, so I thought it was about time I updated my evolution picture;
