This Saturday 24th July 2010 2-4pm SL Time (10-midnight UK)

Come join us at the Ambrosia Dance Club for a weekend party not to be missed. The sim will be locked out at 50 Avatars and for a chance to win some L$ in prizes, make sure you get there early.

Please don’t dress up in HUGE Av’s or bring any weapons if your costume includes them. Thx.

Music from all years and all your face requests. It’s gonna be a packed 2 hour event and I look forward to seeing you all there.

Ultrateque have just released the new line of shoulder pets. The BUN-E. Featuring the built-in chatbot system run by Pandora bots.

Not only do they animate and blink their eyes, they say random messages to random avatars around them. Of course those messages can be edited in a simple notecard by the owner. Also, the name can be changed by the owner too.

The main feature of course is the chatbot system. Again, with this release, Ultrateque has given the owner the ability to either use the included chatbot, or an option to use your very own Pandorabot. Thus giving you total control over all replies to unlimited questions.

The BUN-E’s are available in Pink and Blue at present and can either be purchased separately or together in a double pack saving you some L$.

Both do the same thing. Either wear the BUN-E on your shoulder or rez it somewhere. It works either way. It will choose a random name to begin with. And it will be ready to greet you (and others) and also be able to answer any question you throw at it.

e.g.. Hi stinky, what day is it? Stinky, sing me a song. Tell me a joke stinky. etc. Basically anything!

The BUN-E’s can be purchased in-store at Ultrateque store and also available on XStreetSL.

BUN-E (Double Pack) or  BUN-E (Blue) or  BUN-E (Pink)

(DEMO version also available at the store)

The sculpted prim used for the BUN-E Cartoon Edition was created by Jenia Karu who also sells other great products.  Check the full perm version here: Bunny Toys (Full Perm) .

Studio4D are just about to release a new dance animation! I for one am looking forward to it. I love their work and this new release seems to be the dogs dangly bits.

Check out the video above and for more details visit the Studio4D BlogSpot.

Second life always seems to be full of fun things to do and see. A couple of years ago, a few friends and myself visited a place called Bedrock. I hadn’t been there since, but just last week I decided to see if the place still remained and to my amazement, it is still there!

The place is signposted, but if you are like myself and Dailyn (who was on this visit with me), then you will ignore the signs and just wanna wander around.

Now don’t get me wrong, maybe a couple of years ago, this place looked amazing. By todays standards, it’s not nearly as great! It could do with a total revamp, maybe making use of sculpted prims and less dance balls and throw in an intan dance machine instead. etc.

However, the little touches that made me smile are still there and brought back a smile to my face at least. Yeah I am easily amused. But, check out the stylus on the record players. Simply class

Then of course there is the bowling alley! Again, nothing great and not exactly free to play, but it all adds to another fun time at Bedrock. Most annoyingly is having to use cam view to bowl and then having to come back out again to pick up the next bowling ball. Not good by todays standards! Sort of stuck in the stone age!!! ahem! Moving on…

Classic or what! Elephant fire engine! Which would be needed if this next guy didn’t do his job right I guess…

It is indeed all very primitive stuff! Even down to the textures and prims! But hey, you do get a gift store to spend your L$ in too. Wanna dress up as Fred? Nah! Me either…but you can if u wanna! Or you could do what myself and Dailyn did….just pose behind the cardboard (well..prim) cut-outs. A-la postcard from the beach style!

Finally, after a hard day of yabbadabbadoo’n, what could be more relaxing than spending some quality time with your partner at a drive in movie?

Well it was great to see the old place still existed. And it did bring back some memories, but in all honesty, the magic of seeing it first time a couple of years ago had gone. SL has progressed a lot in the last couple of years for sure.

But if you have nothing better to, grab your loved one by the hair, after hitting her over the head with a club of course, and drag her with you and have some happy Bedrocking fun.

Sometimes it’s good to take a step back from the daily grind and remember those absolutely silly times you have in Second Life that you know you will remember in days and months to come! Gee, Dai, Jewells and Jas got together yesterday for some Bank Holiday Monday giggles. Pint sized avatars, oversized appendages, some huuuuuuuge facelights were equipped, and a game of Onigokko was thrown in for good measure…and we hadn’t even been drinking..honest!
