GRID NEWS
SHOCK, HORROR-Valentine’s Day pandemonium broke out on Sunday at the Kiss a Linden event...........
No it didn’t, I was being sarcastic. It was as crap as it is every year. I did go over to have a look, but all I saw was noobs wandering aimlessly just like every other year. Maybe it’s my time zone, but I never ever get to see a Linden at these things never mind kiss one.
I did notice on the SL Blog that there was going to be some sort of Scavenger hunt with clues. The clues could be found at various places. They could also be found on the Face Book social networking site, should you be arsed to go find them. I did try to take part in this fun(/me rolls eyes) event but my attention span isn’t great and I got side tracked looking at some of the sl residents accounts on Face Book instead. While doing this it was brought to my attention by one of the SLIWT Team that you aren’t allowed to have a Face Book account with a fake name. In the real world this would constitute your avatar name. NewsFlash......Your avatar name isn’t real.
For all you social butterflies who like to Tweet, Plurk, Facebook, BeBo and My Space your days away there is now something else you can get addicted to that is just as pointless. Someone called me up the other day to ask me why they couldn’t find me to friend me on the social networking site for gaming avatars, appropriately named Avatars United. I have no intention of joining this, but in the name of investigative journalism one of the SLIWT covert team went and made an account. He said he immediately felt the love after being sent friend requests from about a zillion people. The only thing was he didn’t know the people and the rush of love quickly turned to spam. I am not putting the link to it in because it’s stupid. Chances are most people are already in it and are feeling the spam.
Another news topic that still seems to be dominating the grid is the copybotting and content theft. Some people just don’t realise the extent that some of our well known creators and designers go to to sort out those who rip and steal. Just last week I bumped into my very cool friend, Rustica owner, Maxwell Graf. Max had filed reports about content theft to the DMCA and hadn’t heard anything back. It was time for desperate measures.
Just in case DMCA people are reading this Max has had to do this in world over his Sims and he would be very grateful if someone could contact him asap.
A tip for anyone filing DMAC reports DON’T EMAIL THEM. They don’t respond to email and will only respond to fax or posted mail, and endeavour to do this within 3 days.
It struck me as very bizarre the amount of people who looked at me like I was insane whenever I mentioned Sion Chickens to them. Most people hadn’t a clue what I was talking about, but then I don’t spend all my time pretending to be a perfect SL resident. I like to spend my SL time laughing and I really do like to go out and poke dead things with sticks. I tried to take a few people to show them the chicken farms but I couldn’t. For some reason I am region banned from these places . I was a bit pissed off at this because I don’t actually remember doing anything worthy of this, but I am sure whoever added me to it done it as a precautionary measure for what could have happened.
Anyway, who cares? So what, chickens are like soooooo 2009, shove your chicken farms and your region ban up your ass, bunny rabbits are in for 2010. I was so hoping the Flying Monkey would take off as the pet to have in 2010, but it wasn’t the case.
The bunnies are brill and are similar to the chickens only you don’t have to worry about people choking them by lifting them out of their cages on big mega prims so they walk of the edges of Sims, fall off and die. The bunnies don’t die like the chickens do, but they breed and you can still make money if you breed a super duper bunny. Get your bunny stuff below.
