Crap Mariner's Blogroll Summary Project
Back in June of last year I posted an incomplete list of just some of the virtual-world themed blog and forum websites out there. (There are a lot.) Some people have found it useful and I've definitely popped back into it to grab a link now and then. But it was just a bulleted and hyperlinked list.
Crap Mariner is listing blogs and including quick summaries of the type of content you might find on the sites. Potentially very helpful stuff, so I'm gonna put the word out here. Check it out.

Forum Whore Seeks Laughing Skype Devil
We're looking for the animated Skype smiley of the devil who laughs and throws his head back maniacally and shows his teeth for use in forum and blog posts.
Help.
Help.
100 words from dada about a dentist
dadatic, a forum poster and writer I have enjoyed for years, indulged me with this little 100-word story that he graciously gave me permission to share. Enjoy.
You'll pardon him if he does not read it aloud and record a sound bite...for obvious reasons.
My dentist was injured today while she was torturing me. I didn't bite her. She cut herself with one of her instruments. While she ran to cure her wound, I stayed there with an open mouth, not because I was dumbfounded, but because she had not given me permission to close it. Fortunately she could soon resume the operation, as her wound was not really serious. But it's my first time of rightfully shared pain at the dentist's. She quickly disposed of my tooth before I could say a word. Now what am I going to put beneath my pillow?

A Joke's No Good If You Have To Explain It
I went from pop-up museums (some of which allow visitors to contribute exhibit pieces to give the museum a shared historical authority) to THE Pop-up Museum. Tad Low and Woody (Thompson) are the creators of the VH1 Pop-up Video concept, which included bubbles and "info nuggets." The name of their company was Spin the Bottle, Inc. Pop-Up Video was VH1's highest-rated show until Behind the Music took that spot and Pop-Up Video was known for it's playfully sexual content. Ben Stiller made a movie called "A Night at the Museum." I'm the "Archivist" in a virtual world. I was a contributor to the 100 Word Story Challenge.
The age requirement for entry into the Pop-Up Museum was a tad low. The archive was notorious for both subtle sexual innuendo and blatant obscenity. Info nuggets created byWoody were a virtual aphrodisiac. A night at the museum, including a visit to the Bubbly Bar and the various zeitgeisty exhibits, produced more pheromones than an unchaperoned game of spin the bottle in Mom and Dad’s basement. More than once security had to be called to discreetly deal with inappropriate behavior behind the music installations. Janitors were later called to clean up the “shared historical authority” left by enthusiastic “contributors.”
That's the way my little mind works.

Brainz Torment & Speed Bump in Second Life
I'm a fan of Guitar Zane so when he told me he had begun a new venture in Second Life games, I had to check it out. The game I tried was Speed Bump. It's similar to Password. You're given a clue, like a saying, actor, movie, food item, etc. and you have to get your team to say the clue. There is a timer and the game throws "speed bumps" your way to slow you down. GZ wanted me to get the full experience, so he assembled a party in Nic and Molly's house and we played with a group of about 8-10 for hours. It's addictive.
There is a 20-minute demo copy at the store site. secondlife:///app/worldmap/Finse/101.766/247.703/48.4889
You can play in your own chairs or rez the tire seats that come with the game for a thematic feel. That pic above is the demo outside the Brainz Torment store. The three below are from Nic and Molly's game room at their home.
We played in both voice and text for our game. I admit to hopping out of my RL and SL seats trying to convey a word or phrase to my teammates while watching the clock tick down, keeping an eye on local chat and listening to my teammates in voice and trying to unlock my brain and mouth to get something useful out.
At one point I got the category of "Food" and the clue was "Roquefort." I'm not proud of how we got there, but my team did figure it out before the clock ran out. I started them with a song you sing in rounds and ended with something kids make out of furniture and sheets (Row, row, row your boat and living room forts.) Oh sure. You judge me now, but if you had 90 seconds to get someone to say "Roquefort" what would you say? Un hunh.
Ima and I had so much fun we decided we needed a Speed Bump for the CAC Clubhouse. I bought one that very night and set it up on the beach. You may want to turn your volume down if you happen to be flying by one night and see a bunch of CACers sitting in tires on the beach.
Thanks to Guitar Zane, Balley Bernard, Lyric Serendipity, Merlin Edwardstone, Shahayla Tearfall, Biggles Magic, Nic Kelberry, Molly Medier, Samantha Bosch, Leri Miles and Ima and Sylvia for a great time last night. Thanks to Nic and Molly for hosting.

REVERBNATION, Brainz Torment & SpeedBump
I'm listening to Second Life artists on
http://www.reverbnation.com.
I played a boisterous game of Speed Bump by Brainz Torment last night in Second Life with Balley, Guitar Zane and Lyric and with Merlin, Molly, Nic, Sam, Shahayla and Biggles Magic too.
Lyric's speaking voice is pure honey and she is a brilliant game partner. Balley sounds exactly like Keith Carradine (FBI Special Agent Frank Lundy on Dexter).
I'm a big fan of Guitar Zane and enjoy attending his concerts. You can hear and see him at his website: http://www.guitarzane.com/.
Now it seems he has branched out into game development with his musical friends.
