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.
