Grendel's Children: Fantasy Wonderland!

Grendel's Children is a phenomena in Second Life - you are bound to have heard of them one way or another. Either because of their amazingly cheap avatars (complete avatars between 50L$ and 250L$), or their impressive dragon builds, huge prim-made avatars with great animations overrides to move these giants.

But who knew one of Second Life greatest (and cheapest) avatar shops also housed one of the most beautiful, natural role play areas for dragons and fairies? The shop of Grendel's Children is well done (especially the 2 docked airships) but the really amazing experience starts underneath the sky shop, in the 4 sims wide savanna/desert area with lots of secrets to explore.

Rezzables Crimson Shadow

After Yesterdays 'Carnaval of Doom' I visited another Rezzable sim that has been around for a while, but for some reason has always escaped my attention. The Crimson Shadows is a Vampire Haven, and does the name justice. Rivers of blood flowinside the impressive mansion which is rumoured to even have links directly to Hell itself...

One of the must see places if you are into goth or dark fantasy, this is eithert he best, or clsoe to the best sim made in this setting. The textures and architecture are nothing short of amazing. I recommend visiting all 4 area's (The Mansion, the Gallery, the Room, and Hell), Each one is part of this impressive build.

Rezzables ~Carnival of Doom~

Today I visited Rezzables ~Carnival of Doom~. A themed sim with the suggestive tagline 'The Last Ride of your Life'. You start at the ticket booth where you simple have to click to get a 'ticket', a HUD attachment that tells you your life percentage...

It didn't take long to find out WHY exactly I needed this Life percentage as after sitting on the carousel for over a few minutes and trying to get off I found myself the victim of an 'accident' which apparently caused the death of me, sending me straight to hell! (And here I was thinking I had been such a good girl).

After waiting for the gods to pass judgment I was send back to the realm of the living, re-entering the carnival at the ticket office. Lesson Learned. Carefully avoiding the merry-go-around I saw several interesting tents and booths, most of which seemed to be out of order, and judging by the amount of blood spatter presumably after some of the tricks as performed on the 'wheel of death' for example ended with well... death.

Besides the entertainment there where some food stands. Corn-on-a-stick (which make you puke), Cotton Candy (which make you puke), Slushies (Which make you puke even more) and Hot Dogs made with grade A dog meat (which obviously make you puke). Next up was were the oddity shows, a cow with 2 heads, a fat woman and the brilliantly made living marionette puppet.

Saving the best for last I was excited to get on the giant wheel, but once there I was disappointed with yet another 'Out of Service' sign. Looking back that was probably for the best, because the booths inside the wheel literally come crashing down every now and again.

Overall I really recommend Carnival of Doom, a sinister, well made interactive sim with a good amount of humor and clever builds. (Especially the little bug and the magnifying glass in the oddities show).

AMAZING medieval architecture: Arcana Nuevo

One of the most beautiful builds I've encounteres so far is undoubtedly the beautiful 'Arcana Nuevo'. The Luxerious villa is really SL architecture at its best, with large libraries, labratories, studies, pools, balconies, dungeon and much more this has been build to impress. I recommend setting sun to midnight and spend some time to explore this sim, I was most impressed.

UPDATE - Chalice Yao made this beautiful slideshow:

Little Japan: Kowloon

Another quick photopost of the beautiful sim called Kowloon. This Japanese city reminded me of Midian, but its not a role play sim (in fact, its a PG sim). Its created by magnum Yoshikawa of Jet-Graphics.com.

Much To My dismay I found the sim deserted, but my disappointment didn't last very long as I was overtake by the beautiful setup of this 'carp' like sim.

Japanese Sims make cliches come true

Engrish, second language to all Japanese. The 'creative' use of the English language trough translators or simply spelling vocally has reached Second Life and has lived up to its standards. Giving birth to classics such as 'All your base are belong to us' the oeuvre is getting richer on a daily basis. More examples can be found at 'Plim Hair - Fine your S.Life'.

When you come here, adjust the sun settings to make the sky really red, like a sunrise or sunset, but not the pre-set ones in the force-sunset list.
(Ctrl-Alt-M & for Mouse Moves Sun, then go into Mouselook to put the sun where you want it).
And turn your draw distance (Edit-Preferences-Graphics) WAY up. It's WORTH IT.
