“Oh my!”, was the reaction I gave myself when I found out how much 1A Bot cost. All the while I thought Thoys SL Bot was already expensive at 2,000L$ but now, compared to 1A Bot, it’s very cheap.

I first found out about the cost of 1A Bot from another resident who inquired about Thoys SL Bot. According to this resident, he was very disappointed with 1A Bot because he was having trouble camping with it and he wanted to know if Thoys SL Bot was much easier to use. By the way, 1A Bot is also known as PikkuBot.

Well, personally, I did find Thoys SL Bot easy to use but I can’t say the same thing with 1A Bot since I haven’t used it. So, I decided to download the latest version of PikkuBot and got myself a 5 days trial at Shop OnRez (which I wasn’t able to use). Unfortunately, I uninstalled it as fast as I installed it.

You see, I found it not very user friendly and the instructions on how to get started is kinda long. A non-technical person might get lost along the way.

I prefer programs with easy setup. You know, something like download, install and login which can be found with SLeek, Second Messenger and METAbolt (I’ll feature METAbolt next) which by the way are all FREE!

Ahoy mateys, yesterday I had the chance to download and install Disney’s mmorpg or online version of their very popular pirate title Pirates of the Caribbean after learning that it has a Basic Account option which is FREE!

The game, Pirates of the Caribbean Online, will take you to the cutthroat world of the Infamous Captain Jack Sparrow. In fact, he was the very first character I met inside the game even before I created my pirate character.

Speaking of my pirate character, creating a character is very simple and if you don’t want to waste time at it then you can always generate a random one. Me? I went through the process of creating my own character and I even typed in my own character name which is “Kabalyero” but it is still subject for review and approval. Once approved, it will be my character’s name in Pirates of the Caribbean Online.

Anyway, I didn’t do much in-game because I kinda spent a lot of time downloading the section required to proceed. This is what I noticed about the game, it downloads what it needs when it needs it from the server to your machine. This made the installation client very small but if you have a very fast connection then you’ll have no problems with it but if you are using a dial-up connection then you’ll be spending more time downloading than playing the game. Anyway, I wouldn’t recommend playing this game with a dial-up connection to anyone.

Yesterday, I received an invite to SocioTown’s beta test. SocioTown is a web based 3D Massively Multiplayer Online Social Game (MMOSG) developed by Outside The Box Software and since it’s web-based, it means that you play SocioTown in your browser. There is no client to download and install. The game uses Adobe Shockwave Player which are already available in most browsers and, besides, you can always download and install the player, if your browser doesn’t have it, which is very small.

After going through the character creation process which was very simple, I logged in and found my character in jail. I find it weird for a game like this to have newbies start in jail. While in jail, I had a series of conversation with some NPCs that eventually led to having my character named, my password set and my e-mail confirmed. After that my character was set free. It was just a case of mistaken identity.

Today, I spent a few minutes at The Roman Empire region in Second Life to take a few video clips of the on-going Gladiator Fights. I used the video clips I took of the fight to create a simple music video which I then submitted to Koinup as an entry to their 1st. Second Life Music Videos Contest.

Well, the video featured the Gladiators of Rome and the on-going Gladiator Fights. I also took clips of the Cage Match but the cage didn’t fully rezzed which caused it to look really terrible so I didn’t put that in the video.

I hope I got the names right, the Gladiators are:

• Lurgan Ling
• Sky McCallen
• Insane Blackburn
• Murriadoc Alter
• Oki Dufaux

And of course, The Emperor of Rome, Enrich Halasy is also in the Video. If I forgot to include anyone just please send me a quick note and I will add it.

The amazing music and song used in the video is called “Bring It” by Jax Streeter. Visit his website to hear more of his music at JaxStreeter.com.

Finally, I had the patience to wait and finish downloading Perfect World’s huge installer. The installer is broken into four pieces each piece is more than 600mb. That’s around 2gb of disk space. Whew! It took me approximately 8 hours to download all of it. I’ve always wanted to try out Perfect World but the size of the installer always turns me away from it but having upgraded to a faster DSL connection, I gave it another shot.

Installation and patching was quick. I logged in and created my first character after that. Of course, I also created a new account by registering at My Level Up! My character’s name is Kabalyero and he is a Wu Xia. A Wu Xia is a close combat fighter. My character uses a sword and I guess the Wu Xia is like the Knight of this game. There are other races and other classes but I like to fight as a human.

Did you know that Linden Labs is experimenting on a new way to control your Second Life avatar? They are using what is called a 3D Webcam to interact and control an avatar inside the virtual world of Second Life. Below is a YouTube video that demonstrates basic movement without the use of a mouse or a keyboard to control an avatar using this technology. […continue reading Hands Free Second Life]

A few weeks back the great Emperor of Rome issued a challenge. Anyone who dared to fight him and win will be rewarded greatly (100L$ to 1,000L$). I was not there to witness it but today the great emperor himself sent me photos of what had transpired. Included with the photos is a summary of what is now known in The Roman Empire as “An Epic Battle”. […continue reading An Epic Battle]

Today, I visited SL Pay and tried to log in to my account but for some reason it keeps telling me this, “Bad Username, please try again”. I also noticed that Google marked SL Pay’s search listing with, “This site may harm your computer”, and upon checking I saw that SL Pay has a Pay-Ads.com banner on its homepage. For those who don’t know, Pay-Ads.com’s banner is also a gateway which they use to install malware into your computer and it will also redirect your visitors to bad sites (mostly porn sites). Read “Beware of Pay-Ads.com” to learn more about this fraud. […continue reading Is SL Pay A Scam?]
