2013/01/30 by Nalates Urriah

A new post popped up on the Linden Blog today: Reaching into Second Life with Leap Motion. [youtube -8WkyBBwYTI] I’m not sure this is something I would be interested in. But, it does show the Lab is experimenting with things, which leaves me wondering if it is just pure research or part of some project. … Read more

Just Interesting – EVE Online

2013/01/292013/01/29 by Nalates Urriah

I saw today that EVE Online made gaming news. I have friends that play EVE. I like EVE but, it doesn’t suit my time limits. I am, however, impressed by a recent battle in EVE. The video of part of it is below. It runs 18+ minutes. You can watch it in full screen.

You may not know much about EVE. It is obviously a space game evolving space ships and fleets of ships. Now Gamer describes it as:

In short, it’s a cruel world where deception, piracy and scams run rife, and if you don’t have a smart head on your shoulders, you will likely get eaten alive. The learning curve for new players is mountainous, but those who survive the first few months encounter a unique world rarely seen in gaming.

I got a note that a new grid is around. If you’ve been To Olantica grid tell me what you think of it in comments. This is an OpenSim world. Other than that I don’t know much about it. However there is a web site with a bit more information. See: Olantica – Lost Wolrd. … Read more

Is 3D Safe for Kids

2016/05/112012/12/28 by Nalates Urriah

I was answering a question in the SL Forum about 3D and Second Life. The involved people seemed short on info about how 3D works for single screens. So, I was looking for a good explanation of the state of the tech. I came across an article at Tech Crunch. Title: A Guide to 3D Display … Read more

Another Part of the Steam Puzzle

2012/12/12 by Nalates Urriah

We have all heard that SL is coming to Steam. We have some sort of lame reasons for why that is good for Steam and Linden Lab. But, a new thing is coming from Steam. See Erik Kain’s: Why Valve’s ‘Steam Box’ PC-Console Will Be A Game Changer. It seems Steam is introducing its own … Read more
