Hunts

There are often hunts going on in Second Life, they are different sized, differently themed and so on. The common thing is of course items that you can gather while exploring and trying to find small hidden trinkets.

Currently there is The Bunny Hop going on. A bit over 300 eggs are waiting to be discovered, each containing present and landmark to the next location. Some searching is required, but quite many of them are easy to find. The biggest problem I had was that some sims are so packed full of people that I just didn’t fit in anymore After trying couple of times, I always got in though, so no big worries there.

Another hunt, a bit smaller, but infinitely more interesting for me is Spring is The Air. On this hunt, I will not only be hunting, but also giving out. Yes, I’m actually participating this, and I’m super excited about it. Just couple more days until the hunt starts, so stay tuned and get ready to hunt. The planetarium I’m handing out is custom job and can only be gotten from the hunt. As soon as the hunt is over, there will be no further possibility to get it.

Fishing Area Open

Great news to all of those who enjoy 7Seas fishing. Iron Bird and .:SHD:. have opened a fishing area with some custom fish. The area is located at sim called Missing Beckett.

Fishing Area at Missing Beckett

Verdigris

I stumbled upon a really great looking sim today called Verdigris. Whole place is themed and build very well and the place is worth exploring a bit. I landed at a street high above the ground level, but quickly found my way down to the village (well, gravity gave me some help of course).  The thing that really caught my eye though was the clock tower with star map. Unfortunately it looked that the device had stopped and was not showing correct time anymore. There are some images after the cut, but I recommend to pay a visit there to see more.

Amusement Park

A post at Second Life forums caught my eye. It was about an indoor rollercoaster that I of course decided to check out at Venusian sim. The indoor rollercoaster was right next to me and after riding it twice, I started exploring rest of the sim.

The Pot Healer Adventure

“Arriving in Numbakulla, an explorer finds that fate and a shipwreck has cast them ashore in a land of mystery.”

The Pot Healer Adventure is interactive adventure game, where you get to explore a sim full of secrets and hidden places. Over course of time, I have visited there several times, poking around and just admiring the location. Today I went there and found some more clues and hidden spots that I hadn’t spotted before. I haven’t solved the game yet, but I’m definitely enjoying my visits there.

I’m quite amazed that such a place was created in the first place and then left open for people to explore. Amount of work that must have gone into designing and building the whole sim must be high. There are no charges or fees to pay, but the whole place is accessible for everyone. There are tip jars around, but they blend into surroundings well and don’t distract from the adventure.

I took some photos while exploring and posted some of them at the end of the posting. Nothing too revealing, all these locations are easily accessible from the start and the photos should not spoil the adventure for you.

List of Science Related Sims in SL

Some time ago I wanted to know what kinds of science related locations there are in Second Life. After a bit googling I discovered site called Science-Related Places in Second Life. There are quite many places listed and newest ones are only few days old. So hopefully the list will continue grow I would recommend checking the list for everybody who are interested in science or who just want to see some neat stuff (granted, neat is always subjective).

Star Trek Museum Complex

I was exploring grid today and stumbled upon a Star Trek complex. 4 private sims full of Star Trek. There was lot of things to see and try out. Actually, there was so many things that I probably missed most of them Be sure to click little Spock statue near the starting location. You will receive a notecard with descriptions and landmarks of several locations in the area.

There are locations to learn about science, culture and history of Star Trek. Big Starship is waiting to be explored and one can even take a shuttle to fly between different locations. Some random photos after the break.
