Due to real life, I will be offline for a uncertain amount of time. Thanks to everyone that has followed this blog and my movies.
Deshima Movie
Well new movie is up. After hearing the song by Gregory Bakay, I just couldn't help myself to make this movie.
Hope you like it!
The Days of 1.9
Feel oh so long ago but surprisingly, it aint. In the days of 2006 I joined the world of Second Life in search of new adventures and far-off lands to explore. I set foot on the lands of 1.9, the version of Second Life back then. Now I was so excited to explore this new world that after I finished the orientation island and my tp to a infohub, I went of flying. Off to explore this new strange world with all kinds of things, learning as I go and observing this new life.
Now in those early days, we had no power and no fresh water... (cough) kk wasn't that bad and I joined in 2006, where Second Life started way back in 03. But still, back in 1.9 the sky's looked blue during the day with weird puffy clouds, but still with nice starry nights. No glowy effects or detailed apples(basic sculpty) and yup, no voice. We all typed typed typed, which is funny to see people's reactions these days when you tell them there was no voice and they go.... "How did you talk to each other then..." ^^. But ahhh, those were the days....
These days we have all the fancy gadgets with all the fancy effects and SL has grown big, and I cant complain about that. Its interisting to see the world around you change so fast and grow so nicely, but sometimes you just sit on that mountain, watch into the pixalated sunset and think of those old days without all this.

I know there is alot of people that battle to run Second Life with all these special effects and are forced to upgrade their computers. Now for all of you that wont mind loosing some of those effects to have a better experience, there might just be a solution.
I went off and looked for a nice 'ol viewer that might help people in that problem and what I've found is Cool Viewer. I have tested it and you do indeed gain some performance as neither windlight nor glow effects are in this viewer. It kicks the laggy features but keep up to date to the needed ones like Voice, Sculpties, Mono scripts.
Me testing the Cool Viewer. Looks similar to the old one.
Just follow this link >>http://sldev.free.fr/<<
Read through that and what your looking for is the Legacy Renderer where it says as well that its recommended for older PC's.
I hope this helps people and if you need any help dont be afraid to leave a comment here and ask for help or if you can, IM me inworld. My name in SL is Braclo Eber.

Deshima Opens!
Well Deshima is open! Logged on today and did my daily "test to see if Deshima is open TP" to find that I actually teleported to Deshima!
So I TP'd back to my base and did an official dial to the space gate of Deshima. On arrival I rezzed my Puddle Jumper and off I went, looking for a docking bay. After flying a bit around I docked(with a few bumps here and there) and off I went exploring the space station.
Well I have to say I am not disappointed one bit! I have been looking forward to it for a while now, and it sure is nice to walk about inside the station and see all the stuff!! The station isn't done yet, but it already looks amazing, and with more people that I'm sure will make their way there soon, it sure will be a interesting station to be at!
This is a must visit for Stargate fans, Sci-Fi fans and anybody that likes to explore. To get there follow this SLurl http://slurl.com/secondlife/Deshima/9/246/2922 or just dial Deshima Space Gate from any stargate.
Hope to see you there,

Busy and New Inspiration
Well just wanted to post something to let everyone know im still alive and well :D. Thing is I been busy lately, with new year in college, a lot of my free time is spend just playing games or doing small things I enjoy, not really focusing on programming in SL or movies.
BUT that does not mean im gonna stop. SL scripting inspiration will come to me again, im not worried about that. Movie inspiration is there, and recently been thinking of actually taking it to the next level.
Last 3 years i focused a lot on making movies that usually just show of games or something that fit with the words. Nothing really story based except Journey to Love and Blind Answers, with the first having a more story to it than the second vid. What im thinking is to push that up and start making movies a bit more story based.
This does NOT mean the end of my tribute-based vids. Ill still make them, but ill focus more on stories aswell now and see how that goes.
Well thats all for now, Take care all!

Second Life Lag and Border Crossing
Well lag and border crossing has been a problem for everyone for a long time, but recently, it feels like its just getting worse and worse.
I posted a kind of poll at Second Life answers to hear other people's stories and what they think of all of it. If your in Second Life and have something you would like to say, feel free to respond to it here: https://blogs.secondlife.com/thread/2012

September and Yes im still here.
Well been quiet on my blog lately, like I posted before that movies will be quiet till September. Well September is here, things are looking better and new hope is shining.
Now what about the vids? Well in a week im back in college, second year of games development. With that comes a routine, which gives me the ability to know when I can spend quality time on video's.
I have a few ideas for videos, ranging from tributes to a video based on a song(like most of my vids). The tributes will most likely be done before this month is over. The song based video on the other hand I dont have any idea. It will be the biggest movie I have ever done, so best I can say is watch this space as ill update it as I get a better idea how things will go.
So till my next post, take care and safe travels.

The New Deshima Station
Well the Ancients of Second Life is busy again. How it goes is there used to be this station called Deshima Station, but due to what looks like land problems, the station was lost.... only now to come back as the what I consider is going be the best space station in the whole of Second Life!
Above you can see a model of the station. It sure looks huge and several stuff that looks really interisting for example the puddle jumper docks and the train station and even a Prison Ship!
You can also see a preview movie of the station made by none other than Wolfie Waves, a Gate Builder and also known for his shop OS Labs.
If you would like to check out the model and see more of this, visit
Munkie Island or follow this SLurl:
Quiet Till September
Well things will be quiet with the movies for a while, till September anyhows. Don't really wanna get into the details but yea there wont be any movies by me till September.
After that I hope to get a new movie into production. Its going to be pretty big and gonna take a while to do. It will be filmed in Second Life and also based on a song, almost something like Blind Answers, it will just be alot bigger and hopefully even more impressive. Also got some people that want me to make video's for them, so will be getting all that started.
For now, its just wait and see what happens(Im really bad at being patient).
Another Video!
Well this is one of those movies where I just heard the song and I start to make a vid.
This one dedicated to a site I visit dialy and all its people, Newgrounds! Enjoy!
