Second Life 0522

Today we did a lot in Second Life. To make our group video, every one must find some material to decorate the scene. And I was responsible to find a suitable house. 
To discuss our script, we gathered on the beach. First we used nearby chatting, but found that it was not so efficient. Therefore, we used microphone and earphone as substitute. 

















Since our script was mainly adapted from Stephen Chow's Hail The Judge, I must found a classic building as a court. After searching, I found a traditional Chinese building on the marketplace. This wooden house was small but exquisite. And to my surprise, it was totally free ! ^_^ It was a pity that the walls outside made people difficult to enter the house. I tried to remove it but in vain.
Next Thursday we have to do our first rehearsal. Hope that everything goes well ! :-)

Second Life 0501

Today we had a big breakthrough in Second Life. We finally learned how to build ! In Second Life, you could build whatever you like if you have your own land. But you will fail to build on other’s. I think it was easily to put some objects, such as cube, column, or sphere on the ground. The hardest part was to adjust its texture and position.

After practicing, I made a light blue bench. I especially like its color and texture. I could even sit on it! :-D

The trees and pyramid behind me were built by other schoolmates. The land was marked by red and blue. Only the blue area belongs to us !

When I finished building, Allen invited me to his boat. This boat only cost him 10 virtual currency ! To me, sailing on the sea in Second Life was really a special experience !

In the end of our trip, a small accident happened. We went to our neighborhood, and came across some beautiful horses. Out of curiosity, I rode it. Suddenly, a woman appeared. She said this area was private, and just kicked me out ! But I still took a picture before leaving. :-p

Second Life 0410

Today we had lots of fun in Second Life !

In the beginning, we came to Beach Land, chatting with each other. There was an outdoor bar on the beach. Karen, Evelyn, Allen and I then took pictures in front of the delicious dishes. All of us looked starving !

We wandered on the beach, sitting on wooden bench. The tiger on the left side was me; and the man was Allen.

Later, we went to a bridge nearby, trying to take a picture. However, every one failed to look at the camera. Haha!

All of us sat on a blanket, watching the starry night. Like real world, there were also day an night in Second Life.

In the end we have been to a maze and a coffee shop. The maze behind me was made by our seniors. I think they were all talented. Looked at it closely, you could even find the name of our university, NCU.

The funniest part today, was that I have learned how to change my bode shape and make different gestures. See ? I was dancing ! From the picture below, you would find that I became thinner and taller. I could even make my muscle bigger ! What an interesting function !

Second Life 0313

Today we started our first visit to Second Life. After creating an account, I logged in, beginning my adventure.

In Second life You could easily go wherever you like. If you wanted to move quickly, just pressing “Page Up” on computer keyboard, so that you could jump and fly in the sky. While flying high, I saw many different buildings, such as square, dance hall, and cabins by the sea. After enjoying the beautiful scenery, I decided to go shopping, making myself prettier.

I came to a freebie called “Amacci”. This shopping mall sold lots of free goods, like exquisite clothes, necklace, and cosmetics. You could even buy colored contact lens and hair styles here. At last, I chose a long green dress, which had golden lace on it, and changed the color of my hair to light brown. It was all free. So I highly recommended this freebie. 

In the end, I took a picture by the sea. It was fun to play in Second Life. I really expected our next trip！
