I’ve seen Wrestling Rings, Boxing Rings, Ancient Coliseums, Combat Arenas, Basketball Courts, and other sporting locations but this time I took a quick look at IBM’s Winbledon Tennis Court in Second Life.
What can I say? IBM did an amazing job at it. The tennis court looks amazingly real and it even has two dummy players playing on it. In fact, you can even be one of the dummies but right-clicking on one of them and then selecting Sit. Your avatar will then replace the dummy. Unfortunately, you can’t actually control what’s happening. You’ll just be a replacement for the dummy. LOL! (more…)

This week, I had the chance to visit mikeD Streeter’s latest Role Play region/sim in Second Life, the land called Samurai Japan. Obviously, Samurai Japan is a region greatly inspired by ancient Japan, although, I’m not particularly sure what time period was it actually based on but I can safely say that it’s based on a very old Japan. You know, that period in time when Samurais and Ninjas exist, where people live and die by the sword and where code and honor is above everything else.
I learned about Samurai Japan from a group announcement sent through The Roman Empire group (SL Roman Empire) which is also a owned by mikeD Streeter. The group notice contained a landmark that took me to Samurai Japan. (more…)
