I’m really having a lot of fun playing Cabal Online. For some reason, I’m drawn to the game. I know it’s not the community because, well, it’s your typical Pinoy online gaming community filled with all sorts of immaturity and elitism and I’m sure it’s not the publisher because I’m not a big fan of e-Games. I guess, it’s the game itself. I’m still not sure why but I really like it.
Anyway, I did another video and this one features my low level Force Blader and he is also named Kabalyero. LOL! (more…)
The publisher of Cabal Online in the Philippines, e-Games, recently launched a Video Making Contest for Cabal Online (read the details here) and since I love to take screenshots and videos of my characters in-game I decided to make one for the contest.
The video I created is all about my in-game character, Kabalyero. It’s almost 3 minutes long and uses a background music from the game itself. (more…)
Today, I spent a few minutes at The Roman Empire region in Second Life to take a few video clips of the on-going Gladiator Fights. I used the video clips I took of the fight to create a simple music video which I then submitted to Koinup as an entry to their 1st. Second Life Music Videos Contest.
Well, the video featured the Gladiators of Rome and the on-going Gladiator Fights. I also took clips of the Cage Match but the cage didn’t fully rezzed which caused it to look really terrible so I didn’t put that in the video. (more…)
Yesterday, I converted 3 of my videos to .MOV and uploaded them to blip.tv. Blip.tv is very much like YouTube except that blip.tv provides a direct link to the uploaded video in its actual format which in my case .MOV. This allowed me to stream the video from blip.tv into my place in Second Life, 3 Stars and a Sun, by copying the URL of the link and pasting it on my rented land’s media field.
To better control the streams I used FreeView where you can place the URLs in a notecard. I also placed a huge 20×20x0.5 box and used it as a huge viewer.
Video must be enabled on your Second Life client to play video streams. If not then you must enable it in your Preferences under Audio and Video. Once enabled just click the play button on the movie tab which is at the bottom of your screen, just above the toolbar.
If you wish to use the streams in your own land then just go to my blip.tv channel, select a video, click on This episode’s permalink, then copy the url of the link named Download Quicktime (.mov) and paste it on your land’s media field.
SLASH! is currently holding a 50,000L$ Model Contest. I learned about it from mikaela Yifu who contacted me about it. I then went to SLASH! main store at SLASH to learn more about the contest. The place was a little bit laggy but after waiting a while the immediate area finally rezzed and information about the contest was everywhere. A big board showing the Top 20 entries is near the landing point.
I also noticed a female avatar named Nuhai Ling was at the landing point and she has this hover text above her head saying that she is in the contest. She noticed that I was taking photos of the board and IMed me about it. I told her it’s for my blog and then she guided me to the big contest wall where all the contestants photos’ are displayed.
I’ve also made a brief video report on it too.
50,000L$ is a lot of money that is why I’ve decided to enter Kabalyero Kidd into the contest. His photo is number is 728 and it’s located at the top far right of the wall so please vote for him and also please vote for mikaela Yifu who is a friend of a friend. Her photo number is 113 and she is currently in the Top 20.
The contest is still accepting entries so if you want a chance to win that 50,000L$ then take a nice photo of yourself and join the contest today. Just drop by at SLASH! main store to learn how to join and don’t forget to join the group to get updates and free goodies too.
