CSI: NY Comes to Second Life!
I can’t even imagine the overwhelming flood of Ruths that will show up after this show airs tonight. But man, I gotta tell ya… I’m super excited about this for some reason!
CSI: NY will be featuring Second Life in tonight’s episode. During the episode, Mac (Gary Sinise) goes into SL to catch a murderer. Following the show, SL residents will be able to participate in “Murder by Zuiker”, a crime-solving game associated with the show in SL, complete with virtual prizes for winners.
Want more? Read the full story on TechCrunch and/or watch a preview video on YouTube.
In addition to all of this craziness (oh my god, why am I so excited?), CBS will also be debuting a new viewer for SL created by the Electric Sheep Company called the OnRez Viewer.
Culled from Electric Sheep:
“OnRez is the first viewer to be commercially licensed by Linden Labs. The user interface resembles familiar web browsers and is focused on bringing the web and virtual worlds closer together. It also combines Second Life features, such as teleporting, with sophisticated OnRez services for virtual shopping and searching. IN addition to an easy-to-use user interface, the OnRez viewer also features the ability for users to more effectively browse the Web within the Second Life environment.”
CSI: NY fans will be able to register for the “CSI: NY Virtual Experience” on CBS.com. Users will receive a customized version of the viewer in addition to a customized toolbar to follow a mystery killer on the show through a series of interactive experiences in Second Life! Also, check out the SLURL to the CBS virtual crime scene. Dude, I’m SO WISHING I was home right now!!!
Dude. Again… may I reiterate… that I am SO freaking excited? And I know I’m probably WAYYYY hyping it up in my head, but … anyone up for a little murder mystery tonight? Mwahahahaha!
(By the way, this whole post has been culled from bits and pieces of TechCrunch, ElectricSheep, and CBS news! — damn do I read too much).
Breast Cancer Awareness Ball
Second Life’s ASpiRE! Magazine will be hosting a Breast Cancer Awareness Ball on Sunday, October 28th, from 2:00 PM SLT to 4:00 PM SLT.
As someone who’s life has been affected by the tragedy that is cancer (I do not have it personally, but have lost a close family member from it), I am actually really looking forward to this. It always makes me so happy when Second Life residents make an attempt at raising awareness to real life issues. I mean, of course there’s Relay for Life headed up by the American Cancer Society, and I fully support that, and everyone knows what RFL is. But how often do you see individual residents/resident-run-organizations make an attempt at raising awareness?
Love their hearts, I do.
A little more on the event as posted on the ASpiRE! website:
“Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, ASpiRE! would like to invite you the ASpiRE! Pink Charity Ball! This important event will take place Sunday, October 28th from 2pm SL to 4pm SL on ASpiRE! Isle. We will have music (donated by DJ Nexeus), dancing, and contests. Please come dressed in formal pink attire. There will be a Pretty in Pink competition!! Throughout the event, you will have an opportunity to donate Lindens. All proceeds will go directly to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.”
I will most definitely be there, in between the two Halloween parties I have to go to that day. What better way to take a break from all the partying then to go to ANOTHER party that, even in some small way, makes a difference? I fully encourage everyone to join me, and I look forward to seeing you all there!
