"Ladies & Gentlemen!"

....and the rest of you strange people in the back....

I am proud to announce that after three years of playing SL, (and several months of research and development) I have finally become....insert jarring chord here....A Content Creator!

My first foray into running an SL biz, "Gesture Wars!", is finally up and running and can be found at my new store in the Whiskey sim for your amusement! :)




Why make gestures?

You see, there are occasions when I will log out of SL and into RL (sometimes even voluntarily). When that happens, external stimuli will come into contact with my real ears, some of which cause my real counterpart to sit up and say, "That would make a great in-world gesture!!" And I am then inspired to "make it so".

This, then, is a compilation of some of such stimuli, turned into gestures, packaged up and ready for you to try out. However, if you would like to save some Lindens, there is a Gesture Wars! fatpack of all the items that are in the vendor, which will save you 50% over buying the gestures individually. This fatpack is available on XstreetSL, and at my store in-world.

Heartfelt thanks go to two very dear friends of mine for their support throughout this process: The Grand Poobah, Hasuko Kuramoto, of Midnight Lotus and to The Big Kahuna, Zak Volare, of ZV's Yard Sale. Both were kind enough to carve out niches in their merchant areas so I could set up shop before I got my store in Whiskey.

Now a few words about the permissions themselves...actually two words: "Transfer Only". I thought for a long time about what perms to give the gestures. Maybe it's because Rich Palmer's clever Bob Marley filk, \"No Copy/No Mod\", is playing in my head like a broken record, that I decided to deem the gestures as such.

Demoing the gestures on the vendor is very simple. In the immortal words of The Fonz, "just sit on it". The vendor will play the gesture that is currently in the queue. When you wish to advance to the next one, simply click the arrows. Otherwise the vendor will continue playing the same gesture over (and over). When you find the gesture you want, right click on the vendor and select, "Pay". That's it!

If you follow this blog, you'll be able to find out when I add new gestures. In the meantime, thank you for visiting Gesture Wars! I hope you have as much fun playing them as I have had making them. :)

Besos!! :)
