Vizon? Narray? Ayivanca? Directive?

I am so, so pleased to have stumbled upon this! :)



Earlier this month, I watched "WALL-E" on DVD for the very first time, and it just charmed the pants off me. :) Since then, I had casually searched the grid for an EVE (Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator) avatar....and I found it! What's funny was, I found it when I wasn't looking for it, which was a bit of a "DUH!" moment for me, considering I located the avatar in the Greenies sim!

I'm not sure what I love most about this product, the fact that it's FREE! (Coadey Concord, creator of the EVE avie, you are an amazing human being. THANK YOU!!!)

Or the fact that it is HUD-based:



and has all these neat buttons you can push, (yes, I like to push buttons =P) which enable you to do all sorts of cool EVE-ish effects and animations, consistent with the movie:



Or the fact that the avie is full-perms!! Which means you could either do simple things with it, like resize and re-color, OR, if you're technically-minded, make "new animations, HUD additions, and attachments" to use with it, as suggested in Concord's included notecard.

If, like me, you live under a rock and don't watch movies all that much, I highly recommend you go buy, download, rent, steal (well, no, don't steal; that would be wrong).....whatever your preferred (legal) method is of obtaining movies, do invest in this Pixar gem :)

Then go onto Xstreet or TP over to the Greenies sim (Personally, any excuse to go to the Greenies sim is a good one) for your free copy of the EVE avatar.

Seriously, dooo eet naougghh!

Lots of Gnus! :)

Nooooo....Not *guns*! "Oh wow..........James........"*drools as her eyes glaze over*

Right! Focus, Viola! Focus!

Ahem....as I was saying, not guns, but gnus:



As in "NEW"-ness!



They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but I won't bore you with that much verbiage ;) What you see here is a snapshot of the most recent mall stall I rented at for Gesture Wars! In said snapshot, you also see 2 moar vendors set up that now hold new material I've just made! So now there are three vendors brimming with gestures. We'll call them "Tom", "Dick" and "Harry", so as to avoid confusion. ;)

You see, first there was "Tom". (Which is the first vendor/pose stand thingy on the left in the photo) Then I became inspired and made several new gestures. I put the new ones in the 2nd vendor ("Dick") until it ran out of memory. So I had to rez another copy of the vendor ("Harry") and stuck the balance of the new gestures in it. So when you come & demo them, you may realize that "Harry" doesn't have as many gestures as Tom or Dick lol.

*ALSO*, there is a second fatpack that has all the new material in it, discounted at 50% off the individual gestures that currently reside in "Dick and Harry". The first fatpack is still there as well, which contains all of the gestures in "Tom", also at 50% off of the individual prices.

In addition to demoing the gestures, there is also a freebie on the floor for you. :)

Lastly, while you're there, I highly recommend checking out *all* of the Role Play Market. Gesture Wars! is in the "Miscellaneous and Accessories" department. But oh my goodness, no matter what kind of RP you're into: Steampunk, pyrate, gothic, etc, they've got it. (Personally, I could spend hours in their "High Fantasy" section, shopping for wings and other fae items :-D ) I believe they also have an Adult sim that features Gor RP, but I'm not sure on the particulars there or when that one will open.

FYI, Gesture Wars! can also be found at ZV Yard Sale, Midnight Lotus, and at my main location in Whiskey

Thank you for reading and shopping at Gesture Wars! I hope you have as much fun playing the gestures as I had making them! :) xoxo

"....Always going forward, 'cos we can't find reverse!"

It came as no big surprise to me when one of my friends and former Tiny Empires subjects, Neferon Nevadan, tossed me a copy of Ultralite Soleil's newest version of MMPG crack, "Tiny Empires 3000" this past weekend. After all, Ultralite took the grid by storm last year with the original TE game and its add-on, "TE: Federation". Both of which were wildly successful, and were like some virtual HUD-based renfaire, with all the customary fun and drama of the real deal, minus the expensive ticket prices and overcooked turkey legs. So it doesn't shock me all that much to learn that Ultralite came out with a new generation of an MMPG.

Now, unless you've been living in a cave, you yourself played TE at some point. Or, you at least heard of TE, if empire-building games are not your kink. The last time I played TE: Federation, I had made it all the way up to the rank of Princess...and stopped. My decision to not advance to Queendom status was based on the fact that I am already a spoiled brat of a princess in both SL and RL, and there isn't a hat big enough in either Life to fit my already swelled head.

Cue the "futuristic sequel" to TE: Tiny Empires 3000! I'll call it "TE3K" for short, or, maybe I should call it Mystery Science TE3K, for it is indeed a space opera/science fiction themed game. However I refer to it, it's here, in all its addictive plug and play glory, ready for me to expand my own trading dominion, "by purchasing ships, joining a guild, gaining subordinates, cultivating colonists," and potentially starting a guild of my own! Muahaha!

So what does all this mean for me? It means the genius MMPG-making crack dealer known as Ultralite Soleil has turned the former corset-wearing, castle-dwelling Perilous Princess Penelope....



into none other than the arse-kicking, semi-automatic weapon totin', HMS Hawkwing-commanding heroine Honor Harrington!



With her trusty treecat, Nimitz, by her side, of course.

So off I go, into the great unknown, to cultivate my trade empire, build up income and defend my starships against evil space pirates...



Bring it, Bishes!
