I picked up The Hunger Games trilogy a while ago and was instantly hooked. I have a special place in my heart for anything post-apocalyptic and the story about Katniss Everdeen sucked me in and made me power-read the whole thing.

I immediately thought that the story would make a great video-game as well as on-screen adaptation. I had hoped for a TV-series, but as it turns out the books will become a movie, release to be expected March of 2012. I’m guessing if we ever get to see a game based of these books, it’ll be around the same time.

However, I’m not known for my patience, so I spent a full day hunting down gear in SL that would transfrom Kissowa into Katniss.

I modeled my Katniss after a mix between the bookcover and what I saw in my mind when I read Suzanne Collins description of Katniss and the outfit she wore for the Hunger Games. It took a while to find the right things and I ended up having to make my own mockingjay pin, since I couldn’t find one even remotely similar anywhere on the grid. Just you wait though, soon enough I’m sure we’ll see whole Katniss (and Peeta) avatars.

Just as if she knew what I was up to, Codie announce on plurk that same day that she was working on a new project. She posted some images and I immediately thought of it as cornucopia from the book. Or at least that’s very close to how I imagined it. The project is called Rust and is a Fallout inspired RP’ish location for us post-apocalyptic fans. It’s not yet released to the public, but I’ll let you know as soon as it’s done. It’ll probably be my new hang-out. (Oh, who am I kidding, I’ll live there.)

Hmm Taupe… I don’t know, is it? I think I’ve become slightly colorblind after staring at all the different shades of brown.

I tried the Mesh Project Viewer this week, to play with shadows and depth of field. I quickly realized I need to update my rig. Or LL has a serious leak somewhere. Whichever it is, it damn near killed my patience. So after crashing fivehundred and fiftyeleventy times, I came up with these two pics. Which aren’t too bad, but not as crisp as I’d like them. Ah well, it was an interesting little field trip. Back to Phoenix I go.

I have a new Love in my life. She’s called Curvaceous and is brought to us by Gos. I ran so fast to pick these up I damn near burned the soles of my feet. But it was well worth it for the shoegasm that followed. These are so versatile with the multiple options and colors, you’ll be wearing them a long time ahead. Enough with the ranting, just look at the pictures. Click to get bigger.

The Pixel Bean is a gorgeous sim aimed at socializing. It holds the Pixel Bean Coffeehouse, a dancefloor, a camping site and even a merry-go-round. It’s full of fun little spots for hanging out, cuddling and dancing. The sim is also very nice for exploring and taking photos, lots of props to play with here.

From what I can tell the Pixel Bean regularly holds events.
Parties, masquerades, poetry nights and trivia. I haven’t actually attended any of these things yet, but I suspect I’ll be dropping in often from now on.
Maybe I’ll see you there.

Now here’s a real treat; Duck Racing! Gospel Voom is just full of awesome, because on his sim Gos you can not only find his mainstore but also Quackastone. It is insanely fun and very addicting this thing, let me warn you.

The concept is pretty straight forward. You ride a duck through a course with evil gates and obstacles. The best times get a place on the board.

When I went there just now I ran in to Gos himself and here’s the scoop.
He has a duck-whistle! You’d think a duck-whistle would make ducks go faster or something? Nope, his duck-whistle makes the opponents ducks whack out. Which explains my crappy time against him.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
