AVATAR (S)

Opinion : Virtual Worlds are getting a second life
-
NOT VRML (that was last week) but stuff like:
# World of Warcraft
# Entropia Universe
# Habbo Hotel
# Club Penguin ….and others

-
Snippets : Virtual worlds growth up 39% / estimated $579m / subscriptions / micropayments / 5 to 10 year olds – 76 million registered users / 10 to 15 year olds – 251 million / tails off 15 to 25 year olds only (!) 35 million
-
WOW
-
So…Watch out for Twinity ~ ha! shall I join? BETA ~ it’s free, just raised €4.5m; Bluemarsonline.com, testing..”Blue Mars is a free to play massively multiplayer virtual world featuring stunning graphics, realistic characters, and endless social bonding activities. ” again BETA / Free bit spoiled for choice I am : Will Test and report..
-
To sum up : ” ….a whole generation growing up for whom having an avatar is second nature, virtual worlds have nowhere to go but up. Only they won’t be virtual worlds – just a part of normal life.”

Well Three Months Ago and boy the real world has changed, boy the virtual world has changed, avatar the real virtual reality has arrived. Its called rvr (wiki). here is an Avatar called Ynys with a comment. And A Quiz.



EA Games, Dragon Age. I made a joke about this stupid “game”. I spent 20 mins getting my face right. BEFORE I started the game. The mage was quick. Ynys as you see here is nice, she is a noble woman and a Rogue. Her Dog Shiva obeys her and only her, goes everywhere, fights like a demon, she can pick any lock. You will see tho, Aelfryd,[ÆLFÞRYÐ = Anglo-Saxon name composed of the Old English elements ælf "elf" and þryð "strength," hence "elfin strength."] …my Elfin lady warrior. She is my star. Spent an hour and a half getting her right. She’s not so pretty, not a looker like but not homely either. She’s a bit skinny, red hair. A bit Irish….. She has character. We spent the first two hours getting ready for her wedding. She has a bit of an attitude see. Humans treat Elves like scum. She was nearly raped by the local lord. She kicks ass but the humans were too strong. She doesn’t like humans very much. She was rescued by Alistair and he took her off for training. While getting ready to become a Grey Warden she was wandering around checking things out, a bit lost, with her crap clothes and little dagger. She chatted to lots of people. After about 20 minutes she was at the forest gate. The guard turned her away, said it was too dangerous for a little elf, especially a female. She turned to leave when a human messenger arrived and he spoke to the Guard:

He said to the Guard ” I have to deliver Sir Green’s Iron Broad Sword. Do you know where his tent is?”
Aelfryd could interrupt, she had four choices:

  • 1. No, I am new here. Can you help me?
  • 2. Who is Sir Green? Please tell me about him
  • 3. I don’t know anything about that
  • 4. I know Sir Green, I am just going to his tent now, perhaps I can take it for you?

Aelfryd didn’t hesitate for a moment. What would you do?

Impressed? I Am. Ok We will be returning to face software in a bit. First we have to look at the premier 3D Authoring package called:

Autodesk 3Ds Max 2010

Here is a tutorial:


Here Is A NEW Game Coming Soooonn!!!!!

THE ICE SCREAM WARS


O.
I have An Experiment Running..
Its a Café on Facebook Called The Hard Rock Café, its run on Real World Paradigms…

    The owner has a profile. He is an ex-vet but lost his job when the factory closed. He is ablout 45. He always dreamed of having his own café. Doesn’t know anything about running a café but is convinced if he works hard he will make it. He knows how to make a burger, they cost him 15 he makes 60 on 12 servings. The rest he will learn. Like fruit salads are cheap you can make a 100 of them but you only get 1 coin per serving BUT the customers love them!
    The Important Stuff He Knew was :

  • Bums On Seats, so maximise seating but take into account :
  • Get ‘em in – Get ‘em out, Its a café not a chat room
  • As far as possible try and create a waiter/waitress section, in a real café each waitress has their own area to cover
  • Three Cooker Areas, Long Dishes, Medium Dishes, Fast Food. (As a general guide line)
  • Maximise Customer Satisfaction , well they come in, find a seat immediately, get served immediately and leave. The tables are cleaned immediately! In a busy cafe you do not want to sit at a dirty table. Always keep the cookers spotless, never let food spoil (flys buzz around it ugh)
  • Time Mangement/Cost Effective is vital. Dishes are prepared up to two days in advance (christmass Gingerbread House was 5 days in advance. VIP Dishes were only available for 24 hours, I managed 12 servings on six stoves. The café has to be profitable.
  • Dress Well, Be Noticed, Love The Sunglasses and Tux Staff should look good too
  • Make the place look nice, Grannies Cookoo Clock, Poster of Paris – he plans to go, The Moose he and his mates shot. The skull candle holder from his biker days, Silly dog by the fireplace of course…..

He makes a fortune serving two dishes Burgers and Caviar

…:)

BTW

I registered Real Virtual Reality (dot) Net because I Think its important.

Addendum…..Watched A movie…seems to be silent */* so play this and watch the movie

AND/OR

OK OK OK ChooseYour Own Then!


  • The Hero? Mcqueen
  • The Mentor? The Doc
  • Played by? Paul Newman
  • aka “Doc”
  • aka Steve McQueen?

oooopppss

Q. What is a coffee?

A. Someone who is coughed upon

filed under: Biological Psychology, Dieting, General Psychology, Psychology, Teaching Psychology — Laura Freberg @ 11:19 amAs readers of my blog know, my objectivity regarding coffee is questionable, given my habit of drinking gallons of the stuff (it’s a Swedish thing). Articles about coffee always catch my eye, and a recent report by Miia Kivipelto and colleagues is no different. It’s fun to note that an awful lot of coffee research is done in Scandinavia….
