.. ten days away ..

 

arcade june 2016

Can you believe that in only 10 days, at the strike of midnight in SLT as the calendar page turns to June 1, another round of The Arcade will open?  Time really does move too quickly sometimes. However, it’s always an awesome month when the new quarter arrives and we can shop like crazy at The Arcade!  Snippets and teasers have already been seen on Flickr and designer blogs and more and more will be shared as we move closer to the opening.

In the meantime, The Arcade has made some exciting changes.  This round brings the addition of player awards.  The gacha machines have been updated and for those designers participating, if you play their machine a lot.. on the 50th pull, you will receive a special prize!  You’ll know if the creator is participating as there will be a picture of the prize by the machine.  These prizes will only be available during the current round and once the round closes, those prizes will be buried deep in the designer’s basement.  The prizes will be no transfer so these are for YOU only as a reward for being a dedicated gacha player!

The Arcade has also introduced a “Friends of The Arcade” option that allows you to put your name in lights as an avid supporter of The Arcade.  The Arcade team has commissioned an awesome one of a kind fountain from Cory Edo of Trompe  L’oeil and the names of those that donate will be displayed.  You can make your donation and learn more via the marketplace listing.

.. can’t find paradise ..

I’ve been upside down
I don’t wanna be the right way round
Can’t find paradise on the ground

All we do is hide away
All we do is, all we do is hide away
All we do is chase the day
All we do is, all we do is chase the day

All we do is play it safe
All we do is live inside a cage
All we do is play it safe
All we do, all we do

I was so happy to see the return of “Small Town Green” to the grid. Just as in the past, change happens often and it is so much fun to explore to see what is new and changed.

.. a singer in me ..

Who hasn’t always wanted to be on stage, singing to a huge audience, hearing the applause, feeling the adoration?!  Okay, well honestly I can’t say that I’d really want to do that and I know that it would never happen because I’d probably faint before I stepped on the stage. The great part of Second Life though means you can role play just about anything and so here I am on stage… singing!

Tiny Trinkets brings a great set of singing poses to the 2016 Pose Fair.  Included is a retro mic which is adds to the ambiance. I can pretend to be a jazz or classical singer and the mic makes it believable, right?  The set comes with 6 poses with the mirrors.  Both the animations and pose balls are included so that you can add to a hud or just rez a pose ball.  The mics that are included have a resize script and everything works for both adult and small sized avis.
