EOTB: New Last Names

 
On the official blog a few days ago, Linden Lab announced a list of new last names available for residents to change to.

Happy Autumn! Thank you for all the suggestions sent in for future last names through our Last Name Suggestion Form

Today we are doing another big last name refresh by removing some of the older last name options and adding the following new ones from your suggestions:

The new last names are Mouse, Victis, Wheel, Pudding, Demure, Nightwish, Fledermaus, Whisper, Pooh, and Velvet.

Of Demure, it may or may not be because of a popular meme going around on social media, "very mindful, very demure." Of "Mouse," that may get the attention of some who prefer small, or furry avatars.  "Fledermaus" might get the attention of bat fans.

Cartoon of the Day: Why Did She Faint?

 
 
 Taken at the Happy Vixen. I can think of a few reasons the girl fainted, but with the dinkie avatar nearby, one possibility came to mind.

Commentary: Game Company GREED

 
If you're a gamer, you've probably seen a promising game in development, a "beta" version, gotten it because of what's promised in the future, and in the weeks and months ahead while there's some development it doesn't come close to the hype when you forked over your money. Nydia Tungsten has seen this happen time after time, as well as other occasions of "bait and switch" in the gaming industry, and decided it was time to write something about it. So what did she have to say?
