The latest Drax Files video from Draxtor Despress, from June 5, "What drives a molecular biologist and house-husband to abandon academia and instead run a thrift store in a virtual world and invent a successful air combat game franchise in there? Meet [flying?] Dutchman Arduenn Schwartzmann, self-taught 3D content creator and self-described jack-of-all-trades, equally admired by his 4 kids, their peers and SL residents the world over.

"With over 400 'useless' [his term!] items for sale in the Metaverse and countless collaborative projects - with game designers MadPea Productions among many others - his body of work speaks for itself. This overdue episode of Drax Files gives us a rare glimpse behind the scenes of this creative genius, examines his workflow and premieres a very special limited edition Draxtor WarBug.

"The video does not however answer the most pressing question of all: are over 50% of Second Life residents Dutch and if so: what does it mean?

"Thanks to Phil Thoma for shooting WarBug 360 footage in SL - what a great job!"

The Warbug Air Show at Madpea

Last weekend, Second Life Newser's Bixyl Shuftan attended an air show at Madpea. The group doing the show were the Warbugs, the flyers of a brand of funny little aircraft. The show offered a look at the pilots, whom could be a wacky bunch. It was an event with laughs, thrills, and a few spills.
