 From Maus Merryjest on June 30, "The ending of my SL20B set. It was a wild time! Five days before my set, I decided I wanted to add an extra song to celebrate SL20, and do an affectionate parody of common topics. I created can-can clicky-heels for people to wear and dance with, and roped some poor unsuspecting innocents into my plot. I wrote the lyrics, and that's when I knew I had gone past the point of no return. Special thanks to my dancers Nix Starchild, Inferna and Greasy Cokes for making this a special moment- and to @secondlife for having me there in the first place. Here's to 20 more years of your awesome, guys!"

 

Reader Submitted: My Psychotic Little Friend

Kain Scalia, also known as Maus Merryjest, recently send the SL Newser a reader submission about a tale from his early days in Second Life ten years ago. It was one of those stories in which at the time he was terrified, but now he can look back at it and laugh. In his first experiment with scripting, he tried to make a virtual pet that would follow him, and anyone else, around. What could possibly go wrong, he felt. As it turned out, the answer was "plenty."
