SL Video: "Rezzable's 'Black Swan' 2009"

(Click here if the video fails to play)

By Nitwacket in Dec 2009, "a) a theory of 'high-impact, hard-to-predict, and rare events that are beyond the realm of normal expectations' rezzable.com/blog/rightasrain-rimbaud/why-do-we-call-it-black-swan .  b) A sim - where the creative best of Second Life was showcased. Created by Light Waves, and here featuring "Noobility" by Seifert Surface and Art Laxness, 'Black Swan' was moved to Rezzable's private Open Sim in September of 2009."

Grey Nacht's Greenie Tribute

One of the best known sims from Second Life's earlier days was "Greenies." This was a sim that put residents in a mouse-sized perspective of a giant family room and kitchen that took up the entire sim, which was being explored by tiny mischievous green aliens known as the "Greenies." Rezzable, the creators of the sim, would eventually make a number of spinnoff sims, but would later close them down. Sadly, Rezzable made the decision to close the sim in June 2010. But longtime residents have fond memories of the little green aliens, and there have been tributes over the years. Gemma Cleanslate was on hand to see one such tribute by her friend Grey Nacht.

Greenies Tribute at LEA

What a thrill! For those who knew and loved the Greenies in Second Life, you will get a kick out of this installation in LEA for sure! For those who do not, a short history. The Rezzable 3D set it up for a band of aliens to invade the Second life sims and move into a home here . The home was huge in size and the tiny  Greenies lived behind hidden doors and walls and in the furniture.  Exploring the house and their doings was so much fun. There was even 7seas fishing in the kitchen sink. 

 

After a few years the home was closed in 2010 and the Greenies disappeared back into space, leaving many sad people around the sims. Many of us have Greenie avatars that we pull out once in a while for an event. 

 

Now, there is a re-creation , a tribute, to the Greenies home in LEA 23. It is massive in size and you can rezz a bike there to roam the areas. One inhabitant I did not see was the cat. I will have to look again.  Don’t miss any  nooks and cranies where the greenies hide. When no human is in the house, of course, they roam at will, setting up games, watching tv, using the computer and more. I looked in the kitchen sink and had nostalgia for a fishing tournament. 

 

There is a machinima in the box outside the house that shows you the greenies and if  you want to see more  take a look here in a machinima by papillonxxxx from 2010.  http://youtu.be/8NZ3144QX_4  .

Greenies Home Closes, Moves to OpenSim

On Wednesday June 23rd, Second Life bade goodbye to one of it's classic sims, Greenies Home. The last of the sims owned by Rezzable to stay in the Metaverse as others closed down and moved to Opensim, last week the decision was made, "it is time for the Greenies to come home." And so, visitors dropped in for final events, and to give the little green fellows one last look before they left.

Going Home - Greenies Home Rezzable to Close

The Greenies are leaving!!! One of the most amazing and fun places in sl is moving on. Here is the notice they sent out.

It's a sad day for SL and a sad day for all Greenie fans. The sim closes its doors June 23. :( We're gonna celebrate the Greenies Thursday - Sunday with Live performer, DJs, and many freebies. Join us for the last fun on a gigantic scale. Any performers who wanna join us .. you are sincerely invited to participate.. Angelina Rhode is the one who makes the schedule. ^^ See ya and please use the last week to explore each single corner of the sim.

I looked at the Rezzable Blog which was more poignant about the departure. But they are looking forward to having the home on their grid. How sad for us in SLthough. I have had so much enjoyment there exploring. The first view of the home causes your jaw to drop open. It is a massive home of some humans (never to be seen) who have greenies living in every crevice.

They are very mischievous alien critters. You will chuckle as you roam the floor or take a craft and fly around as the aliens do. I found a group zooming around when I visited tonight. I have fished in the kitchen sink there to win a greenie avatar. I have four of them. The store has so many . I was tempted to buy another but fought it off.

The next weekend looks like fun. You can still make a visit there until June 23. I know all those who have been there will want to take one more look. For those who have not, don’t delay a visit! - Greenies Home Rezzable (80,138,41)

Just to be sure the Greenies were at their new home safely, I got myself a Rezzable avatar and logged into the Rezzable grid and there they were!!!
