Cartoon of The Day: The Hell

 

 

 Taken at the Moon Dance. Someone went as Alistor, the demon in Hazbin Hotel with the near-perpetual smile and affable manner that often conceals his true feelings.

Game Review: Harem Hotel

 

Recently someone sent Nydia a game and asked her to take a look at it. The game is "Harem Hotel," and is Not Safe For Work with it's pornographic content. Unlike some other adult-rated games (perhaps most), this one has a plot, and it takes a little time for the action to start. The main character finds out his grandfather has passed away and has inherited his hotel, But it's not just any hotel. So what did Nydia think?*

Scenes From Ark: The Hotel Bunnytickle

It's been about a year since I've written about my friends' misadventures in "Ark Survival Evolved." Since then, the game itself has continued to evolve in more ways than I can describe here. Among the changes is a new map: "Ragnarok." Nydia and her friends quickly established a main base in a cavern. But some of us wanted our own secondary bases. Among them is this one in the east side of Viking Bay, which came to be called "The Hotel Bunnytickle." It's grown to be about a dozen stories in height.

Besides the new map, there's a spinnoff game called "Aberration." In this game, players deal with an Ark gone bad with radiation and powerful monsters on the surface, so they have to start underground. I may write on the game soon. But for now, here's a picture to show the hijinks with the dinosaurs continue.

Second Life Used For Hotels.Com's "Hotel Room Of The Future"

What will the hotel room of the future be like? It was a question recently asked by hotels.com, a hotels booking service on the Internet that many are familiar with due to their commercials. The result was a video done in Second Life for them by Pooky Amsterdam's Pookymedia. Pooky contacted the Newser about the details.

"It was Dr. James Canton who contacted us. He was the exec. producer of "Time Travelers," and Hotels.com asked him to do a prediction on hotels of the future and off world hotels. David Denton did the building for the Hotel on Mars. It's really stunning."

The video shows a futuristic-looking hotel room with amenities that have only recently been developed, still on the drawing board, or the technology hasn't been developed yet. These include a robot butler, a 3-D printer, a "smart toilet," and a bed with a "neuro-dreaming" feature.

Pooky went on to say while Pookymedia has done videos for clients before, hotels.com ranks as one of their biggest. More about the video can be read on the Pookymedia blog.



James Canton was interviewed by Canadian news station CTV News about the video, where he explained some of his predictions. You can view the interview here.

Bed Bug Hotel

Grey Lupindo does quite a bit of traveling in Second Life, as well as in real life. Unfortunately, real life travel has recently been getting a new hazard that hasn't been encountered in this country for decades: bedbugs. There's a place in Second Life made to educate people about how to avoid being the victim of these critters, the Bed Bug Motel. Grey checked in to see what the place had to offer.

Casablanca Hotel

Grey Lupindo recently made a visit to the Casablanca Suites & Hotel Beach Resort, at the Casablanca Hotel sim. This luxury hotel is well detailed, where one can have a romantic dinner with a partner, rent a hall for a wedding, or rent a suite or penthouse and live in this one of a kind place.
