Linden Lab Reported To Be Investigating Charges Made Against Employees In Article

 

 In at least a few circles of Second Life's residents, there's been some discussion of an article written by a "Robert Bartos" with some serious allegations against a number of Lindens and Moles. Yesterday in New World Notes, Hamlet Au stated that "two highly credible sources" told him that the matter is now being investigated, "both the accusations themselves and whether they have defamatory intent. That's all that can be reported at the moment."

Two readers sent the editor a link to the article. But the more it was read, the more reason there was for skepticism. There wasn't much of any proof to the allegations. The author himself was unknown. 

Tales From Gaming : "L Is Real"

It's easy to believe rumors about games and gaming came about only when the World Wide Web made the Internet accessible to the masses. But even in the days before, there were still tales of secret rooms and characters you could unlock if you did a certain thing. In his article today, Cyfir (Cyfiremmerich) talks about one such rumor in which it was believed that in Super Mario 64, the character Luigi could be unlocked and played. As it turned out, the rumor wasn't entirely untrue.

Read Cyfir's story in Other Grids, MMOs, and Games.
