Amiga Gathering in Second Life
« on: July 02, 2010, 05:20:32 AM »
Hello!

I don't know if many have heard but there is going to be an Amiga Demo Party in Second Life this August.
http://virtuamigaparty.xooit.fr/index.php

I was thinking that in order to get more people to attend we should do a weekly meet up in Second Life.  This way people that have never used Second Life can log on and get use to using it.

Second Life accounts are free.  I know sometimes there is resistance to new technology and there is especially a lot of misconception around Second Life, but it is pretty cool technology and to me it is just the next step from IRC.

I was thinking we can meet up at the IBM site.  We just need to nail down a date and time that works best.  You can talk in Second Life like IRC or with a microphone if you choose.  If you don't use a mic you can still listen and just type yourself.

Here is a link to the IBM site.

If you need any help getting on please post in this thread.

I'll show up for a meetup. I've had an account there for years, haven't signed on in months. Any time is good with me.

That's a great idea - the next best thing after a real Amiga party :-) Btw, what are the HW requirements for SL? I'm currently in the process of upgrading my graphics card. I suppose I could use my mom's computer, she has ATI X200 IGP, that should suffice for the lowest settings...

800 MHz Pentium III or Athlon, or better
512MB of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 6600 or better
OR ATI Radeon 8500, 9250 or better
OR Intel 945 chipset


I just use a system with the built in Intel chipset and it runs pretty good.  


Well it's looking good so far.

Amiga, Diablo III, and Duke Nukem Forever fans.  We are a pretty patient lot. :laughing:

I had second life with a passion.  I don't have time enough to lead my real life without playing some idiot game that you have raise money just to buy yourself a decent A-Eon widget...

I'm quite happy with my real life A-Eon widget thank you very much, I was born with it and it's not detachable....

I too see it as IRC but with eye candy and good live DJ's ... what's not to like about it?  I've never understood the whole anti SL 'sadville' thing *shrug*

Hm, maybe I should install the linux client to "attend" this. Never really messed around with it

Uhm, I don't get the navigation on the virtual party website. What is the exact time and location of the party? Please specify the timezone as well.
