Man Week – B/W Weapons, a trifecta of awesome
Last year Klatu of Urban Zombie gave us a runthrough of the weapons in B/W Weapons V5-series. You can see the videos for that here(p1), here(p2) and here(p3).
Since then, B/W Weapons have come out with their newest versions, giving you even more power than before. Something not many knows thou is that Urban Zombie is a central part of B/W Weapons, as is Minstrel Weapons… well, let’s just take the whole story!
When Klatu started Urban Zombie he was determined to find the ultimate zombie shooting experience, so he collected a list of ALL weapon stores in SL and the marketplace. He loaded his account with 100 000L$ (that’s roughly 500US$, or as we say here in Sweden: A lot of money) and went through the whole list, buying samples of weapons from each of the stores. None of them worked as he wanted them to. Either they weren’t powerful enough (this was most weapons), they weren’t handled realistically or they didn’t work at all. He contacted all of the weapon creators, asking if they could set him up with weapons that met his criterias, which was hard, since he’s a RL veteran and knows weapons in a way few people on this planet does, along with a life-long zombie enthusiast, making him an expert in zombie shooting realism.
On the bottom of the list was a little gunshop named Minstral Weapons, owned by Sera Ontoro. Klatu asked Sera if it was possible, and Sera just replied with “I’ll be back”. Flash forward a couple of hours, and Sera teleported in to Klatus little place where he had some zombies set up for testing. Seras hands were filled with weapons and he handed one of them to Klatu. Klatu shot ONE test round of the newly created special bullet script and he immediately knew this was the weapon smith for Urban Zombie. Continue reading

If you are a fashionista in Second Life and are looking for a really great fashion week to attend, then check out Avenue’s Sprng/Summer Fashion Week, which kicked off on Sunday.
Second Life Hunt: The Suicide Awareness Hunt
In the UK, according to the Samaritans 2012 Report, there were between 5000-6000 suicides (both male and female) in 2010. According to the World Health Organisation in the US there were around 0.012% in 2009. The WHO also states that the top three countries that have the highest Lithuania, South Korea and Guyana.
I don’t know any one who has committed suicide. The closet I’ve been is knowing someone who knows someone who has. I don’t understand why someone would do that, to me life gets hard, yes, but you work through it. You fight for it.
So doing the Suicide Awareness Hunt was good for me and any one who doesn’t know much about what
drives people to suicide. Created by Second Life Resident Joshuan Banx, it was developed to help those who don’t understand, those who want to help but aren’t sure how to, and those who might need help but aren’t sure where to get it. Hunters follow the story of a girl named Juliana, and her family as they deal with Juliana’s suicide. Players are given the choice of choosing one of two paths, one path takes them on a journey to save Juliana and another takes them on a path if they are not sure how to save her.
It is a heart breaking yet informative hunt that will leave you with a better understanding of what drives people to suicide and how it can affect those around them even after their death.
The Mental Health Awareness Retreat is a parcel in Second Life, that gives help and support to those with mental health or those who are looking for resources on mental health.
The Suicide Awareness Hunt ends on December 15th. To Start the Hunt head over to the Mental Health Awareness Retreat and choose the path you would like to take. Check out their website for more details.

For Her, we have this stunning Pilgrim outfit for no money at all, but hurry up, it will only be available until after Thanksgiving. The hat is modable, so if you’re a man and just want a pilgrim hat, this is a good deal for you too.
For the man who wants a complete outfit, this one for just 1L$ has many modable options with resize scripts in almost every part. It’s a bit darker than usual and complements the female outfit perfectly.
What is a Thanksgiving without the main attraction, the food? This complete set for 185L$ is copyable, so you can set out as many plates as you need to entertain all your guests. One of each is just 66 prims and our feast for 8 people, with a side of pie for everyone, is 147 prims.
Food is not enough on a Thanksgiving table, you need decorations too. This beautiful floral arrangement costs just 1L$ and is also transferable, so you can bring it as a gift if you’re one of the guests.
To cap the evening off, why not enjoy some of SL’s finest wine? This beautiful set covers two people and is transferable, so you can give each guest their own glass. If you have more than six guests, the set is completely free, so you can get as many as you need.
