The Drax Files Episode 9 Is Out Now!

The Drax Files Episode 9 Is Out Now!

After a brief sojourn Draxtor Despres is back with another excellent episode of his machinima series ‘The Drax Files: World Makers’.

I really missed his regular updates while he was away, so I was delighted to receive word from the great man himself that he’d uploaded a new episode and raced home to view it.

This episode features Tiffany Mitchell (in-world Elie Spot), the designer behind coveted brands Mon Tissu and Celoe, both located on the Mayfair sim.

The first thing that struck me about Elie is that she is just as beautiful in real life as she is in Second, where she creates wonderful clothing, shoes and accessories.

I was really pleased to see her genuine enthusiasm for our virtual world, a trait that I absolutely adore seeing in fellow Second Lifers, and it would seem that the metaverse has provided her with a welcome outlet for her many creative talents.

There’s no doubting that Tiffany is a busy lass in both universes, and she lives the kind of life that I can only dream about. Second Life is her main source of  income (how impressive is that?) but she’s also a blogger at ‘Offbeat and Inspired’, a real life DIY lifestyle blog.  Not only that but she also finds the time to be the creative editor at ‘Cake & Whiskey’; a  magazine aimed at women in business.

I for one certainly found this edition of The Draxtor Files inspiring, and can only wish Tiffany/Elie all the very best for her future endeavours in both worlds.

Draxtor’s latest video takes us into the realm of gaming in Second Life with Mad Pea Games.

A team of collaborators, with Kiana Writer at the helm,  build dark and dynamic gaming environments which really push the limits of the Second Life experience.

Drax discovers how the team works together to create successful games in a world often plagued by frequent avatar crashing and lag, and also gets a sneaky peek at their next project.

This latest instalment really turned me on to the idea of using Second Life for gaming, and I cannot wait to try out the Mad Pea experience for myself.

Enjoy, and great work as always Drax!

Friend of Kittywitchin’ Draxtor Despres is going to be interviewed today as part of a series of Ekphrasis live talks presented by Rowan Derryth.

Draxtor has been showered in compliments recently due to his amazing ‘The Drax Files’ web-series but he’s been a pioneer of Machinima and at the forefront of Second Life media for a very long time. This live discussion will take place at 3pm SLT (that’s 11pm UK time..so not *too* late really!) and I’ve already booked my seat, as you can see!

I will of course try to avoid flashing my knickers at Drax, just in case I put him off!

I’m really looking forward to this chat. I think Drax is a truly inspirational character and he’s doing fantastic work for our community.

New ‘The Drax Files’ features a VERY special guest indeed…

New ‘The Drax Files’ features a VERY special guest indeed…

..in fact this episode features probably the most important person in Second Life, full stop.

CEO Rod Humble aka Rodvik Linden talks about Second Life and comes across as a genuinely nice guy.

Rather than being a CEO who keeps himself at a distance from the end product, Rod confirms that he actually uses various alts in-world that enable him to immerse himself in the experience without revealing his true identity.

Actually being able to engage with Rod via this video makes me happy; I really get the impression that he understands Second Life, and above everything else he also enjoys it too, which is of course absolutely crucial to the experience.

Seeing Rob so enthused by Second Life makes me feel confident  that as our metaverse approaches its 10th birthday we’re in safe hands, and as a resident, that’s just what I want to hear.

If you’d like to read a transcript of the full interview, check out Jo Yardley’s awesome blog.

Great work as always Drax, keep them coming!
