As you may or may not know, several months ago Linden Labs banned 'Gambling' or at least, what THEY considered to be gambling. I have noticed however the money hugging casino equivalents such as 'Studio 777' (or should i say 666) are still allowed to run!
The banning of games such as poker was probably not because it's 'gambling' so to speak, as most people know there is an actual skill to poker, and counting cards can be an almost fool proof method of assuring a win.
The other issue with games like these, is that there will always be a winner, and my bet is that virtual 'casino' owners bombarded the Linden Labs emails with complaints about being ripped off. Unfortunately for them Linden Labs moved quickly to close their casino's and ban what are in my opinion 'winnable' games.
People may look at this article and go "So what? if your so stupid to waste your money there then you deserve to lose your money!" and my answer to this is simple, Linden Labs BANNED gambling, and i'm sure clubs like Studio 777 should have been told to take down their machines and major glitch rigging ways. But if my suspicions are correct, some of these club owners may have a tight working relationship with Linden Labs.
We need YOUR help to stop gambling!

Building in Second Life
I have been asked many times, "Can you teach me to build"? Well, if I had the time I would teach everyone how to build, but we all know that is impossible. What I can do is tell you where I learned how to build. Not only is learning to make items in Sl fun, but it can save you Lindens and you can even earn lindens by selling your creations inworld or on xstreet!
At the end of this article I am going to give you the slurl to my very favorite place in second Life, the happy hippo Building club. for L$100 you can join the club and become a "Happy Hipster". Becoming a "Happy Hipster" comes with many perks. Free access to all Happy Hippo classes, this includes the do it yourself classes and the classes taught by their first class instructors. You can learn anything from basic building to advanced scripting, clothes making and anything in between.
Happy Hippo's group chat is the best, you can im anytime of day or night with a question and someone will usually have an answer for you. Everyone in the group is very friendly and eager to help. Hippo also has a board of volunteers (I am one) that you can im any time for assistance.
Sounds like a lot for L$100 doesn't it? Well that is not all! (I sound like a commercial but it really is a great group) Freebies-Freebies and yes, more freebies. If you need just about anything for a building project it is there; textures, sculpts, scripts, gadgets and more. Hippo also offers a large selection of items for sale and proceeds help keep the school running.
I can not say enough good things about the Happy Hippo Building Club. I have learned a lot there and I will continue to take classes, get the freebies and tip to help support the sim. If you want to join the Happy Hippo Club and are short on linden, send me a message and I will be happy to pay the L$100 so you can go. Yeah it's that good!

Second Life Events
It's a Wednesday at 5:00pm slt, I am bored and I want something fun to do to liven up my mood. I haven't heard of anything fun going on so I am going to hit the event section. Wow, what a pile of crap today. I mean how many Best in Whatever Contest's can you have?
Alright, I found a Motley Crue Concert at a club called WET WILLIES ROCK CLUB. I am going to TP over and see what's going on.
OK, If this is not WET WILLIES this is definately heaven! What a sexy crowd. I mean long haired tattooed Gods with no shirts. Super sexy rock chicks with pieces of clothes on their bodies to die for. This was definately my kind of place!
I was immedietly welcomed by a friendly and fun crowd. That was a big relief, I hate going to those unfriendly, cliquey clubs. Everyone was rocking and the band was great. Motley Crue looked like the RL band and they moved around the stage and interacted with the crowd. They played a great music set including one of my favorites "Home Sweet Home". I literally broke a lighter out in my RL living room and sang along with them! My neighbors ears must bleeding, but I don't care it was great!. I must say I had a great time! This is an awesome place to meet new people and ROCK OUT \m/
*I give WET WILLIES ROCK CLUB a Thumbs Up!
