Jul 10th, 2008 | By Gary Hayes | Category: Last Post, Virtual Worlds, Web 3.0

Although this new soon to be ubiquitous virtual world is not as vastly customisable as Second Life it has some nice useful, linear machinima features such as the rather quaint preset animations and its obvious cartoon aesthetic. I just put together a quick sequence of some of the ’solo’ animations of the toons up onto [...]
