Sci-Fi and Fantasie Grid Wide Hunt… yeah right…

2 08 2009

I’m not one to normally trash other people’s work… unless it really does annoy me, but this so called “Sci-Fi” and “Fantasie” Grid Wide Hunt… c’mon, you got to be kidding me!!!

Science fiction is a genre that involves (amongst many other things) the impact of scientific developments in society, which leads to such brilliant things as robots taking over Humanity, space ships, time-travel, aliens and so many other things…

Fantasy is even more broader (even Science fiction is a type of fantasy), though its generally used to coin a particular genre of fantastic medieval stories, ussualy involving dragons, fairies, knights, sorcerers and so on…

THIS hunt… well… it is Fiction alright… but not Science nor Fantasy.

Truth be told I’ve only been to 1/3 of the locations… so there’s hope an actual Sci-fi or Fantasy store may pop up… (Ok… I’ve seen 2 or 3 sort of sci-fi stores already … out of 30!!) But really… couldn’t they choose a PROPER name for a hunt instead of a misleading name?

*sigh*

With so many great fantasy & science fiction stores in SL… how did they come up with *these* … places? Seriously… It’s awful… avoid it. Unless you’re hunt addict and you have done ALL the other hunts going on this month…. and even so… hmmm, I’d give it a second thought.

So I’ve sayeth.

Happy Birthday Bare@Rose

28 08 2008

To say that I like BareRose is an understatement. A BIG understatement. I LOVE that place. Most my clothes shopping is made there and I start to notice that I already know every single corner of the place by heart, but I don’t care. Most good looking outfits for men I’ve seen in SL are from there, though… some other shops also have good looking and non-boring stuff… but not at THOSE prices!! Simply: BareRose rocks!

They are now celebrating their 3rd anniversary. So, my congratulations and wishes that you may celebrate much more!!

And what did they do to commemorate such an occasion? They throw out a superb hunt for freebies… well, its an insult to call *that* freebies, such detail and so damn good looking are they, that no one will ever believe I got those for free… but thank you again B@R :D

Not only the items you hunt for are exquisite, but you are also presented with a bit of challenge to solve the puzzles (not that hard, but its all fun) and a very interesting, albeit sad, though inspiring and hopeful, story of a lonely King and, ultimately, his love the Queen… it even adds a moral in the end in their very own special way… but I don’t wanna spoil it to you. Just go there and take part on the celebration of BareRose 3YA and have a great hunt! (be wary, there be dragons abound though)

So… rock on BareRose, ‘cuz you rule.

And all this I was able to share and experience with my own very special queen by my side (who, let’s face it, looks awesome in that new outfit ;) )
