Atlas Hopping with Drax and Strawberry, Episode 5!

Wow, hard to believe that we are already on Episode 5! I joined the party late because I was busy doing The Renaissance Hunt 7 over in Second Life. There are over 70 wonderful gifts, so be sure to do the hunt before it ends September 30th! Here is my medieval roleplay avatar, Scarborough Fair, wearing the beautiful Lucia gown by Jezzixa Cazalet for Prism Designs, and the Santiago coin brooch by Jacon Cortes Designs, both of which are free Renaissance Hunt gifts:

Today we visited four Sansar experiences (I was only at the first three):

  1. Hootenanny, by Lillani
  2. VR Cult – The Events Hub, by Colpo Wexler
  3. Astro Port, by Mold3D
  4. Beginner Yoga Session for Headset Users, by Dutchie

VR Cult Sansar 2 Sept 2017

The VR Cult experience is particularly captivating in a VR headset. As I mentioned earlier when I selected this experience as my Pick of the Day, VR Cult is currently hosting two exhibits of artwork by the Italian artists Matteo Guariso, a photographer, and Francesco Musante, a painter and illustrator.

Here’s Strawberry Singh’s live stream of our Atlas Hopping event:

And here is Draxtor Despres’ live stream:

Today we visited no less than six different experiences in our Atlas Hopping adventure! Unfortunately, Draxtor Despres could not join us for most of it! Drax is currently on holidays in Slovenia and he was trying to connect to Sansar using his laptop on the hotel’s wifi, and he had a very poor Internet connection.

But Strawberry was a great hostess and she led us on a tour of the following six experiences:

  1. An Evening at the Ballet, by Bryn Oh
  2. Colossus Rising, by Sansar Studios
  3. Clockworks Club Demo, by Galen
  4. The Neighborhood, by BlackNewsMan
  5. Accuracy Training Module, by Nebulae
  6. Little Holland, by Richardus Raymaker

You can watch Strawberry’s live stream of our travels here (this YouTube video is 1 hour and 15 minutes long):

Drax at Dwarven Fortress 10 August 2017

Today Draxtor Despres, Strawberry Singh, me, and a bunch of other people met at 114 Harvest for another atlas-hopping adventure! The three experiences we visited today were:

  1. The Roof, by Lenni Foxtrot
  2. The Silence, by Omiluo
  3. Dwarven Fortress (formerly Dwarven City), by David Hall

Both Strawberry and Drax live streamed the event. They stayed together for the first two stops, but at the Dwarven Fortress, they separated. Drax interviewed Maxwell Graf while Berry talked with David Hall and Ai Austin in a different part of the experience, so you might just want to watch both streams to get the full picture of what happened.

Strawberry Singh: Atlas-Hopping in Linden Lab’s Sansar with Berry and Drax (she was using Sansar on the desktop)

Draxtor Despres: Atlas-Hopping with Drax and Berry in Sansar (he was using Sansar in his VR headset)

Once again the friendly bickering and rivalry between Drax and Strawberry was highly entertaining. Notice how Berry and Drax cannot even agree on what to call the show, and in what order their names should be? LOL! 😉

Again, it was a lot of fun! Thanks to Drax and Strawberry for hosting!

Update August 11th: Lenni Foxtrot shared this great photo on Facebook of our tour group gathered at her experience The Roof. She made the large purple-and-yellow flower you see in this picture herself using Microsoft Windows’ Paint 3D program, which allows amateur designers to create an FBX-format object that can be directly uploaded into a Sansar experience! Lenni says in her Facebook post:

They came to the silly spot I made. They cared that I gave it an amatuer shot, and rezzed a few things from Paint 3D. And we laughed a lot. A community in Sansar takes off!

Atlas Hopping with Drax and Strawberry (Episode Two) on Thursday August 10th

After our highly enjoyable first foray into Atlas Hopping last Saturday, Draxtor Despres has announced that he, Strawberry Singh, me, and whoever else wants to join us, are going on another Atlas Hopping adventure this coming Thursday, August 10th at 9:00 a.m. Sansar time (Pacific Time). Come join us in-world at Drax’s 114 Harvest experience, which will be our starting point for our metaverse (mis)adventures.

If you cannot join us in-world, then watch either Drax’s or Strawberry’s live streaming of the event on YouTube (here’s Drax’s channel and here’s Strawberry’s channel). We had great fun at our last Atlas Hopping event, so please come out and join us!

Update August 10th: Strawberry Singh has written a great post on her blog about this! She and Drax are now planning to do a weekly show on Saturdays called Atlas-Hopping in Sansar with Berry and Drax!
