a big thanks by the way goes to Toran Cult and Michelene Bade, who built a few of the sets you see in this machinima. Their work is extraordinary and the collaboration with them is a true pleasure!

thanks sooo much for those comments. i can only repeat that i am honored to be able to work on this stuff. please make sure to watch in high quality. YouTube compression is truly horrible and does not reflect some of the detail i put into these reports.

Love the work Draxtor, Now if only others would put some effort into the quality of their own mics / sound setups XD

Great video and documentation. I think this helps explain SL and its benefits the best. I have Multiple Scelerosis and am a member of the Vitual Ability Group. It has been a tremendous help to me in many ways.

Great documentation of one of the greatest projects in Second Life. I am going to show this (among others of your videos) to my clients and students to show them how virtual worlds can make a difference and how they can be useful in (to some folks) unimaginary ways. Wirklich sehenswert :)

Ahh, very nice. 'Networked imagination.' :-)

With this video, Drax now has a Triple Crown! I just posted it to my facebook account and am sending the link to email contacts. Drax has shown far better than I can say why Second Life and it's ilk are such important media for effecting good works and a better real world for all. KUDOS, Drax!
