That sounds like a good idea Tatiana, let's try it after the next episode
I know we are just 2 or 3 episodes away from the season finale, but it would be nice to have a post where we could freely discuss each episode without the fear of spoiling someone new to the series.
@tatiana-dokuchic amazing news! Last night's episode was amazing btw, what a twist!
What a beautiful creation Zed!
Thanks for posting those Tat! I can't wait to take 360 pictures of my projects! I follow Strawberry's blog and feed, her posts are great! This is another one of her videos involving the Bento project, showing the possibilities for new mesh heads. I've tried it in world, it's very fun!
It looks amazing. I still play Skyrim sometimes, I just love the feeling of getting lost in that game, there's so many things to do in it.
I've been reading Peter the Great: His life and Work by Robert K. Massie. I loved his book about Catherine the Great, it has to be one of my favorite biographies, with the perfect blend of her personal life and politics. I'm finding myself less engaged in Peter's biography, but it is a great book and I look forward to finishing it. [I'd put a picture, but I can't figure it out how to use images from the web without having to save them first]
Another book that I'm taking a while to finish, not for the fault of the book but rather by being so busy both irl and in SL is Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies, by Jared Diamond. The book's theme is about why some societies have progresses quicker than others, and in turn conquered them. That's a question/theme I have been interested lately, but I haven't been able to fully dedicate myself to reading it yet.
I've been watching it since the premier, and I'm loving it. The premise is very interesting, I'm excited to see where the story goes. I'm not sure I'd go to the park if I had the chance, I'd feel so sorry for the hosts. The more you think about how human they are, the wronger it feels. But if I went there I'd try to immerse myself and hold my suspension of disbelief to get the most of it.
Also to complement your post @tatiana-dokuchic , the series are based on the 1973 Westworld movie, which was followed by a movie sequel an a serie in the 80s. In the original movie, besides the West World they had the Medieval World and the Roman World. I think those could be possible and very cool settings for future seasons perhaps.
As for the SL Westworld idea, I've been drawing parallels between the Westworld and historical RP sims in Second Life. In a way the administration is like the company running the park, and the players are the guests, with one big difference being that NPC-like hosts are not that common :p
So in a way, we already have several "Westworlds" in SL, @tatiana-dokuchic !
