Last Class in SL screen shots

Class meeting for the last time Aaron brought us to some new places in SL.

Class taking in some sights in Africa when we were attcked by Wall-E and Jonny #5

very wierd. Also the animals were nice got a couple nice screen shots from this place.

Me sitting on a croc in SL Africa with the class.

This is me trying to do some Tai Chi with a group in this wierd SL sight!

This was the class checking out the inside of the Brain. Looks like Stew was having some issues with his avatar.

Virtual Hallucinations

This is me and the class checking out the Virtual Hallucinations sight on SL.

This sight was wierd because it was only a voice telling you to kill yourself.

Not much of a hallucination.

Had some troubles with my avatar not showing up.

Fake or Foto

Here is my score from the fake or foto sight. It was harder than I thought to find the real photos.

Spore Creatures

MAT (Monster All Terrain) is a mainly a land creature but can move through the water just as fast. With there lanky body and long limbs he is a very intimidating creature. MATs use there flippers to navigate through the water, while other limbs are a little clomsy he uses a fierce tail with spikes for his defense.

This bug eyed creature is shy one. Nimas are a land based creature that blends into there surroundings.

Sirpas are a big creature, and command a lot of attention for there angry temper. Don't be fooled by the Sirpas big frame, because with his wings he can a fly and attack in a moment without notice.

Here is Rotag with 2 children. Rotag is a water based creature that has evolved over time to walk on the land. Rotag has 5 legs and 4 libs. On his rear he has a flipper like fin that lets him move through the water very quickly. Watch out Rotags have a fierce bite.

Crysis Warhead Demo web page

So I found a FPS (First Person Shooter) PC demo. Crysis is made by EA and is a Windows PC only game. Which means you can not play this on a Mac, PS3 or Xbox 360.
On this page EA has developed a Java applet that lets you test your computer system to see if you have the minimum requirements to run the game on. Below is my failed test from my Dell laptop.
