Breakfast In Babbage: The 80s!

It's Breakfast time again and we're looking at the 80s!

No, not the 1880s, but the 1980s: the decade when disco and flairs were out and perms and shoulderpads were in. Back when Transformers were still cool, Deloreans were the choice of time vehicle and Michael Jackson was black.

Join Edward Pearse at The Clarendon for 2 hours of novelty and nostalgia.

Saturday MORNING 13th of April.

8:00am - 10:00am

Happy Rez Day Mr. Gears

Congratulations to Mr. Gears for winning the third (mixed) race of the Annual New Babbage Pancake Races. And also a belated happy Rez Day as well. A finer valet a man could never ask for!

Bedlam in Babbage: Sports Edition!

Born to Run? Or perhaps you're more into Kung Fu Fighting? Can you last The Distance?

Join Edward Pearse for a musical foray into the realm of sport. I realise sport maybe something of a mystery to the typists behind your AVs but dig out your football gear or strap on your padding (or for Americans, do both!).

Join Edward Pearse at the Clarendon and take one for the team!

Radio Riel HQ rebuild

Previously the building that was the headquarters for Radio Riel was built some 5 years ago for Caledon Penzance. It moved twice more before coming to rest in Seraph City. While I am proud of what I did with the building at the time I felt it needed an upgrade.

Originally the new building was going to be based on the WJR Radio transmitter building in Detroit. But some discussions about the influence of Egyptian Revival on 1920s & 30s architecture inspired me to go for another look. So far I haven't seen any other 1920s sims that have an Egyptian Revival building. I'd certainly enjoy seeing more, even if not in so flamboyant a style.

This building has taken inspiration from Egyptian movie theatres as well as Egyptian style Masonic Temples. The Egyptian Theatre in Boise, Idaho being the most direct influence on the colour scheme. It's not completely finished yet: the power room needs some work and I plan on upgrading the broadcast booth.

But I'm quite pleased with things like the mesh railing around the stairs. 2 prim land impact for the section above!

Remember to check out the hieroglyphics in the foyer! Radio Riel Headquarters

Slime City rises again!

Waaaaaaay back in 2007 I stumbled across Slime Square, a Ghostbusters RP sim. Like so many things on SL it eventually disappeared.

However it now seems that one of the sim's original creators has paired with some new blood and they're creating a new version of Slime Square.

New York Public Library

Shhhhhh!

Oh yes they'll be totally discrete

 

Ray's Occult Books makes a return

Ghostbusters' HQ

Sculpt Ectomobile. Looks nice.

You KNOW what happens when Dickless shuts off the containment unit

Vigo the Carpathian's portrait is on display

The slime river running under New York

Phillies Cafe from Hopper's famous Nighthawks

Zuuuuuuuuuuul!

Spook Central

The Gatekeeper and the Keymater

The Traveller Has Come!

Gozer the Destructor!

While I don't have time to join in the sim for full time RP it's a great build with lots of things to find while you explore. And, as a nice change, you don't get bombarded by a million "Thou Shalt Not" pop ups when you enter the sim. If you're a fan of the movies or even if you just appreciate a great build, drop by for a look!

Bedlam in Babbage: Flight Edition!

Look! Up in the Sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... seriously? You can't tell the difference between a bird and Superman?

From Airship Pirates to Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines, join Edward Pearse as he explores the weird and wonderful music of the air.

Join us at the Clarendon from 2:00 - 4:00pm SLT on Saturday the 12th of January or tune it to http://steampunk.radioriel.org
