The Retro Game Adventure

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: The leader singer of a California punk rock band, Dino had a passion for video games. The bright colors and happy 8-bit bleeps made his child's heart glow. He repaired old arcade machines and game consoles as a side business to supplement his income in-between gigs. But there was one game he longed for that he could never find. Until one day he got a mysterious email.

This gamer room makes me feel stupid happy, like a cozy hideout where your buds come over and you shoot the shit for hours. lol You can get the Retro Game goodies at the new round of Level Up, but you need to be fast, the 5th is the last day. From Level Up: The little green hair elves are wearable pets gacha by swagga. The Tossing Barrels Arcade game by Nomad is a wearable backpack and it is animated! (I scaled it up larger for the picture and hid the backpack straps.) The Pac Man Ghost wall art is by Frogstar, and the black art poster is by Unrependant. On the table are the brick cube, coin, and question mark box are by Mien. The Gamer bracelet and ring are a gacha by Nomad. It's non-rigged so you can adjust it for a good fit. The Headgear is by Swagga and it's also editable non-rigged mesh. The glass elements on the eye piece are animated and you can change the color with a hud. Other things I am wearing: The new years group gift hair from Tableau Vivant comes with all the color huds and it has fits for girls and guys. The piercings are by Haus of Darcy and were on sale at the last round of Tengoku-no-rakuen. (Also by Haus of Darcy on sale at Creation.Jp are nipple piercings with several styles of piercings.) The jean vest by 7 Mad Ravens is on sale right now at the Cosmopolitan Sales Room. You can get it in Punk like above, camo, or rebel styles. The Wasted jeans are also by 7 Mad Ravens. The New Rock boots are subscriber gift from Hoorenbeek. To get them, join the subscriber group and wait 15 days. Then go back to get the gifts. Now, perhaps you are noticing how nice the details are on they arms and hands here. You didn't? Look again. That is a fitted mesh body for men by Kauna. It's on sale right now at FaMESHed. (In a later post I will tell you all about the new fitted mesh bodies for the guys.) Happy New Year, Game on!

The Immortal 500: The Dominion of Team Nightrik

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: The increased enthusiasm for this year's race made no difference to team Nightrik. The brother and sister team ruled supreme over the Immortal 500 and no ambitious punk was going knock them off their throne. They had talent. They had cyborg implants and years of game simulations. And if all that failed, they had their secret stash of Noble Blood charged Nightrik fuel and mutant pet sabotagers.

Nightrik Nos is wearing the badass Viking Hair mohawk by Tableau Vivant. You can pick it up at the Fantasy Collective. The rigged Viking Hair has a long braid in the back with ties in the back color change. From Level Up are the fun goggles by Violent Seduction. You can get then in 14 different colors. They come with a hud to change the metal and texture of the lens. The anime style armwarmers by Cubic Cherry come in sizes large and small, and 8 different colors. On my shoulder, looking like an evil Pikachu, is Sunderblast from the Monster Slayer gacha. He looks so mischief, love it! The nails are Wicked Peach Checkered. Over at We <3 Role Play, you can pick up the cool Cyber Wrench by YumYums on sale. It comes in version for the belt or the hand with a trigger animation. If this makeup reminds you think of Labyrinth, you're right! I picked it up at Serafilms last month. You can pick it up at the Bubble mainstore. Under the eyes is the Sleepless makeup by Clemmm currently on sale at Tengoku Rakuen Furimaketto. The white nylon vest, shirt and shorts I picked up during Grasp's 4 anniversary. The p.a.n. stompers are by Death Row. I used the rigged Ice boot and added an tint of purple for a great effect. The "For the Win" pose is by An Lar Poses at Level Up. In the image below is the Monster Slayer follower Ghost Face. He bobs up and down, and the light changes. You can pick him up too at Level Up.

STORYLINE: What a shame if team Nightrik knew when the starting light would turn green 10 seconds before anyone else. It would be an unfair advantage, wouldn't it?
