Early 2007 I discovered machinima, and i soon developed a passion for this new… Continue

Ad Nauseam: Win $L1,000 Quiz

This week I'm running a quiz in the Metaverse Messenger with a prize of $L1,000 (that's 1,000 "Lindens") for the first person who e-mails me with the correct answer. Because it's specific to readers of the newspaper I won't be reprinting it here or anywhere else.

However, there's nothing stopping you from going to the newspaper, reading the article (page 23), and sending in your answers.

Good luck.

The Ad Nauseam "Famous Last Words" Contest - Prize Announcement

So far I've got several entries, but they're all from the same person and while I have no objection to G2 winning it, it would be nice to have a bit more variety to choose from, so I've decided to let the contest go for another week.

I can at least announce what the prize will be: A free copy of the Virtual Worlds Press Club Media Directory. This is a handsome pdf book which lists all of Second Life's major and minor media with brief descriptions and contact information. It will be… Continue

Ad Nauseam: "V8 Juice and national unity"

The Metaverse Messenger didn't publish this week, so there is no new Ad Nauseam article. In its stead I've decided to reprint a piece I did back in 1994 when Quebec (led by Lucien Bouchard and his Bloc Quebecois Party) once again attempted to separate from the rest of the country. In the midst of the madness, Bouchard made headlines when he predicted Quebec's separation would lead to the swift fall of English Canada to American invasion.

And then these odd French-only V8 posters… Continue
