Rezzed.TV Presents Emerald: Your Questions, Answered.

Earlier this week we held a panel discussion on how dangerous third party viewers could be. After the panel, Emerald team members who attended asked us if they could answer some questions from the audience who were asking specifically about the Emerald Viewer due to the events of “Emeraldgate”. After several hours of fielding questions we extended an invitation to the Emerald developers to appear on a panel discussion to answer more questions from the residents of Second Life.

So this Saturday at 4pm SLT at the Rezzed TV Ampitheater, that is exactly what is going to happen. The members from the Emerald team will answer all the difficult questions that the community has about the viewer.

    VWE MASSACRE 8/20 5:00PM SLT

    http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rezzed%20TV%20Island/181/62/22

    GET READY FOR A MASSACRE!!!!   This it it!!! VWE MASSACRE IS FINALLY HERE.  And boy do we have some fantastic matches planned for you.  3 Titles! 3 Cages! A whole lot of Anarchy.  Yes the Women’s, Tag Team and World Heavyweight Titles will be on the line.  And all of them will be defended inside a Steel Cage!  Plus there are some other great matches to be seen. And with 3 cage matches, there bound to be some bloodshed.  So sit back, hold on tight and get ready for a MASSACRE!!

    Our first match will be “The Samurai” Surik Oanomochi going up against “The Cereal Killer” TonyDaTiger Composer.   What a way to start the FPV with a match between one of the most honorable Superstars in the VWE and one who is…well not so honorable.  Tony has abosolutly no luck at all with his career and Surik is rising to the top.  How will these two Superstars fair up against each other?

    Our second match will be “The Gavel” Adune Snowpaw taking on “The Juggernaut” MadMax Vaher.  Adune is laying down the law and he wants to sentenced VWE most hardend criminal MadMax.  MadMax has contantly been on the thorn of Adune’s side, and Adune will judge Max and make sure he will pay for his crimes.  Given the height and weight difference The Gavel shows no fear to the Juggernaut.  Will Max escapes his final Judgment or will the Gavel bring down this wanted Felon?

    Our third match will be for the VWE Women’s Championship in a Steel Cage Match.  “The Heart Breaker” Sierra Charisma has taking out Vendetta indefinitely.  Now she will challenge anyone to prove that she is the fighting champion she claims to be in the Steel Cage.  She will take on anyone who dares face her in the ring.  Who will challenge her for the Women’s Title.  Who will break the Heartbreaker’s Heart?

    Our forth match will be for the VWE Tag Team Championship also in a Steel Cage Match.  The Royal Regime was supposed to defend the titles against The New Revolution.  However an unexpected attack has forced “The Eliminator” Seth Cameron out of action and TNR is out of the competition.  So hopefully a new team will take their place.  However it hasn’t been all smiles in the Royal Regime.  there are tensions between “The German Sensation” Loody Graves and King Benja.  If they don’t get their act together they will surely lose the belts.  Will the Regime get their act together and who will they be facing for the titles

    Our Main Event will be for the VWE World Heavyweight Championship and it will be our Final Steel Cage Match.  Brakman Wylder will defend the World Heavyweight Title against the Number One Contender Sam “The Man” Jarvinen.  Everyone has been anticipating this match for quite some time now.  These two have been at each other throats for the past few weeks leading up to this event.  Sam has turned his back on his fans and is only looking out for himself.  He has been determined to win the Heavyweight title.  Brakman is ready to defend his title to the end. And it won’t be easy with these two surrounded by steel.  it is possible they will literally tear each other apart.  What will be the outcome? and who will become the VWE World Heavyweight Champion when it is all over.  FIND OUT AT VWE MASSACRE

    Cybergrrl Oh – This Week’s Guest: epredator Potato

    Ian Hughes a.k.a epredator when online, is a Metaverse Evangelist. He set about leading a band of like minded individuals and subsequently many thousands of colleagues in IBM into virtual worlds like Second Life in 2006, and beyond. This sparked the massive growth in interest from enterprises and press alike. As a public figure in Web 2.0 and a leading blogger on http://www.eightbar.comhe has shown that leadership can be driven by the digital native and innovators can gather together regardless of geography or organization. Cultural and technology changes and new ways to operate across companies is a core theme. In 2008 he received the first industry award for Innovation in Virtual Worlds in the Enterprise . As a digital native his epredator persona spans many Web 2.0 places, blogs, PSN, WoW, Xbox Live, Twitter, Flickr, Linkedin etc. Understanding how to use that presence, still representing himself but with elements of theatre brought about by more creative expression online leads him to no longer be the programmer he grew up as.

    Virtual worlds also extend to more than just entertainment or corporate communication. Representing past cultures, existing places, instrumenting the planet, showing business process models in actions the list goes on. Metaverses can also be used to deliver virtual goods, but now making those virtual goods real again is possible. Rapid fabrication and the rise of the fabricaneur heralds another phase in our existence online

    A former IBM Consulting IT Specialist who has worked on leading edge emerging technologies for the past 20 years, and now an independent consultant and director of Feeding Edge Ltd. A programmer since he was 14. As a gamer he has seen a massive increase in the capability and design ethics within games and the rise of online gaming. In 1997 Ian started working on all things web, changing his perspective on the technology and the business due the much richer mix of people involved in the web revolution. Graphic Designer, Producers and Programmers all having to work together.

    As a public speaker he shares his experiences both of the growing virtual worlds industry, the changes in culture, personal experiences of challenging the status quo and leading through doing.

    He is chairman of the British Computer Society Animation and Games Specialist Group. Promoting the games industry and associated technology within the BCs but also reaching out to the games industry to help provide professional recognition to the development community.

    Meet epredator this Thursday, August 19th at 11:00 AM SLT/PST at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rezzed%20TV%20Island/42/210/25

    Our second match will be Braden Karsin taking on “The Arcane Nomad” Sylmarils Dreamscape.  Braden last Primetime defeated Hoyce Fang to get a shot at the VWE Exhibition Championship.  But first he has a bit of a obstacle in the form of the former Exhibition Champion.  Will Braden step into the plate to take out the giant Nomad.

    Our third match will be “The Hardcore Freak” JennF Parkin taking on Candice Serenity. Last week on Edge we were suppose to see Candice in action by a accident occurred when the pyrotechnics went off early and hit her face.  The cause of the accident, sabotage cause by non other than Jennf herself.  Now Candice wants revenge!  Will she make the freak pay or will she be setup again

    Our Main Event will be for the VWE Tag Team Championship.  The Royal Regime (Loody Graves and Benja Nirvana) will defend their titles against the team of “The Samurai” Surik Oanomochi and Adune Snowpaw.  The Board of Directors decided to reinstate the Tag Team Belts and immediately give them to The Royal Regime, who are supporters of the BOD.  We have seen Surik and Adune in single competition but this will be the first time we will see them team up for the Gold.  Will this new team be able to dethrone the Regime or will the Regime once again stand tall.  Find out Sunday at 3:00PM SLT on EPIC.

    HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!! In celebrating America’s Independence, VWE will give you non-stop hard hitting SL wrestling action as always.  But this week EDGE will be very special as it will be 3 HOURS LONG!!  Yes Edge will be showing it’s American spirit by running for 3 Hours and it will also start an hour early, at 5:00pm SLT.  Four VWE Championship titles will be on the line.  So bring up that BBQ get your beach towels and American flags, because there will be a lot of fireworks live at Rezzed.TV at 5:00pm SLT

    Our first match will be for the VWE Exhibition Championship.  The Champion “The Arcane Nomad” Sylmarils Dreamscapewill defend his title against Stephen Copperfield.  Both Sylmarils and Stephen are two unstoppable forces on Xtreme, neither of them ever losing a match.  Now Stephen and Sylmarils will go at it and it will be for the belt.  Will the 7-foot be able to keep his gold or will we see a new champion crowned?

    Our second match will be for the VWE Women’s Championship.  The champion “The Hardcore Freak” Jennf Parkin will defend her title against Rondarad “The Silver Girl” Silverfall.  Rhonda gets the opportunity of a lifetime, to go for the women’s title.  However, this will not be an easy task for her as she has to go up against one of the most craziest women in all of the VWE.  Let’s hope Poor Rhonda is up for the challenge and try to claim the gold from the Freak.

    Our third match will be a Triple Threat Match for #1 Contendership for the VWE World Heavyweight Title.  The three combatants are Sam “The Man” Jarvinen, “The Great One” Derrick Cult and “The Voodoo King” Acheron Nightfire.  No three men have ever been more deserving to be No. 1 Contender, and these three will duke it out to see who will get the chance to face the Current Heavyweight Champion “The Eliminator” Seth Cameron.  Will one of these combatants have what it takes to win?

    Our forth match will be for the VWE United States Championship.  The Champion Brakman Wylder will defend against“The Toxic Angel” Shinja Ugajin.  Brakman has successfully defended his title from varies wrestlers and has been successful defending his title.  However facing the toxic one won’t be a simple task. Shinja has been very unpredictable as of late and nothing will stop him from taking the US title from Brakman.  Will we see a new US champ?

    Our Main Event will be for the VWE World Heavyweight Championshipin a First Blood Match.  The Champion “The Eliminator” Seth Cameron will be defending against “The Legend” Hulk Parkin.  We have not seen The Eliminator in action since VWE OVERDRIVE when he won the title from Loody Graves.  After healing himself both physically and mentally, he is ready to return to the ring to put his gold on the line against one of the greatest wrestlers of all time in a First Blood Match where one must make their opponent bleed.  Who will draw Blood First? Will Seth be able to retain his title or will the legendary Hulkster reclaim his gold once again.  Find out on EDGE live on REZZED.TV in our Edge 3 Hour Forth of July Special at 5:00pm SLT.

    The Indie Channel Launches!

    Yesterday in the midst of all the excitement with the opening of SL7B, we launched a new area on the network that we call The Indie Channel.

    What is the Indie Channel?

    Simply Put, it is a showcase of independent machinima creators for virtual worlds. The simple idea is we wanted to have a place to showcase some of the truly brilliant works of machinima in Second Life and we created this new area on Rezzed.TV.

    So Whats in the Indie Channel so far?

    We currently have two fantastic and well known machinima artists on board for The Indie Channel on Rezzed.TV and their works will be showcased on Rezzed.TV over the coming months. We are happy to announce those creators are Draxtor Despres and Chantal Harvey. We are extremely happy to have them on board for this exciting new venture.

    Sounds Great, How Do I Get Involved?

    It’s pretty simple to get on board for our new channel. As long as you’re a machinima creator, you qualify for entering the channel. Just email us at contact@rezzed.tv to ask to join the channel and also ask any other questions you may have about the channel.
