Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Bjorn Torsten is a reminder of how much fun Second Life can be when we just hang out and play. I remember this crazy game of basketball with Miffyhoi Rosca and Hatchy Mills. Hatchy and Miffy always had great scripted objects for playing tag, running in circles, or shooting watermelons at Gidge Uriza and me. So much silly fun. This reminds me of that. We tried to play basketball at this dude ranch where we would ride demo horses and jump the fence to get on the Linden Highway. I was a pretty good guard in real life but I really sucked at basketball in Second Life. I don’t think I ever made a basket.

Who doesn’t love swimming in the Linden Ocean? I love the waters of Second Life and it seems Bjorn and company do as well. I see you can play water polo in Second Life. IRL, we used to play greased watermelon football at Lake Bemidji in Minnesota, because it has a long and wide area of shallow water. Someone should make that in Second Life because trying to carry or throw a watermelon with a little Crisco rubbed all over it is hilarious.

Now, with "Seriously Kal! You Can't Just Break Up With Them, Like Normal People Do?", it seems Bjorn and his friends get up to more than the innocent fun of basketball and swimming. I think it would have been easier to dispose of the body before rigor mortis set in. Who is it, I wonder… 

Bjorn Torsten’s stream is full of innocent and not-so innocent fun. It reminds me how much joy there is in SL if we  just go with the flow and enjoy the Loituma Leek, the tag bracelet, and the watermelon gun.
