Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary interview in Second Life

by Eloise Pasteur Nov 8th 2007 at 11:01AM

To tie in with the launch of the film Beowulf, the writers Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary will be interviewed in Second Life on Saturday 10th November at 11am SL Time. Paramount ran a competition with 40 prizes of tickets to Beowulf Island, which seems to be closed now (sorry, I heard about this rather late), but you can see the interviews live at Eternal Flames Pier, Joysco Community Center, Hollywood Bowl, OnRez Event Center or The Shelter.

Comic geeks everywhere will remember Neil Gaiman from Sandman, and he is now a rather well known fantasy author as well. He was the writer of the original Stardust for example. Roger Avary may be best known as an academy award winner for co-writing Pulp Fiction.

Not complaining cuz I'm lovin this site. But why does Second Life have so many entries? The MMO list shows it having waayy more than any other game.

Are they just really active with info and events?

Basically, yeah. All the posts that used to go on SL Insider now go on here, while WoW Insider is still active.

Second Life really is that active and we as a news team covering Second Life Insider try to be that active too.

It's one of those things about Second Life - because it's completely driven by user-created content and activities over a huge range of types we have news every day, sometimes too much of it - none of us could get to a big event to announce the results of the Coca-cola contest earlier today for example.

Although I don't play any MMORPGs at the moment in years gone by I played Lineage and Shadowbane in beta. My memory of those is that there's a huge burst of news with the release of an update and with the aftermath as the new balances are discovered, then things settle down.

In SL, we might have more consistent news every day, and we report it too!
