The DawnKnight - A Movie

Saturday, October 30th, 2010

JohnVito has recently sent me the link to his latest SocioTown film - The DawnKnight, sequel to Knight of Darkness. You’ll see a lot of familiar faces, placed in very out-of-SocioTown setting, which I think is what makes this film stand out on its own. Reportedly, due to the high amount of special effects, it took roughly five months to complete this film.

Considering its dark mood, I find it to be a perfect short film to watch during the Halloween season. Enjoy!

A big thanks to JohnVito for sending me the link!

Behind the Keyboard - LucyB

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010
interview_01Article Submitted by Socian Nadia

A few days ago, I had this grand idea that, considering the SocioTown Journal and the blog focused mostly on in-game activities and lifestyle, perhaps I can volunteer my time to showing the SocioTown community what is going on with some of the Socians personal life.

It was two p.m yesterday when I sent out my first interview invitation to Socian LucyB. I awaited nervously in my apartment lobby, which I have deemed to be my interview office, for her to arrive. What questions to ask her? Would it be interesting? Thoughts raced through my mind a hundred miles an hour. It wasn’t until LucyB entered through the door, wearing her blue skirt and blue daisy crop top that those thoughts came to a halt and I came into the realization that I was doing this for fun!

Having been a Socian since January 2010, it’s no wonder that LucyB is already a level 13. LucyB sat across from me, flashing those pearly whites in the meantime, and I couldn’t wait to start my first interview.

Nadia = So, LucyB, where do you live in real life?
LucyB = I’ve been living in Ohio for 5 years. Before that, I lived in San Diego, California.
N =  Wow, that is a long way! Why did you move?
L =  I know right! I moved because of my family. They moved, so I followed.
N = Do you like it there?
L = No, I hate it. Too cold.  I don’t like snow.
N =  What do you do in Ohio?
L = I work as a paralegal
N =  Do you like it?
L = Sometimes. Sometimes it’s boring. We do patent and trademarks work.
N =  Do you ever get to see the actual stuff?
L = Only when the client sends it. One time the client sent dirt. They were trademaking special dirt. They used it to seal the cement.

N =  So how did it go?
L =  I couldn’t see it. The client only have pictures.
N = Do you make a lot of money as a paralegal?
L =  Not enough!
By this time, however, our interview had to be cut short as she noticed the time, panicked, and informed me that she had an appointment she couldn’t miss. LucyB hurried out the door, leaving me with a satisfied interview.

Hooray to Craig75 for being our first winner of the Room Challenges! One of the rooms in his apartment seemed to be themed as a meeting room aboard a spaceship, as several throned chairs surrounded the main table.

What’s interesting about this room is the contrasting antique lamps scattered around the place. Great job, and congratulations on winning 250 SoBucks!
