Open Forum: What Are Your Favorite Active Virtual World, SL, and Game Blogs? (Yes, Including Yours)

I'm slowly recreating my RSS subscription list in Google Reader after Bloglines imploded in fail-tacular fashion changed owners. Here's my current list of Second Life, virtual world, and gaming blogs in the queue. (Don't be hurt if yours isn't listed, I'll get to it!) I had to cull through a lot of inactive SL blogs that haven't been updated for months or even years, but I know there's still many that are yet out there and lively. Please post your favorite blog URLs in Comments, with a short description to pique us. And yes, do include your own blog, or ask your friends to do so. (Just as long as you post something substantial at least once a month!)

Just to mention two, I unfailingly read Dio Kuhr (at http://ephemeralfrontier.blogspot.com/) and Emilly Orr (at http://razorblade-cookies.blogspot.com/), both of whom you've mentioned on this blog.

[Laetizia Coronet]

I started writing again long after the demise of the Virtual Village Voice, which had more readers than my present day serious RL blog ever had. It's just thoughts though, nothing more ambitious.

Don't forget the Metaverse Tribune http://metaversetribune.com and Metaverse TV http://metaversetv.com :)

[Pamala Clift]

Well the Roadside Philosophers are in SL and meet every fortnight. (Also a part of Rockcliffe University) So a good portion of my current blogs are virtual world education.
I have been laid off from my university.. so now I will be blogging weekly.
Virtual world education & Virtual Relationships & psychology.

Ok, I am definitely going to give a shamless plug for my own blog. --- http://in-worldandout.blogspot.com/ Thanks for the opportunity.

[Stacia Villota]

Shameless plug: http://virtualneko.com/
My blog weaves a little bit of Neko into all sorts of miscellaneous short stories with beautiful photos. A fashion outfit always serves as a backdrop to the story. There are also tons of resource pages for AOs, tattoos, kimonos, Neko bits, and handy “how to” guides.

[Carrie Lexington]

shameless plug for me too :))

We have a new blog which is all about ...second life, real life musings, deep thoughts, funny stories and purile humour, usually but not allways..at our own expense. It's also a focus point for our new buisness producing mixed reality events. From me sometimes, from Bliss Windlow, prolific writer and there will be more contributors to come down the line. http:www.womenwhodancewithfrogs.com subjects covered are, second life/real life relationships, families, unfortunate accidents, stalking, frog dancing and more. Take a look RSS us or like us for facebook updated :) shamefully yours Paisley Beebe

I'll partly indulge the shameless self-promotion with my blog on collaboration uses of Virtual Worlds http://blog.knowsense.co.uk and also add the very useful and usually professional magazine of http://www.hypergridbusiness.com

[Mera Kranfel]

I live in science land is my first choise, without question:

[Night Nicholls]

Gillians Island---an informative fashion blog that will save lots of money for its readers. Gillian blogs everyday and includes fashion trends with Landmarks.

[Night Nicholls]

Yeppers! I will be self indulgent here. This is my Blog. What I write here is 90% culled from Second Life Profiles. Everything from funny to serious with names left off to protect the innocent and not so innocent.

The other 10% is a mixture of things that interest me and some chapters from a book I am working on.

[Pathfinder]

Here's my blog: http://becunningandfulloftricks.com

[Lara Panthar]

I find your blog very interesting and entertaining. I started my own last September, primarily of my sl photographs along with shout outs to some of my favorite creators. The beauty of our virtual world should be shared!

[Rafael Fabre]

Hello! I'd like to recommend a few SL blogs which have been running for quite a while, and have more of a Steampunk leaning...

a) Virtually Classic Fashions, by Miss Breezy Carver. This blog focuses on Steampunk and Dieselpunk era fashions and new designers in Second Life, and is updated daily with outstanding photography. It can be found at: http://seabreezegal.blogspot.com/

b) A Caledonian Journey, by Miss Rhianon Jamesons' dedicated blog to the Independent State of Caledon, and other Steampunk environs beyond. Updated daily, she does a tremendous job in providing news and profiles of one of Second Life's most successful entities. (at: http://rhianonjameson.blogspot.com/

c) Men's Second Style - For those fellows who may not be fashion-forward, so to speak, this website provides simple advice and good buy for men's attire in SL. It can be found at: http://www.second-man.com/

d) Finally, I'll add my own blog to the list. The Steampunk Tribune is one of Second Life's (and RL's) most frequented sites on Steampunk, of which I've been reporting on since 2007. I cover both RL and SL, emphasizing that there is indeed a vibrant Steampunk presence in the virtual worlds. It is located at: http://www.steampunktribune.com/

Looking for to the results!

Serving up commentary on the psychological aspects of life in a virtual world, for the best part of four years now.

[Nexus Burbclave]

I'd second both I live in Science Land and Pathfinder's blog. I'd also recommend http://www.hypergridbusiness.com/.

As for my own blog...Sadly I can hardly call it active at the moment, but I may fix that soon by featuring some of the new that I find from my New Year's Resolution.

[Kara Trapdoor]

http://karasecondlife.blogspot.com/ Kara's Korner, Second Life Adventures. You've seen it. A bit of this, that, and the other thing.

[Kara Trapdoor]

I also really like:

[Melissa Yeuxdoux]

I'd have to say Maggie Bluxome's blog, http://www.maggiebluxome.com/. Great photography and lots of information on clothing for the prim breast user and whatever else strikes Maggie's fancy or inspires her to comment.

OK, Buxom Life, http://epicdesires.guildportal.com/, is more than a blog, but users can create their own blogs there. I think that counts.

[Pooky Amsterdam]

Very wonderful of you to open this up - I certainly follow your blog like footprints in the sands of time-
Here are mine they are entertainment related - Our latest films are here and the shows as well. My blog posts are a bit further and farther between, the shows are weekly and embeddable to all.
