The Lounge is perfect for intimate dates when you don’t want to be surrounded by the crush of people at Ambrosia yet groove out to the best DJs in SL. Non-members who enter the area are immediately eviscerated and ejected for your viewing pleasure by the ever vigilant backstage bouncer so there is no need to be worried about being disturbed by inquisitive noobies.

Perfect for romantic encounters or just to hang out mostly undisturbed with your friends, the new VIP lounge is already a smash hit.

Tons of New Djs coming up

Its been a busy week with a lot of new DJs signing up to spin at the club for the first time. Keep a close eye on the calendar to see all the new talent coming in to keep the entertainment at Ambrosia fresh. Our Djs run 24 hours a day so you are always in for a great time. You can read more about our DJs and find out why they are the very best in Second Life.

No this is not one of the new djs. It’s just someone who wandered in and discovered the contents of the Ambrosia freebie box. He may have eaten some bad mushrooms prior which would explain the bizarre skin coloration.

Renovations Complete!

Ambrosia Dance Club recently closed for three days so that renovations could be completed. The Sim was plagued with lag so we brought in a Lag Reduction Specialist (LSR) to totally rebuild this Sim so it would run faster. Using the formula “X = {q + [q2 + (r-p2)3]1/2}1/3 + {q – [q2 + (r-p2)3]1/2}1/3 + p” we were able to determine that the Sim was totally phuqued up and had to be constructed from scratch.

The New Ambrosia is leaner, meaner and greener with a total reduction of 33% avatar fenestration rate and a negative BLEM factor of 4.3 ! What this means for the average non-tech person who does not understand such arcane information is that its much betterer and you should actually be able to rez things when there are 50 people in the club. So yes, its good. There are some minor changes to the venue. We gave you a slightly bigger dance floor and have retrofit the club to comply with the ADA (Ambrosians with Disabilities Act of 2010) Standards for Accessible Design.

Pepper has supervised all aspects of the reconstruction to assure that only top quality materials and labor were used and that everything was placed according to specifications. I suspect that she did eat one of the undocumented day laborers but she wont admit a thing.

New Second Life Web Based Viewer is Way Cool

By Phil F. Kearny

I just finished my sixty minute test drive on the the new web based second life viewer. This is the beta test i had written about previously that allows a person to access Second Life off the regular old web. Ambrosia Dance Club is one of several dozen test destinations available to the beta testers. After a brief video to test the connection, I was invited to explore the world. Offered a choice of several dozen avatars, I settled on “Pasty Round headed Newb” and was quickly transported in world. Everything rezzed as quickly as it does on my regular viewer and I was able to select Ambrosia from a list of featured clubs. I teleported in and everything rezzed in full detail with DJs Tristain and Sofia sounding great.

My name was a randomly generated set of numbers with the last name of “Guest” which led to some comments from patrons who had no idea what this was all about. Being anonymous, I sent a series of annoying IMs to DJ Sofia asking for Lindens and Sex and promptly found my self banished to the bottom of the Ambrosia Ocean with fire shooting out of my orifices. A frantic IM saying “Wait, wait it’s me Phil” finally allowed me to get back in to the club where I enjoyed the next 27 minutes chilling to the great music and fully interacting with the crowd. I was unable to use the INTAN balls but was able to dance on some poseballs.

There are a ton of things to work out but if this works in anyway close to the beta test I think it will increase the population of Second Life exponentially. As a way of introducing people to the grid, it truly is fast and easy.

For those of you who are interested in the technical aspects of how this works, the Second Life world is being hosted on servers provided by Gaikai which is a cloud based gaming service that was created to allow 3D video games to be embedded into any website and played in modern web browsers giving users the opportunity to run an application or a game without having to ever register, download, or be redirected to a different site

The service works by running video games on Gaikai servers, which then stream audio and video output to the user over the Internet. Game control input is simultaneously sent from the user’s client upstream to the server. And with all game processing and 3D rendering done remotely on Gaikai servers, the game is able to run on any client device capable of playing video with a broadband connection. What does this all mean? It means that with 4G networks being rolled out this month we will truly be able to access SL off of our mobile devices and not have to use other services to stay in contact with our SL friends. It is the revolution that could make SL accessible to everyone.

If you are interested in giving it a go here is the link: http://interest.secondlife.com/beta

Don’t be discouraged if it does not allow you in at this time. It is beta and limited because I believe from talking to Blondin Linden that they have no idea what it will actually do. From my experience this sucker works great and I hope that they run hard with this.
