Five Things You Should Know About the 'Game'

Jane2 McMahon, an awesome Second Life mentor, gave me a great tip on this. Store all of your seasonal items, like Halloween and Christmas decorations, or birthday stuff, in boxes and then put the box into your inventory. Each box is only one object, making a lot less hay for your needle-sorting ventures.

Camera Reset

Now, say you've gotten your camera all screwed up trying to spy on someone through their walls or looking up someone's clothing. First of all *rolled up newspaper smack, yelp* Bad dog! No upskirting! Seriously though, if you've gotten your camera into some position the designers of Resident Evil would be proud of, just tap the Escape key. You'll reset your camera to the over the shoulder position, ready to inappropriately use all over again!

Edit Linked Parts

Finally, if you love your prim hair, except for that one strand that seems to regularly pierce your eyeball, did you know you can edit the linked parts of an object separately? Now, just as a disclaimer, this is one of those things you'll want to be careful with. Make a copy of the object before you make any changes to it, just in case you make a mistake.

To make your changes open the radial menu on the object and choose "Edit," then select "Edit Linked Parts." You can use this to edit a single strand of hair, or a single part of an object that you have modify rights for. As always, though, copy first and be careful.

That's it for this episode! So until next time, remember, it probably is a game... but that doesn't mean the game can't become your life. How's that for dodging the issue!?
