In fact, it's so handy, I will grab it and post it as an Update to the original post (as I don't like to see useful stuff languishing in "Comments", where it may never get read).Timbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04943524641618211239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151616810519208803.post-25187968026984215292008-04-01T08:37:00.000+00:002008-04-01T08:37:00.000+00:00Hi Aleister - thanks for the crit. The house numbe...Hi Aleister - thanks for the crit. The house numbered '21' is modelled on his real-life abode in Sheffield (though his real house has a full compliment of walls). There's a few features it sounds like you missed like the hidden dungeon where you can recreate the cover of 'Lady's Bridge' with your avatar in place of Richard, or the radio which plays Richard's favourite audio streams, or the sink where you can do his washing up, or the Sheffield Wednesday trike which will take you on a hair raising ride to the beach. The guitar too comes with Richard's motion captured hand movements so you play the guitar just like Richard (should you want to of course). But the sim isn't just about the permanent features. Sometimes Richard plays an impromptu gig on the beach (live audio streaming), again with motion captured movements, and during his recent tour we hid 20 golden tickets around the island so that you could go and see him for real.In the near future we'll be giving visitors the chance to download a Second Life only mp3 release, so its worth a return visit. Oh and just for the record it was developed BY Corporation Pop (CoPop) not ON BEHALF of them.

I didn't mention the Tesco bags and other detritus.<BR/><BR/>I agree, from interviews etc, he seems a jolly decent cove - but I still don't like his music much.Timbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04943524641618211239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151616810519208803.post-83022836062244765412008-03-31T21:21:00.000+00:002008-03-31T21:21:00.000+00:00Hahah, hahah!

"Sheffax."<BR/><BR/>I too fail to be especially enthused by Mr. Hawley's music, but from the many interviews I've seen and heard (I like Jools Holland and live off Radio 2), he seems a very decent fellow. I read your post with an unreserved smile, as it looks pretty nifty. With this and Regina Spektor's attic before it, I'm getting a little bit chuffed at what some musicians are doing. It's nice.Vidal Tripsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349850078894081190noreply@blogger.com
