PlayStation Home And Second Life: Worlds Apart
Ever since PlayStation Home was first announced in January 2007, people have been calling it Second Life for the PlayStation 3. We take a look at what separates these two very different virtual worlds. More »

CNN Enters Second Life
Eventually there will more companies in Second Life than their are in real life. Now CNN is setting up an I-Report hub in the virtual world, in a double-effort to learn about life in a computer-created environment while discovering what constitutes news in such a foreign environment."The thing we most hope to gain by having a CNN presence in Second Life is to learn about virtual worlds and understand what news is most interesting and valuable to their residents," said Susan Grant, executive vice president of CNN News Services.
See? Exactly what I said. The I-Report hub will allow Second Life users to submit their own news stories and includes both a news desk and an amphitheater for bigger events, such as appearances by RL CNN anchors. They're holding a training session tomorrow at 5 eastern for budding VR reporters. If you're interested, be prepared to see things you can't unsee. More »

Second Life, IBM Want Open Source Avatars
Avatars are important, but confining. One avatar in one game won't necessary be usable in another. IBM and Second Life developer Linden Labs have joined forces to figure out a way to make avatars interoperable. An open avatar would allow individuals to keep their same basic appearance and data. Says IBM vice president of digital convergence, Colin Parris: More »

Coin-Collecting Akiba Idols in Furry MMO
Nope, that isn't a homeless cheerleader squad accepting donations. Well, they are accepting denotations, but they're not homeless. That's idol group Chu!Lips (a Japanese pun on "kiss" and "tulip") collecting pocket change for the World Wildlife Fund. Why would Akihabara pop idols be doing that? Well! The troop is appearing in MMO Holy Beast Online, a Taiwanese developed game that lets players switch back and forth between human and animal form. The game has even teamed up with WWF Japan. Hardcore! So yes, these girls aren't only lending their likeness to furry MMO, but doing their part to help wildlife. They must really, really like animals. Just as long as they don't like animals.

Earth Eternal Races Rendered
When they aren't busy writing a back story long enough to rival War and Peace, the folks at Iron Realms Entertainment like to do themselves a little game building, and to that effect they've unveiled character models for all 16 of the MMO's anthropomorphic animal races in both male and female forms. Hit the gallery below and then use the comments section to discuss the historical use of animals in fiction to represent human struggle and conflict, the similarities between animal behavior and today's society, and which one you think is the sexiest.

Bloody Roar Future Looking Bleak
Pity the Bloody Roar fan(s), for it appears that the next game in the fighting series popular with furries won't be appearing for a long time. In an interview with Hudson Entertainment's John Lee, when asked about a trio of Hudson's more popular franchises—Bloody Roar, Adventure Island and Dungeon Explorer—the marketing maven was honest and open about their respective futures.

Voice Comes to Second Life
If you wander into Waterhead, a popular gathering spot for completely insane people in Second Life, you are generally greeted by a barrage of annoying sound clips, dancing, flying sperm cells, and sometimes even gunfire, but this morning it was eerily quiet. There were people there, but they were just standing still, like zombies. Voice chat has hit Second Life, and in one of the few places the new feature seems active the populace has come to a standstill. It's even creepier than normal. More »

Clip: Earth Eternal Character Concepts
Earth Eternal is more than just a vehicle for furry concept art, and they've just released their first video to prove it. Mind you it's just a character concept demo filmed in a barren area with shadows turned off, but it's enough to give you a general idea of the style they're going for. More »

Second Life Claims Another Victim
Several times over the past six months I've taken the opportunity to make fun of Second Life, mainly for the fact that the first several times I tried it I kept losing my money accidentally to strippers. While the sex is still there...my god is the sex still there *shudders*...I tried out the life sim sensation one last time, and discovered that Second Life isn't just a den of temptation and debauchery. Second Life has the power to make us into what we fear the most. More » -

Earth Eternal Menagerie Grows
I don't know why I can't stop talking about this damn Earth Eternal game. Maybe it's the bizarre hopping mushroom thing in the top left of their webpage, or perhaps I am a closet furry, simply lying dormant until the technology to bioengineer me into a bunny person is developed. Whatever the case, the results are in for their Pick-A-Beast contest, and they're decidedly unsexy. More »

Earth Eternal's Pick A Beast Contest
Remember Earth Eternal, the new MMO coming from Iron Realms featuringfurriesanthropomorphic animals as player characters? Well they want you to help design the fourteenth and final player race! In their 'Pick a Beast' contest, gamers choose a mammal or bird appropriate to Europe or North Africa, suggest a name for the species, and then tell them in 100 words or less how the beast fits into their world. Physical characteristics and roleplaying qualities are requested. Mating behavior not so much. More »

Carmack On NASA's Proposed MMO
As far as geek gods go, John Carmack is right up there. Not only has he programmed games like DOOM and Quake, but he's also into engineering rockets. Real rockets. So when NASA announced that it will be developing a 3 million dollar MMO for the youth, game site GigaGamez sent Carmack an email. His response? More » -

Link Wolf Furry Horror!
While I don't normally make a habit of trolling the fursuit LiveJournal group, it seems I'll have to make a point to do so in the future. Not that I lean toward furry fetishism, mind you, it's just that in my quest to inflict mental pain on the Kotaku readership, a plushy costume designed on Link's wolf-form from The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess is just what the internal sadist ordered.

Gallery: Earth Eternal's Furries
Is this concept art for an upcoming MMO from Iron Realms Entertainment, or someone's VCL gallery? Judging by the fact that none of them seem to have obvious exaggerated genitalia, I'm going to have to go with concept art here. Earth Eternal is a 3D MMO from a company known for its text-based MUDs. It features a rather intriguing alternate Earth setting, and anthropomorphic animals as player characters. In the FAQ the devs explain that they aren't furries, and the game doesn't embrace furry themes, though they can't be sure because as they said, they aren't furries. Riiiiight. More »

Sephiroth, Riku Get Down, Gay in Sims 2
Sephiroth and Riku get gay in the Sims 2. What is it with Squeenix fans anyway? Half of them seem to think they've been beamed straight from a homoerotic, bobble-headed universe where Riku and Donald Duck share a special, furry bond.
