aDen Ennui sent me an IM about his Myst replicas in Second Life being noted on Robyn Miller's blog! Beautiful. Now that I have a few moments, I might as well get some words in about hero worship—orthogonally! *scribbles in the comments*
aDen's own page, with YUGE images, is right here.
And to lend some context to the background, I came across aDen one day in the sandbox constructing what I recognized to be… THAT ROCKETSHIP FROM MYST! WITH THAT DAMN MUSICAL PUZZLE THAT WAS UNFAIR TO NON-MUSICIANS (I solved it in a cinch). Needless to say, aDen soon sent me on my way with a copy of a linking tome, and it warmed me so; I did ask him if he was gonna make that puzzle, but some weeks after, he informed me he wanted to get approval.
Robyn Miller is now aware of aDen's recreations. And yet another miracle in the world happens, babies are born et al! BTW, Robyn blogs about creating community in SL. I've just jotted down my angular view—keeping in mind I have been more of a nomad than a homesteader during my SL tenure.
Oy.
