SLN Reporter Nazz Lane Appears on “The 1st Question,” Pooky Amsterdam Airs “Too Busy” SL Machimia

On Tuesday night at 7 PM SL time on September 8, Second Life Newspaper reporter and writer Nazz Lane appeared as a contestant on “The 1st Question,” a game show aired from within Second Life on treet.tv . He had been invited by host Pooky Amsterdam. Nazz was on the show with Lyr Lobo, Nuala Maracas, and Praxis Carling. Hydra Shaftoe cohosted with Pooky as they quizzed Nazz and the others in front of a packed audience at the show one described as “a cross between lunch with Albert Einstein, and the 1950’s style game show.”

Sorry to say Nazz didn’t win. Maybe next time.

Following the show, Pooky invited the audience to see her new machimia: “I’m Too Busy to Date Your Avatar!” The video was done in response to the popular online music video “Do You Wanna Date My Avatar" by “The Guild." Pooky had finished it some days ago, and word about it quickly spread.

“I saw the ‘Date Your Avatar’ at 398 views,” Pooky told Second Life Newspaper, “and laughed to myself and said, ‘I’m too busy to date. And then the phone call introduction sequence kicked in. The (song) started working with Draxtor (Despres), sent a small song sample, and it really took off from there. He brought in Samuels Dream ... the music was by me, Draxtor, and Samuels Dream.

The video had a number of avatars in it, with Kat2 Kit bringing in some Tiny friends, “Emmo (Wei) and Pet(love Petshop), on the !st Question and Rob(wag Soothesayer) has been with me from the beginning, as has Kat. They are all part of the show.”

So if you’re an SLebrty, or someone else not so famous who’s felt a little overwhelmed by your online life, this song is for you.
