I want to thank everyone for their support regarding my recent ban from Second Life. I still have not heard any reason from Linden Lab as to why I was banned, but the support from many members of the Combat: Samurai Island community has been very heartwarming and appreciated.

I rezzed several objects yesterday (a vendor, some weapons, etc.), and wasn’t able to even see them until today. Even now, they are [...]
KTG KATANA "HAKUOU" Check out this fantastic product video for the "HAKUOU" katana: I purchased one of these myself recently, and I have to admit I’m kind of jealous, because it’s every bit as cool as the video suggests. The build quality is excellent, and looks very much like a real katana. I’m a little [...]
