As part of its virtual world developer outreach program, AMD & Metaversatility are hosting a scavenger hunt in Second Life! Visitors to AMD Dev Central Island will discover a number of randomly placed quiz kiosks. These interactive kiosks will challenge users on their knowledge of cutting-edge technology, such as AMD Fusion™, ATI Stream, OpenCL™, and more. As you progress through the experience, discovering and interacting with 10 different kiosks along the way, you will be eligible for exclusive and custom-developed in-world prizes. After completing all of the 10 treasure hunt quiz questions, USA and Canada (excluding Quebec) participants will be eligible to enter to win the grand prize, an AMD processor-based system. (See contest rules for details and restrictions).

AMD has always fostered a strong interest in virtual worlds and hard-core gaming, and it has had a Second Life presence for over three years now. We have designed the treasure hunt event to make it easy to learn more about AMD’s developer resources, and most of the challenge answers can be found on our web site, AMD Developer Central. Our site is a free portal full of tools, information, and resources, all focused on growing our software developer community. We're excited to continue to blend and merge our real-world presence with our virtual world presence, so we welcome you to come visit our island and start playing, today!

Unearthed this old video piece we made for Orange's Machinima Week a while back. The song we composed for it actually bears an uncanny resemblence to a track off the newest Beach House album... funny business or collective pool of creativity?! You be the judge.
