Draxtor Despres takes his Bavarian brand to the streets of America and utilises SL GO from Onlive on his iPad as he shops, skateboards, sits in the woods and relaxes near the beach whilst exploring Second Life on the go.
The video features voice from Torley, who doesn’t quite get the SL GO tagline! However for those who aren’t sure what it should be, here’s the word from the horse’s mouth :
Your World Anywhere.
Introducing SL Go, the best way to experience Second Life in full 3D on mobile devices. No expensive desktop computer needed—just connect and go on your tablet. Experience Second Life’s full visual performance when you’re away from your desktop. And thanks to OnLive’s state of the art data center, rez into your favorite sims faster than you ever thought possible.
SL GO is available for $9.95 (£6.95) a month for unlimited access or $1.00 (£0.70) an hour for pay as you go access. There’s also a seven day trial available. Now you may be wondering why anyone would want to use SL GO to explore Second Life. Drax of course demonstrates one use case, Second Life on a tablet. Another use case of course is older computers that are struggling with Second Life these days.
The seven day free trial should give you a good idea as to whether you think there’s a good use case for you. Another use case of course would be to explore somewhere such as Meauxle Bureaux whilst on the go too, especially now that it has made the Destination Guide!
Meauxle Bureaux
Meauxle Bureaux is the home of the Linden Department of Public Works, a program focused on improvements related to the experience of living in and visiting the Linden Mainland. This intricate build was lovingly crafted by resident experts for all to enjoy, so come see the ultimate in shared creative spaces!
Visit in Second Life
Hurrah! I said this place should be in the Destination Guide, but there’s more.
Meauxle Bureaux may very well be a place where you will be able to find a lesser spotted Linden, especially this week, as we can see from Twitter :
Save the date! Who wants to meet up Friday at 12 PM PST to explore Meauxle Bureaux with us? http://t.co/g5qNTvP2fv http://t.co/l2JDqtnvlb

So there you go, the opportunity to explore a sim has less excuses if you’re out of the house at a certain time but have access to a mobile device, because you could combine the SL GO experience to be there too! Meauxle Bureaux is well worth seeing and of course if you’d rather explore the region from the comfort of your own home, in your own time, on your more powerful computer, you’re free to do that too.
