Zut alors! We're taking the 13th episode of our Worldbuilders of Altspace series to the south of France to interview Torchebugne. From the coolest discotheques in the metaverse, to inside active volcanos, and even an interstellar NFT art gallery, Torchebugne combines incredible technical skill with that special j'un sais quio.

For our Worldbuilders of Altspace 12 we are joined by a prolific OG whose multitude of worlds are fan favorites here in Altspace. His love of nostalgia and pop culture ooze through the fabric of the metaverse itself with such classics as a replica of Star Tours from Disneyland in the 80s, his various Star Wars worlds including Mos Eisley Cantina and Jabba’s Palace, his deep cuts with the Neverending Story, and of course his blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean world, we are proud to have Captain Jack Sparrow with us.

We are very excited to have BRCVR's Co-Founder Athena Demos back on the show, this time to talk about the foundational principles of the metaverse at large.

She'll be addressing Matthew Ball’s 7 Attributes of the Metaverse and how they fit with the 10 Principles of Burning Man. You know, just another afternoon discussing the ethical framework with which to create the digital Utopia that we all want the metaverse to be. No big deal.

Check it!

Behold! We give you our 11th Episode in our Worldbuilders of Altspace Series where we showcase the mindbending talents building the metaverse, specifically in AltspaceVR.

This time we will delve into the technical wizardry of Andy. From otherworldly caves, to chill inducing asylums, to his understated yet gorgeous exhibition hall, Andy's got skills to spare.

Join us for this once-in-a-metaverse chance to hear how Andy does what he does.

Snow Crash is a seminal novel that coined the term metaverse, which sort of seems like a hot topic these days?

Written back in 1992 by visionary author Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash follows Hiro Protagonist, who delivers pizza in reality, but in the Metaverse he's a warrior prince.

Plunging headlong into the enigma of a new computer virus that's striking down hackers everywhere, he races along the neon-lit streets on a search-and-destroy mission for the shadowy virtual villain threatening to bring about infocalypse.

If you want to know what Zuck is on about, and you really want to understand where the idea of the metaverse came from, then you gotta join us for this one.

For this episode we cover Source Code. This movie from all the way back in 2011 stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a U.S. Army captain who is sent into a computed simulated reality to find a bomber. We’ll see if the movie’s got what it takes to break our Wow-o-meter.
