Upland Down Under

On this week’s show, Bitcoin and the crypto global market cap is on the rise again, we tackle a juxtaposition on crypto's future, delve into Upland's 'Share and Build' Airdrop campaign, and explore the revolutionary use of the metaverse in Pakistani education and the US manufacturing sector. We also take a look into AI's evolving ability to recognize emotions and its expanding influence on society, cover India's innovative use of NFTs and delve into the fusion of gaming and Web3 for mass adoption, highlighted by the release of the mobile Web3 MOBA game Buddy Arena. Plus, as always, we ground ourselves with some real-world insights with a few doses of reality from the Meatsuitaverse.

On tonight’s show, we catch up on the Upland market floors, check in on the Neighborhood Ratings for March, we had the South Lake Tahoe collection reveal, celebrate the apparent success of the new in-game chat system, there’s an upcoming community meetup in Paris, and the biggest news to date through the week was of course Upland's inaugural movie premiere. The main topic for tonight’s show is the upcoming 'Share and Build' airdrop drive for Sparklet, and as part of that, I’ll be outlining a special BREAKING NEWS video all about it that will go live early tomorrow morning AEST. We’ve also got a couple of QIPS about seasons and maybe I need to rename this segment QIRPS i.e. Questions Insights Rants Provocations and Statements, because this week we’ve got a rant about city releases to digest. And of course, we’ll take a look at another Upland community member Spotlight care of the Dynamic Node Builders team. All that and more on this the Upland Down Under Podcast!

On this week’s show, despite widespread crypto market retraction we'll explore Solana's impressive surge amidst memecoin mania, dive into Upland's innovative 'Share and Build' airdrop, and celebrate Paris Hilton's metaverse generating $60M in media adverts. In the realm of AI, we'll look at Apple's negotiations with Google, transformative blockchain AI in healthcare, and the future shaped by AI and blockchain convergence. We'll also examine the end of Starbucks' NFT program and the impact of Bitcoin halving on Web3 gaming. Plus, as always, we ground ourselves with some real-world insights with a few doses of reality from the Meatsuitaverse.

In this episode, it was great to catch up with Skoobie, who is someone I’ve known and been involved with in the Upland Metaverse community for a very long time. Skoobie has been heavily engaged as an Upland community member and Upland community creator and is returning to aspects of that after taking about a year away from the platform recently to focus on other things. I last recorded with Skoobie way back in August 2022 and the majority of our chat today was focused on discussing some of the many events and eventualities that have happened in and around Upland since then. There were a few connection glitches here and there through the chat, but that does clear up so stick with it because Skoobie never pulls any punches and always tells it like it is, which is something I’ve always enjoyed and appreciated. Personally, I hope Upland makes good on the community Café metaventure opportunities in development and that Skoobie might return to regular broadcasting sometime soon in ‘The Metaverse and Beyond!’.

On tonight’s show, we catch up on the Upland market floors, check in on the Neighborhood Ratings for March (kinda), the final FROST Seasonal Pass rewards drop, St. Patrick's Day sales and events, Exhibitor application for Genesis Week, there’s a new in-game General Chat, the imminent South Lake Tahoe Collection reveal, and OOOH BOY… The Upland interns have done it again, with the shenanigans associated with the recent Travel Bundle sales. The main topic for tonight show is ‘WARNING!!!’, I believe the recent and sudden locking of cars to locations is a fair heads-up for more community teeth-sucking to come. Are you ready? We’ve also got 3 QIPS about varying features of map assets, and of course we’ll take a look at another Upland community member Spotlight care of the Dynamic Node Builders team. I also gave away 30,000UPX, a Samurai Aquatics Map Asset, and one lucky participant from last week’s show won a Gardening themed set of map assets care of Lilli_Field and her Lillibud Design Group metaventure. All that and more on this week's Upland Down Under Podcast! L8R.

On this week’s show, we’ve got a soaring cryptocurrency market cap, a Bitcoin all time high and a crypto ETF race between Hong Kong and the USA. We're looking into taking a drive through the Upland metaverse with their latest travel bundles, and cruising with Busta Rhymes as he brings hip-hop to the metaverse. The AI arena is heating up with the US and China's war for supremacy, while Sony gears up its gaming arsenal with 'Super-Fungible Tokens’, and Ubisoft stakes its claim in Web3 gaming. Plus, as always, we ground ourselves with some real-world insights with a few doses of reality from the Meatsuitaverse.

On tonight’s show, we catch up on the Upland market floors, check in on the Neighborhood Ratings for March and the Upland Racing Series Leaderboards. We’ve had another Seasonal Pass rewards drop, and not to mention that the long-awaited private transportation feature has finally arrived although not without some interesting twists and turns. Monthly Spark Weeks have been replaced by Spark Weekends, there’s the big Genesis Week 2024 announcement to investigate, and “WHOOPSIE!” the Upland interns have fat-fingered the big red button again and apparently completely ballsed up the recent stealth expansion of Trenton, setting Upland general into meltdown last night. The main topic for tonight's show is of course ‘Upland Lampoon’s Vacation – ROAD TRIP!’, steering head-on into the details of Upland's first-ever car transportation-only city release of South Tahoe. We’ve also got a QIPS about Seasonal Pass Rewards, and of course, we’ll take a look at another Upland community member Spotlight care of the Dynamic Node Builders team. I also gave away 20,000UPX, a Samurai Aquatics Map Asset, and outlined how you can go in the running to win a Gardening themed set of map assets care of the sponsor of this week’s show Lilli_Field and her Lillibud Design Group metaventure. All that and more on this week's Upland Down Under Podcast! L8R.

On tonight’s show, we caught up on the Upland market floors, checked in on the Neighborhood Ratings for February one last time, Upland's Official Racing Series has kicked off, and we’ve had the Frost Season Pass Week Four drops come through. The main topic for tonight's show was ‘The ice-cold frosty flop’, unpacking the potential what and why of Upland's first-ever exclusive ornament shop owner's sale failing so spectacularly. I also had a Metaverse Spotlight on details surrounding reaching my goals for aggressively downsizing my account, without destroying it. But wait, that’s not all! We had a QIPS about the current map assets market, and another about Vehicle transportation. And of course we took a look at another Upland community member Spotlight care of the Dynamic Node Builders team, and I gave away 30,000UPX, a Samurai Aquatics Map Asset, and four awesome Rustic Well map assets from the sponsor of tonight’s show, Kushal089 and his metaventure Rustic Arts at 7754 Jellico Avenue, in Los Angeles.  All that and more on this week's Upland Down Under Podcast!
