From this YouTube Machinima, the latest entry in the MUVE arena appears to be more about “singing songs, going to bars and watching movies” than education. But our comely host “Christina” starts in an orientation space nearly identical to the Linden Lab spot, including a walk downhill with rustic wooden signs.

See the HipiHi website (via machine-translation) and the dismissive Second Life Insider post from Feb 2.

Salacious tidbit - HipiHi’s senior managers hale from Wuhan - home city to Anshe Chung studios. Chung’s Guni Graef told me in November that AC Studios was hiring heavily from local multimedia design schools and had upped its staff to over 30! He sold a 10% stake to a German publisher two weeks ago.

Pure Gossip - Where could that capital be headed? It may not be coincidental that the HipiHi video is narrated in the first person by a young female character….
