DSS Candlier

Silence for two months, then suddenly 4 things land on top of me at once, heres the first.

Appearance

  Its a chandelier of sorts, available in three sizes, in an X with candles on each point, held in a golden candlestick. Then someone gets chained with a limb pointing towards each candle, and a couple more placed carefully upon their back for good measure. The base is rather more worn looking, with the frame appearing to be made of thick metal with rather large rivets.

  The four sizes should allow for people of most heights to fit onto it properly, or to have it fit into most rooms, though the back candles may require some adjusting to sit properly. You can also adjust how high or low you hang from the frame with the Page up and Page down keys. There are no colour options at this time, although it is full mod so you can adjust it somewhat that way. It does have a rather nice feature though, that may make the poor captives feel a little bit dizzy.. Covered further below,


Function

 There's not too much in here. When you first rez the base and touch it, you'll get four buttons, Small, Medium or Large, as well as Help. The first three will rez the Candlier itself below the base, on a length of chain decided by the option chosen. Help will prompt you to open a webpage that is used instead of a notecard manual.

   Once Rezzed, the base will give out 3 new options, keeping Help from the previous menu. Scan will, within a range specified in the settings menu, search for people with an RLV relay, and then give you the option to try and snag one of them. Self Bondage works in a similar way, except instead of searching for someone, it attempts to grab you, providing you have a relay on.

  Settings gives a rather large submenu. The top two rows of options are split between Access, Friction and Range. Selecting the up or down Access option will cycle through Public, Group or Owner options, deciding who can use the menus. Friction relates to the Candliers party piece, and will be covered below. Range adjusts how far the scan option will search for people.

 Below these options you'll find Self Bondage, in which you can adjust the timer at intervals of 10 minutes, an hour or 10 hours. After that, added in the most recent update, is an option to toggle the Start IM RLV restriction, previously on at all times and impossible to disable, so a welcome change. Lastly you have Reset, which will reset in the scripts in the base. This does not derez the Candlier itself, which must be rather deleted or taken when finished with, as it is a separate object.

  When someone is captured, people can click on the base to do one of two things. Release, which is self explanatory, or set a Timer, also self explanatory. This timer works the same as the self bondage one.

  This things party piece isn't in a menu, but in its use of SL physics. Once you or someone else is hanging from it, anyone can click on the chain and move you around, causing you to sway, swing or even spasm wildly through the air depending where and how they move it. The closer to the base, the better control you'll have over how they move. Unfortunately short of a video, I am currently unable to really show how this works.

  Bug wise I only encountered one, when using the medium size of the 1.1.3 version where it literally just fell down, and me with it. The menu of the base changed back to asking you to rez a new one, and no release option or timer was available, forcing me to safeword. This happened twice, and I was unable to recreate it after that. May of just being SL going crazy.

  Additional info

 Not much to put here for this one. Its copy/mod, despite saying no mod. Thats just down to the scripts being locked down, not the object itself. The candles themselves aren't a very good lightsource if you use shadows and are in a sim where the sim builder has sensibly not put everything on full bright like an idiot, so if you use these, make sure to have other lightsources as well.

  The images, in order from top to bottom, the default camera focus, a rear angle, and one in motion, shown as best I can.

 My thoughts

 I quite like it, especially the concept. My Mistress certainly had fun having ti swing around like a tornado with me on it at least. Its not got many options, and may seem a little barebones. There's not much it would need added though.

 You could argue the need to add more RLV options but eh, there's plenty of other gear to add those, and as you should be using cuffs with it anyway, they generally will have the only logical restrictions in them if you wish to enable them.

  You could also say more colour options, which I can't entirely disagree with. Silver and gold doesn't match everyones decor after all, and while you can adjust colour via edit, its not quite the same. Still, at least editing is allowed for it.

  It costs 349 linden, for as many copies as you can fit in your sim.

Sensations - Bondage Table with Cage

Another item from Sensations tonight

Appearance

 So.. Its a cage, with a bondage bench on top, with a hole in it for good measure. Inside the cage is a bowl, and straps are handily available if you want to strap someone down on top. The bowl inside can be hidden as well, or filled with a variety of fluids, from milk and water to.. some less sanitary fluids.

 Poses wise, we have a fair few. Starting with the in cage one, the first "In Cage D/S" has 6, with a 7th been a gender variant. The second has 4,  8 for the third, and then you get solo, which has some repeats, just without the dominant person attached. 15 to be exact.

 The table poses are similarly done, though with more sex based ones. You first have two Chain menus, Sex and D/s. Sex has 11 poses, D/S the same. Belts follows this, 9 for D/S, 10 for Sex, and a belt resizer option in both. Solo Table is below these, and like Cage solo, has repeated poses, but with just the sub, not the domme. 9 poses here.

 Some of the poses are.. interesting. They made my assistant look like a contortionist, or just plain weird. Rather meant for a bigger avi, extreme yoga practitioners, or dislocated bones. Others, like the Tantrum one, has the captive kicking the door, which makes the doors push out a little and the padlock move, and apparently has a good sound effect as well. The animation of the kicking and the door moving sometimes go out of sync though.

 In terms of textures, there's quite a few. 37 for the padding inside and on top, 20 for the cage, metal and wood textures for a change, 8 for the padlock, and 17 for the bowl. Oh and while the captive is in the bowl licking position, someone can go into the menu, and press the lick button to make them drink.

 The included cuffs had an odd attach point on the legs, the anklecuffs were below the ankle ones, and the thigh seemed barely above the knee. They also are no mod.. which makes fitting impossible, which seems redundant, and thus we didn't use them for the pics.

 You can also add your own animations, which is explained in an the help NC. I wont; cover that here.

Function

 First things first, much like her couch before it, this for some reasons pings your relay every time the poses changes, whether you be the sub or domme, which can be a real pest if you are on Ask.

 Now menus.. You first get Help, which has a variety of options. FAQ, Web help, a help NC and a Sensations HUD. Settings has a load of toggable options. Reset, touchable, update, Sensations - this adjusts whether it interacts with sensations plugins like arousal, Up and down.. - this lets you move the poseballs, autosync on sit, lockmesiter - turns the chains on or off, the Timer.. menu, Announce - this shows the current pose info, Public - this adjust access to the settings menu, NOT the device as a whole, and Adjust which does the same as public, except for poseball movement.

 None is the next option on the main menu, which turns off all poseballs, etc and sets it back to doing nothing. Look.. follows, letting you adjust the textures mentioned above. Options lets you turn on Public Use, Sound and "Green text" which is messages to local chat.

 In cage follows this, with access to all of the poses mentioned above, as does On table, the menu that comes after wards. Lock is next, and lets you lock and unlock the padlock, and adjust how hard it is for the sub to pick the lock. Get Cuffs will give you the sadly unmoddable cuffs, so if they don't fit.. Use your own. The table uses upper arm and thigh cuffs, as well as ankle and wrist, so best have a full set.

 RLV is the last menu. Capture comes first, which lets you nab anyone with an open relay, with RLV following as a toggle, and RLV Menu at the end, which toggles public access to this menu as a whole.

 So, after talking with Earalia, we came to the folowing conclusion. If you are the owner of the table, you will retainf ull menu rights, even when the captive. This hasn't occured before, as apparently only dommes have bought it. So the below bolded text still applies..

  If you are a sub, and buy this for your domme to use on you, chances are, it won't work right and leave you with more freedom than it should. If the domme buys it, this issue will not occur. Gifting might be a better idea than outright buying as a sub

 For clarificaiton, its like this. I get captured via the RLV menu, or even sit on it. Someone locks it. I can go into menu, unlock, change pose, change anything I want really. the "None" option dispapears, but thats not really an issue.

 The sub can change some poses while inside the cage, as well as attempt to pick the lock.. This is all second hand from here on, as I had to be told how it works due to the whole not losing menu access thing. this is taken direct from chat.

"It has ACSII style representation of 5 pin/tumblers of a lock
and then a button to attempt, which will try and lock that tumbler down, but if it is wrong you reset the whole thing
you adjust the force number with -- - ++ + buttons from 1 to 100
and speed in the same way but I don't know why
then press jiggle and it will say a high pitched click or a low pitched click
you try and get to the specific number it is looking for, going down from high and up from  low until you feel it set, then attempt
and you have a limited number of jiggles, 50
if you run out of jiggles, you need to reset"


Thoughts

 It seems a nice table, albeit pricey. Quite a few of the poses seemed.. odd though. The person helping me had her body twisted about in ways that in at least one case, seemed unnatural. The constant pinging my relay is also annoying, and an issue that was in the couch as well. 

 While its mostly good, the absolute worst bit for me was the fact that I can't actually be a captive on it. We're not sure why, I tried with more than one relay, but I always retained menu access, couldn't lockpick, could change all poses, regardless of what I was in, etc. This to me was a major issue. I mean, I couldn't even test the lock pick.

The price is 2900

 The S and S thoughts return. First S thought that..

• Lot of poses, but some need work, strange contortions are off putting
• Textures are really good
• Lockpicking is good, better than struggle games, but speed mechanic is hard to understand

Second S thought that..

• ASCII layout was nice for lockpicks
• Feels unfinished, needs to be done better
• Textures are well done!
• Poses amount and variety is good, but some are simply bad and need replaced with improved ones

 

D&B glass cage

  A remake of a very old cage that used to be at the Bondage Playground, pre-RLV tonight, done by Mija Perfferle, who collabed with Dari on the TeasingTUBE.

Appearance

  Its well.. a large glass box, held together with metal supports, with a cutout on two sides showing the letters BP. Appearance wise, it can be adjusted to 70 different colours, which can have various effects added (6 to be exact). Isolation makes it a solid black box.. with the BP still cutout, allowing light and sound in, and letting them see out.. Not very isolated?

  You can also change the colour of the leash holder, or hide it completely. The frame has five colours to choose from. Adjust pos is also there, and can save up to ten different peoples poses inside it. Maybe not so good for a prison like sim with lots of prisoners, but quite nice just to have that option in the first place. You can also add your own poses to it.

  Also you can send Mija a request to get other letters cut out instead, at a possible extra cost

Function

  If you touch an empty cage, two menus appear. Options, and open/close door. In options you can adjust the intial timer, update it, adjust who can access it, change the appearance, reset it, and turn on the trap.

  The trap is simple, someone walks in, cage closes, sub is caught. Dommes can of course abuse this qute easily.

  Once someone is trapped, a third option appears, which is take control. This adds a fair few extra options. Open door reappears, which pauses the timer, but doesn't release the captive, allowing the domme to make some.. personal adjustments. Options is the second button, but already covered.

  Third is timer, which lets you add or remove as low as 1 minute, or as much as 1 day at a time. The next is called AFK test, and I kinda like this. It lets you choose a punishment, then displays an option for the captive, who then needs to press the right button. If she fails, the time is added. Whats more fun? The tease option, which does the same as above.. except doesn't give an option that is correct, so the sub always fails.

  Following this is Release, which does what it says on the tin, followed by the poses menu already covered. Adjust pos is next, also covered above. Last is an RLV folder browser.. than doesn't work if a folder has more than 24 characters.

  The captive themselves can access the adjust pos menu as well, which is handy.

  RLV wise, it enforces no Unsit, no TP, no Map, and no fartouch (1.5 meter and more away)

  For prisons, it has a staff list NC inside that you Can add an avatars UUID to, which will give them access to the menus regardless of setting I believe.

My thoughts

  Its quite a nice idea, and it is well made. Uncertain if it has materials stuff like the TeaseingTUBE Mija worked on previously (no materials in firestorm yet, forgot to ask when speaking to her). Its well made certainly, and has plenty of customising.

  The tease option is fun, but as my helpers pointed out, if you are left alone locked in this cage and its on? Yeah, not nearly as much fun. We also found that after the first few times, it might wear a bit, so should be used sparingly lest it become boring.

  The prices are.. 999 for the trans version, which does not have guaranteed updates for life, and 2499 for the copy version. I'll refrain from commenting on the price myself.

DSS Saddletree

New store tonight

Appearance

 Its a wood post, with a fancy, metallic bump section conveniently located just where a captives crotch would lie. The textures pretty good, and it is mesh, which helps. There's a handy shock wand hanging on the front as well.

 Adjustment wise.. There's nothing. You can't changes its looks via any menu. You can via edit, but that would require custom textures, unless you just want to add shine or recolour it.

Function

 Lets begin. We have three options, Scan, which searches for people to capture, Self bondage, which tries to nab the person that clicks it, and settings. Settings lets you adjust who can access, the range of the scanner, the volume, and the self bondage timer. You can also hit help for access to a web page explaining how to use it (as opposed to an NC).

 Now scan/self bondage are important. You can't sit on this thing, you have to be captured. Which of course means you must have a relay, but those are easy to get. It also only allows one person in its menus at once, not that unusual.

 Once captured, the menus fairly simple. volume controls, release the victim, and timer adjustment. That's all.

 Now then, this things party piece is the shock wand. You click it, hold your mouse down, move to the targeted area, then click again. the wand will zoom up and zap them, right where you click. Anywhere on their body. You can even chain zap with it, if you click fast enough.

My Thoughts

 Its a fun toy, and very good for a first release I'd say. I'd like appearance options, and maybe some RLV options would be a good addition. Its not that the menus lack anything its just that they seem.. Well bare, very few options. Using a web page instead of an NC is fine, but like

I've said with KDC stuff, you do get people who can't be bothered with that. That's of course not the creators fault, but still, and this thing has nothing too difficult to figure out. Though I say that, no doubt many will struggle with the shock wand, but that's just the way people in SL are I suppose.

All in all, a pretty good device, especially for a first one.

[h]arsh - Teasing TUBE

The tube is meant to be in all caps. Anyway! New piece from [H]arsh, uses material viewer stuff as well to make the textures have more depth. Right now I have no idea if Firestorms latest (4.4.2) has materials or not, so I can't compare it with and without.. but regardless.

Appearance

 So.. Its a glass box held up by four legs, with a metallic frame holding it all together. The large opening at the front happily lines up with your captives assets. I think you can tell the intent of this glass cage without much effort!

 In terms of adjustment, you can retexture the metal, as well as adjust how bright it is and its colouring. The glass can also be recoloured, have its shine and glow settings changed, and its transparency. You can set this last one to 0 to leave the captive unable to look out, with only the hole for light.

 It also has six poses, all of which can be adjusted, position wise, separately via the options menu, covered below.

Function

 So lets begin.. When you first access it with no one in, you'll have three menus. Scan, which will look for relays to nab people with. Door, that opens the back pane for people to walk into it, and options. Inside options you can set up an auto trap, which will scan (within the range you set) and nab anyone it can.

 There's also Release time, that's the initial timer, you can adjust it after capturing as well. Set to 0 for normal locking. The next option is scan range, mentioned above.. Then appearance, covered above

 Last two options are Update and access rights, letting you choose between the owner, group or public.

 When someone is inside it, the first option is release... Then you have timer adjust. You can add up to 60 minutes at a time with it, or take away 20 at most. If you set it to 0, it will count as normal lock, and will stay locked till someone releases. The third allows you to remove clothing on all layers, little by little. The fourth option is a fully functioning RLV folder menu, always a nice touch.

 Anims is next, covered above in the appearance section. The options menu allows you to adjust both avatar position, and where those all-important holes are, a very nice feature. Saves resizing the box for different size avis. Each pose has to be done individually, which can be a little annoying. The holes can be moved by a large amount at once, whereas the captive can only be done a tiny notch per press. Whats missing? the option to adjust appearance. Seems to only be doable while unlocked.

 You can also set a secret word here, which is sort of a safeword. If someone enters the word on channel 33, it releases the captive. Anyone can say it. Its a nice failsafe. For those wondering, the device is copy/no mod/no trans. So throw them out all over! Though it says no mod, you can adjust the size axis as you need to.

 Lastly above the front pane of glass is the victims name, while below is how long they have left till freedom.

My thoughts

 Its a Dari product, done in conjunction with Mija Perfferle, so quality is expected, and it is received. Its design is nice, simple to adjust, has plenty of options, and allows for groping. Whats not to like?

 The only issues I have is the pose adjustment, options to adjust by a larger amount per click would be nice, similar to how the holes have two options for smaller or larger adjustment. I also wish I could change the appearance of the box while a captive is within it.

 Also some chains might be nice, forcing the captive against the glass, and naturally putting them in a more vulnerable pose for whomever is doing the teasing! That's not a major thing though.

 All in all? I like it. Its copy as well, which helps.

 Price is 499 linden.

Marines Goodies - Treadmill

Another one from Marine, intended to be reviewed much earlier. ah the joys of RL. This one is Gord inspired as well!

Appearance

  Its a nice little treadmill, and unlike the mousewheel, can be kept in open view without bringing suspicious glares down upon you. It has all five. walks from the mousewheel, plus a new one called Puppy, that has you crawling along on all fours. As you'd expect, all the animations are well done, and of course the actual treadmill itself is well made, right down to its anims.

  Like the mousewheel again, it has ten different colours, plus custom, to allow it to fit any theme you like. Certain poses also set up a frame around it, with a harness to help hold the sub up. Naturally. All of it is well put together.

  One issue - on the latest firestorm you can't use height offset anymore, and the hover option in edit shape is too clunky to adjust on the fly, so if you end up hovering above the tread, or somehow under it, then you can't do much. Marine will likely address this issue as and when we get a definite removal of height offset altogether, as other viewers sitll support it.

Function

  This thing works pretty much identically to the Mousewheel. Hitch and unhitch to force sit/stand, config to change which walk anim, Maintenance to do.. well maintenance, such as updates, adjusting access, etc.

  It also carries the zapper, which works the same. Captor sets up a speed the sub must go at, if they go too slow, then zap.Curiously, also like the mousewheel, you still need to manually walk. I know why you do, but on a treadmill, well those things usually move themselves do they not, forcing you along with them?

  On that subject. It, like the wheel again, can be used to power lights. An army of subs in wheels and on treadmills powering your household is of course possible. Whether they are willing or not is, of course, up to you.

  Lastly it has the distance counter, same as the wheel again, it tracks how far the sub has gone. Combine it with the zapper, and you can force them to go very long distances indeed.

Closing thoughts

 As promised, no scores. Whats the point after all, if people just stare at numbers without actually knowing what the item does?

 I like this, though it is very similar to the mousewheel. By no means a bad thing, and of course, its copy/mod, so you can lay plenty out, and its a good investment for sim owners, or people who have lots of sub friends they want to manipulate into powering their house.

 So.. the good? Simple to use, responsive. looks good, not that expensive
 The bad? If you're on firestorm, floating/sinking issues, if you have someone constantly changing config, then folder spam.
 The.. Neutral? Very similar to mousewheel, down to you if you want both, or one or the other.

Oh, and its 500 linden.

As a minor addon - those boots in the last pic are KDCs new pony boots. They don't have any locking or restraints, so naturally I can't review em, btu they look good, so mentioning them regardless.

Sensations - Couch

Finally got around to doing some sensations pieces. First up is this couch, next up will be another store, then back to Sensations for another piece. Naturally this will take me a week to 2 weeks to do with the way things are right now

Some important info

 There are 3 separate couches here. G rated, Adult and Tentacle.  Each one gets progressively more expensive, but naturally contains more in it. The prices are at the bottom.

I am reviewing the tentacle one here.

Appearance

 This could take awhile. First up we'll go over looks.. The Look menu allows you to adjust the textures of the couch, its cushions and its.. tentacles. More on those later.  For the cushions and couch itself, you have Leather, latex and satin textures. 10 latex, 17 leather and 5 satin to be exact. Tentacle colour wise, there's 11 options.

 Now onto poses. Right away there are 5 menus, each with submenus of their own, packed full of poses. To be exact there are 43 D/S poses, 38 sex, 36 tentacle, 40 romance variants, and 39 relax poses, for a grand total of of 196 poses. Romance work a little differently, with you combining various cuddles and kisses as far as I can tell.

 The Tentacles.. aren't purely the way you may think. Some of them are used purely for bondage without the typical tentacle usage in SL, or in media in general for that matter. For those that think this means they don't have their typical usage, relax, they do.. In spades.

 You also get the option to rez a dance pole, which has 4 different sets in it.

Function 

 Lets see.. Shes packed a ton in here. Normally I do top left to bottom right, but for some reason the menus move around as you go back and forth, so doing a slightly different format than usual for this one. Feedback would be appreciated on this layout

Help menu

 First one, small and simple. You get a help nc, web help button and an FAQ, as well as a sensations HUD.

Settings

 In here we have reset, easy to guess its usage. Touchable allows you to adjust menu access, updates another simple one I really should not need to explain. There's a Sensations toggle, for those using the sensations kit.

 You can adjust the pose balls up and down with the next two options, as well as turn on/off lockmesiter chains with the following one. There's a timer here for making the poseballs vanish which is handy, an an announce button to display info on the current pose. Next is public, which lets anyone access the settings menu, and the last is a toggle for adjusting poseballs.

None

 This puts away all your currently rezzed equipment, such as the dancer pole, tentacles and poseballs. Handy to use this after play to keep prim counts down I'd say.

RLV

 Has three options. Capture, which force sits someone, but you need ot have loaded a pose first for it to work. Next is RLVs toggle, which will trigger peoples Relays. The last option adjusts RLV menu access. Off means no access, half allows those without an active relay to go in, and on allows full access at all times.

Look

 The appearance menu. You'll find the buttons explained more indepth in appearance here

Options

 Public Use is the first option here, toggles allowing everyone or just owners into the Look and Options menus, similar to the one in settings and to some extent RLV. The next option toggles sounds on and off while the third adjusts whether Say commands are shown (object text in local)

 The next two adjust what the tentacles do, or more accurately where they do it. Will leave htis open to your imaginations. Last option lets you adjust the tentacles heights, for more accurate posing.

The pose menus

 The last 5 menus all rez poseballs, and possibly tentacles, dancer poles, etc depending on what you choose. See Appearance for more info on these. There's also Rotate, which appears when some poseballs are rezzed.


My thoughts

 I like this couch, and from speaking with Earalia, the intent was purely for RP, which is great. It has a few issues, such as my relay being triggered every time a pose is changed (I keep my relay on Ask), which makes me think its designed for relays on Auto somehow. I also had issues with the tentacles sometimes disappearing during their animations then popping back in a second later.

I'd also like shiny/latex textures for the tentacles, but that's just for RP sake. Plus I like shiny.

Lastly - its trans/mod/no copy

Scores

Appearance - Plenty of textures to fit most settings, tons of poses (depending on version) and plenty built in.. Just a couple of hitches here and there - 9/10
Function - Bar the odd menus jumping around issue, I have no complaints here - 9/10
Price - PG = 1625 linden, Adult = 2777 and Tentacle = 4925

Marines Goodies - Mouse Wheel

From marines *other* store, we have a very House of Gord like piece

Appearance

Its mesh, so its got a low prim count, 7 to be exact (yes, I do prim counts on furniture now), but that doesn't stop it being very detailed. The wheel has 3 speeds, plus an idle pose. There's 5 walks included. Normal, chained, hobbled, tight (hop) and Pony. Each one has its own anims for each level of speed as well.

It also has 10 built in  colours, with custom options as well.

The Distance Counter is also there, which shows some simple information, more on it below. Similarly there is the zapper. When worn and turned on, cables go to some VERY sensitive areas of the sub, clamped in place naturally. If the sub goes too slow, it mouthy, or the Domme is just feeling evil, they can send a nasty zap through the sub, with anims of course.

There's also 3 full perm lights included in the box, which can be placed near a wheel to be powered by it, more below.

Also to show the smoothness of the animation.. here -Vid

Function

So, to start.. There's some interesting bits.

The menus themselves are simple. The config menu lets you adjust how the person walks (or hops), the Sound menu button turns noises off and on. Maintenance is owner only, and lets you adjust owner, up date (via new version), and reset.

Hitch is force sit, unhitch is unsit, and color is as expected.

The Distance counter has its own menus, and is in someways the most important. Init you can set Goals, be it time, distance or both. It naturally records how far you have travelled, and for how long, and displays it for all to see.

Using the Goals menu, you can set a timer, a distance they must travel, or both, so that they may rest.

The Zapper is cruel. Using it you can give the captive a light or heavy shock.. or set it up so that if they go too slow, they get zapped every time. This one needs to be worn, and the menu is an invisi prim in your stomach. You may need to edit it out a bit for your captor to click it if you have another touch attachment on.

There are also the lights, which are fun and full of RP potential. When you rez one, the wheel nearest it powers it. The faster the wheel goes, the brighter the light is. Clicking the light turns it on or off.

My thoughts

I love the idea behind this thing, and being a Gord fan it appeals even more. It also has HUGE RP potential, with the lights alone..

Saying that we had quite a few anim bugs, with the initial sitting sometimes making our arms go into weird positions, or if we edit while in it, our arm getting stuck up above our head. Nothing major though.

Thanks to Immy (Black rubber doll), Arina (Running in ballet heels with harness gag, and Sarah (Pony) for helping out!


And if its not obvious by the pics, its copy/mod, so you can have an army of poor subs running along powering your house/dungeon/hidden base of evilness

Scores

Appearance - Simple, but lots of little details to make it great - 9/10
Function - Is great, the lights alone, lots of little extras like the lights make it even better - 9/10
Price - 400 Linden

GL fetish - Vacbed

Back to furniture!

Quality

So.. looks. First up, it looks pretty shiny, quite nice. I admit I prefer those vacbeds without tubes in SL (I know, I know, they need them IRL to let us breath but sometimes..), but this one is not too obstructive at least.

You can recolour the base, but the latex stays shiny black, though seems to get a slight tint. Not a bad thing, but other colours might of being nice. It also comes with a load of animations built in. Don;t use these when the vac is off though, they are clearly not meant to be used in tandem with that option.

There's 5 Single anims (One person + victim), all of an intimate nature, and 6 for couples (2 people + victim). All work quite well, providing vac is on of course.

The actual vac animation works, latex slowly gets tighter, revealing the outline of the person. Its pretty well sculpted as well, though a little jagged at some angles.


Function

Lets start with the captors side..

On the bed, at the top and bottom, are two buttons. One for animations and one for RLV. RLV wise, the first 6 options are - Color, Vac on, Vac off, Take Key, RLV and Timer. When you take the key, Vac on/off disappear, and Change Pose appears. Change pose seems to do nothing though, nor can I find mention of it in the NC.

Color is self explanatory, as is Vac on and off. Take key is as well.. Then we get RLV. RLV with no one in the bed lets you turn on or off autolock, as well as attempt to capture someone if they have an active relay.

Once someone is in, you can choose to lock it, then from there you get some of the more expected RLV options, specifically, local chat Listen, Inventory/building, location, IM blocking and chat. You can also strip off someones clothes and attachments. (why you;d need to is beyond me.. they're encased in shiny black rubber and all). There's Unsit as well.

lastly we have timer. You can set it to turn on automatically when someone gets captured, adjust who can access it, show or hide it, and of course start or stop it.

The Anim menu.. You have Couple, Single, STOP and OPTIONS. Couple and single are simple, go in, click the anim you want, sit on the ball, and you're done. STOP turns the anim off.

Options lets you adjust who can use the poseballs and menus, adjust the pose, shutdown the bed, turn chat info on or off as well as save or dump props.. Not sure what the props are though, unless it means the poseballs again.

The victim has no access to the RLV menu, but CAN access the anim menu.

Scores

Quality - looks good, though lack of colours and some jaggies shows its age - 7/10
Function - Does what it needs to, no more, no less - 8/10
Price - 599 Linden. Pretty reasonable I think. No copy/mod though.

Other stuff


There's a male version of this bed as well, though for some reason its 100 linden more. This is quite an old one now, before his vaccube which I did ages ago as well.

Smooching Serpents Caged Fetish

This is a new bed just recently created by Eve Light of Smooching serpents Its pretty.. big.

Quality

First up the bed seems to be made of latex, a plus right off the bat.  It also has a built in vacbed however.. All but two of the vacbed settings have a gasmask latched on, that cannot be removed by any means bar the two poses mentioned before. From the people I've shown it to and my own opinion, this is kinda not good. An option to remove would be amazing.

It also has 11 different colours for the bed frame, a stand off to the side of the bed with a selection of some "toys". It has a large selection of poses, with several for solo (separated into boy and girl menus) and a half ton of couples ones, and even a selection for a party of three. Been a bed, and this been SL, most of the poses are sex based of course.

In the couples menu, certain other props become available, including a Throne, a Cross, pillory, bench and a throne, pretty much a complete dungeon.

It also has Ambiance, which well.. Lets say it needs some work for people on the highest settings, especially for the HotWinter option (See the bright white picture).

The Good - Customisable, lots of poses, latex
The bad - Unremovable Gasmask, ambiance on high settings is glaring

Function

As always, top left to bottom right. Very First option is "START" Hitting this pulls the sheet off the bed, resses the stand with the toys to the side and as it suggests, gets everything started. Two poseballs also rez next to the stand, from which you can click the toys to receive a copy to use.

The next option is ".VACUUM", in here you of course access the Vacbed. You can select one of 6 poses for solo, as well as adjust the breath coming out of that gasmask. Couples has another 6, alongside the breath ones.

Following this is "SOLO", in here you can choose from the poses mentioned earlier. After that is "COUPLES". In this menu you can find the most poses overall, as well as the bondage furniture such as the Cross and Throne. Then there is "3 SOME", which is more limited unfortunately.. Then we come to "RLV". In here you can capture up to 3 victims, as well as get a relay out of it, and of course a help NC.

Next up is "CAGE", which of course has a few RLV restrictions of its own, including no touch. The cage is actually separate to the bed, with its own menus. You can of course open and close the door, have the cage go away and adjust who can access the cage (Owner, group, public).

Then we have the sadly high graphic unfriendly "Ambiance", followed by "*DESIGN", both of which I covered earlier. Then we have "*STOP", which puts the bed back to its default state, puts away all the props and I believe unlocks anyone on it.

Lastly there is Options. In here we have "ResetChains" which does as the name suggests, resetting the chains going from a victims cuffs to the bed. Hitting "BallUsers" changes who can use the poseballs, specifically between ALL and GROUP. "MenuUsers" does the same, only it also includes an OWNER only option. You can adjust the, dump and save the position of some of the poseballs I believe with the next three options, then adjust the Height with the next. You can also Dump and/or Save the beds props (such as the toy stand I think) with the next two options.

Lastly you can turn Chat info on or off and Shut down the bed. Shut down brings you to another menu that lets you Reset the positions and menus, Restart the bed and also check the config card. Otherwise you can just hit the shut down option within this menu which turns all the scripts and such off. You can turn it back on by touching it again.

Other Info

Its copyable , No mod or trans.


Scores

Quality - 7/10, would be higher but.. For the price most would pay for this, letting us remove the gasmask is not much to ask
Function - 8/10, Can't complaint much, letting 3 people on the extra furniture might be nice.

Price

5999 linden. High? Low? That's down to you.
