Think Kink - Rack’d

Deirdre:

If you have a bicycle or a slave to chain up securely while you go have a coffee in town, Think Kink has just the toy for you.

This is Rack’d, a fun and detailed bondage toy perfect for urban setting sims.

The textures are really fun and varied, going from battleship plate to rusted metal. All five rack versions are included in the box.

Instead of including a help notecard in the box that can go stale like an old cookie, the menu has a Get option that lets you receive a fresh new (long!) one.

Another great toy in the line of Think Kink products. Ilana assures me the scripts are as light as they can get, peanuts for a bondage toy. I’m glad that’s a big preoccupation of hers.

Now I think it would be absolutely hilarious to get a really good SL bicycle and lock it next to a slave and leave it there. If you don’t feel objectified in that position, I don’t know what’ll do it ;)

lelo:
Guess who got chained to a bike rack to write the post for you, really the things we do for you... *smiles*

This is Rack’d by the girls from think kink which comes in 5 versions, we went for the “classic” subs & bikes only, but there is also a official use only, long term parking, free parking and rusting free parking.

The signs are available as a template so you can make your own personalized version yourself, hmm how would “lelo parking only” sound?

The scripting is as we know from Think Kink, light and easy to use with all the options you would ever expect from a bike rack.. in Second Life.

Among those the still amazing PerfectPose system, so you only have to adjust your position on the rack once.

Ohh, one final word of warning, sub or bikes are not included in the kit. *winks*

Think Kink Lifestyles - yet more changes!

I’ve said it before, change is bad and change hurts... well, not for everyone.

Ilana and the Think Kink girls would give a chameleon motion sickness, I think.

The store itself moved a bit - some 50 meters - and was completely revamped. Note the cool new look and neat little mall around the main area.

If you cam under the floors you’ll see a bunch of dungeons.. the teleporters to reach them are near the landing zone. To get out? You may have to beg ;)

Have a great weekend!

Think Kink And Dark Elf Magic - Colorable Panel Gag

Deirdre:

We swung by Think Kink, and by chance, both lelo and I noticed the bright pink gag poster on the wall.

It turned out to be new - although I won’t claim a magic database mind that whirred and instantly spotted the new item or anything. “New” vendor tags have been suggested ;)

The Colorable Panel Gag is a cooperation between Think Kink and Dark Elf Magic, and a bunch of good RLV features interact with TK toys (if you’re forbidden from talking on one, say).

The design is clean, and the thick straps, rivets, O rings and buckles make it look pretty solid.

It’s simple, there’s not a bit of mesh on it, and it still looks quite good.

One day everything will be mesh with materials and specular what-have-you’s, but in the meantime, this is a fine little toy. Pick one up for the bondage doll in your life :)

lelo:
Toy time tonight, a lovely new gag from Think Kink, the look and scripting is loosely based on the good old Dari’s Haus gag.

But this gag has been improved on a couple of points, starting with the look, the gag sports 178 prims, making it look very realistic.

But as usual with the work of Nihal and Chloe the real work went into the scripting, which has been streamlined to lighten the server load.

You will find all the RLV gag goodies you would want, from the intensity of the garble, the replacement of the wearers name in chat to the owner settings.

One of the more unusual, but in my opinion fun, options is the “Wait for IM” setting, which only blocks your IM untill you are spoken too. Now that’s how it should be in a D/s relationship.

And we’ll close off with the fashionable bit, yes fashion will always be part of our work, the gag is colorable, there are 25 colors you can select and all parts of the gag can be colors at once or one by one.

So a great new twist on an old favorite, go get it and be quiet... *winks*

Moving Friday

It’s moving Friday in the SL fetish community, if you feel like generalizing from two points - hey, the media do it all the time, but I’m upfront with my data, at least ;)

Think Kink moves to Pirandello Bay, as we hinted two weeks back - but that’s not all.

Serjourn Daxter, our friend and the prime mover behind Freedom Continent, joins the Think Kink and takes over management, marketing, and all non technical aspects, freeing the girls to focus on creating the high tech naughty toys we love.

Dark Elf Manufacturing officially merges with Think Kink, too. They’ve been sharing space forever, this makes things official. Congratulations on all the cool improvements, TK!

The other big move is Latex Station, who changed servers to resolve some issues. The store keeps the same lovely new look (bye bye space station!) and will be finished tomorrow but I got Cindy’s permission to tell you now ;)

Have a great weekend!

Tish Celt Free Pony Gear

Lelo caught this notice in the SL Ponygirls Club this week :

Tish Celt's pony boots, carts and pony tails are now available for free at a vendor stall at the FFF Tack Shop. Use the landmark below to get there or walk west into Oraenji from FFF

The SLURL: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Oraenji/234/112/84

---

And I was sitting there when suddenly :

a small bird flitters in the room (or is that a bat? whatever) and lands on your shoulder, pecks your ear and whispers "something strange is happening over in Pirandello Bay" and then flutters off and will deny ever saying a word about anything.

The SLURL: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Pirandello%20Bay/128/98/21

Identity of the small bird hidden to protect our sources, or as Bart Simpson used to say “I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove a thing.” ;)

Have a great weekend,

Think Kink - PetCrate and 12 days of Kinkmas

Deirdre:

Introducing PetCrate by Think Kink, a further development on the PetPod we showed you in July.

Lelo will tell you more about it while I mention the crazy sale the TK ladies thought up: the Twelve Days of Kinkmas!

Starting tomorrow (December 12th) at noon SL time, one item from Think Kink will go on sale, at a price as low as 29L$ (but it’ll vary), for 24 hours only.

Then it’s gone (that vendor goes offline!), and the next one goes on sale - so you don’t want to blink.

We don’t even know what will be going on sale ourselves; they’re treating it like Christmas presents, you’ll have to go see to find out.

lelo:
So seems not everyone likes to keep their pets in a nice easy to clean travelpod, so the girls at Think Kink came up with this one.

The PetCrate offers everything the PetPod offered except in a more harsh style. There is a selection of 9 styles for the cage and 8 for the wire.

And yes a few are very rusty, so it should fit in with your local back alley. *winks*

But the big news is the fact that the new cage is mesh and that means a big prim saving, the original was 216 prims, this one will only cost you 11 prims.

The crate is copy but no trans or mod, so you can easily build your own pet shelter with these, if you are in need of a bigger cage, can’t imagine the pet you would want to keep in it, you can request a bigger one from the girls.

Think Kink PetWorks - PetPod

Deirdre:

You know how we love “hot off the press” items. Well Ilana just called me and said “this went on sale five minutes ago”. That’s going to be hard to top ;)

Introducing PetPod, and the related-but-not-included PetitePod, for carrying your petite avatar-slaves around.

The carrier itself looks darn authentic; I live near a vet clinic, and I see quite a few in use. It’s big enough for lelo, even with her fluffy Hybridz rubber skunk tail.

The sounds are very good - Ilana pointed them out and I played them : open door, snap padlock, pet scratching at the door. Fun!

The scripting is Think Kink’s usual excellent quality. The pod is compatible with Xcite! and Sensations, has RLV, timers, sings, dances and makes coffee ;)

Drop by the (new, improved, good-looking, low-lag!) Think Kink store and have a look.

lelo:
Ok, just about a month ago we told you about the reorganisation at Think Kink and here is the first new product.

As with all Think Kink products you get the easy to use PerfectPose system, so you just have to adjust your pose in the carrier once.

The poses are very good, especially the panic and sleep anim’s are fun and show an eye for detail.

There is quite a choice of colors for the PetPod: baby blue, baby pink, banana, beige, grape, grey, lime , melon and orange, the baby pink matches my outfit almost perfectly, but the beige looks the most realistic.

Only thing missing is the option to carry your pet around in the pod, though using edit to push it around does work.

Changes At Think Kink

Ilana of Think Kink sent us a notecard recently, mentioning serious changes coming up for TK. I could paraphrase and sum up but I think I’ll chop and try to pass on the important bits :

First : “We're not leaving, we're not quitting, we're not closing up shop.”

But : “That hideous thing called 'reality' has reared its head for Lyssa and myself. Our time is becoming seriously limited and will be for a while.”

“But we can't leave here. We can't leave the people we've come to know, love, admire, respect and plain old think are just such damn neat folks.”

“We will soon have all our products in the copy/no transfer format, our goal is to have that done by May 15th”

This is huge. Toys are not usually sold with copy perms. It’s a great deal for anyone who has more than one place to furnish.

“On June 1st, Think Kink will be closed for a few days, while we redo the store. We will be downsizing the store to about 1/4-1/3 of it's existing size”

We’ve seen the new look, and it’s pretty awesome. No, I can't show you ;)

“Then, TK will be doing more 'artisan style' releases of our devices. More detail, more care. You may only see one every two or three weeks...”


“But most of all, we're going to be taking care of our responsibilities in 'Real Life' ... We have three of the most responsible, reliable, capable people we could ever think of having watching over things.. Tahni Tarantal, Chloe1982.Constantine, and Nihal Quan.”

And as ever, we'll keep you posted :)

Think Kink - Ghoulslight and Changes at TK

Deirdre:
Ilana gave me a call yesterday, with some big news about Think Kink : perms on all the TK toys are being switched from no copy + trans to copy + no trans.

Why is this big? Seems many dungeon toys are sold no copy + trans. If you have more than one dungeon, you buy the item multiple times.

To compensate this, copyable items are typically more expensive. This is not going to be the case at Think Kink, I hasten to add. Some pieces are even being reduced to 99L$ and joining a new “value” line.

Switching perms around gives everyone the option to have one toy at the dungeon and a copy at home. And at work. And at the country house. At the beach... ;)

It also protects you from loss : my gorgeous Motor Loon bike frequently vanishes in sim crossings, for example. It usually returns, but not always. As it’s copy + no trans, I don’t have a heart attack when this happens.

New improved low-lag vendors should give you another reason to visit the store ;)

lelo:
Yes, it is as uncomfortable as it looks, really it is. *rubs her sore butt*

As with most Think Kink toys, you get the Perfect Pose system to give you that perfect fit every time.

Old favorites like the Graboid!, arousal control, access control and timers are also available through the easy menu.

The get button gives you a choice of the help notes, a whip, paddle, dildo, cuffs and the Think Kink RLV relay.

The candles are a nice touch, though they could have gotten better candles that don’t drip as much. i’m glad that wax comes off latex pretty easily. *winks*

And i left the best for last, it’s a free giveaway in the running Supernatural Hunt, so go and follow the leads, it will last till the end of the month.

Think Kink - Xaminator

Deirdre
We hadn’t heard from Think Kink in a while... some silences are ominous ;)

The evil minds (and evil little hands!) have been busy : the Xaminator here is just the first of a series of devices that will be coming soon, with entertaining names like Humiliator, Flytrap, and a number of others.

This entertaining toy, then, is not just cool-looking. It contains the latest version of the TK scripts, improved, lightened, and all the great taste with just half the calories.

In particular, one new feature bondage bunnies everywhere have apparently been clamoring for is the timer. In typical TK fashion, they made the coolest looking one around - no stupid floating text here.

What else? The usual PerfectPose (for TK - you need to look around a fair piece to find those features on other toys) adjustment to the avatar size system.

RLV enthusiasts should avoid (or come stand in reach of) the Graboid, whose pedigree is described in the card and which I won’t spoil ;)

Since this device isn’t all black shiny metal, there’s a nice set of colors you can set it to aside from the default red shown here. Even the metal can be changed - I like the silver and medical green combo.

Drop by Think Kink, and give the Xaminator a spin.. it’s the first thing inside the door. Have fun ;)

lelo
Boohoo a new toy from the girls at Think Kink, ohh wait that’s just the expression the toy puts on my face, doesn’t quite match my RL expression right now. *winks*

It takes a bit of work to adjust the pose but at least on this one you can adjust it and as you already know the toy, all of them in SL, will remember it.

The sound effects of the vibes are very realistic and add to the role-playing experience, i wonder how they recorded those, must have been quite some fun to do that.

The chair comes with some very nice goodies, like a RLV relay, cuffs, whip, dildo and paddle.

As a bonus with the cuffs, you also get a DEM collar. It's a basic model, but free is good, eh?

So get ready for hours of RPing fun, and don’t look so sad its all in good fun.

Think Kink - PerfectPose version iii

Think Kink are introducing a new system in their toys, and I think revolutionary is not too strong a term : the PerfectPose system, version iii, indicated by the little red iii icon on the vendors and referred to as tk3.

When you adjust your avatar’s position (and even the positions of the adjustable parts) on a tk3 toy, it will store the settings in the cloud (who decided “in the cloud” was cooler than “on a server” ?) and allow you to retrieve them anywhere else.

In short : sit once on a tk3 toy and adjust it to your avatar, and tk3 toys anywhere in SL will fit you automatically.

While this is important enough for single person poses, it’s even more awesome for couples poses. Ever sit a snuggle pose that didn’t fit quite right? Ruins part of the fun, doesn’t it? Well, no more.

This is advance notice (we’re nothing if not well-informed!) and their huge line of toys is getting updated and released soon. There are already two tk3 toys at the store : the Screwn! II, and a wall-mounted version of same.

Pretty soon sitting on a toy that doesn’t fit right will be a thing of the past... sooo 2010!

What else? Well, improved, low-lag scripts - we’ll all appreciate if every designer gets that memo.

Updates to existing toys will be free, and upgrades (adding numerous expensive poses to existing toys, for example) will be inexpensive.

Extra languages are coming for menus and messages : French is done (le yay!) and more will arrive soon.

Whew. So, let’s stop here, and you drop by Think Kink and see the coming new thing. Just remember you heard it here first :)

Think Kink - ValStret IV and Candie's Screwn

Deirdre
There's a lot going on at Think Kink lately - The store moved to a new location, for starters, and the huge mall that used to surround it is gone.

With distractions gone, new and improved toys are popping up like mushrooms at TK : for example, the ValStret IV (think of "stocks" and you'll get it) and Candie's Screwn (with a fun seasonal twist).

Both toys have the PerfectPose system, which lets you tweak the poses, and memorize settings; and Candie's Screwn has lots of one and two-people animations.

The ValStret has more, though : with the Metamorph system, the toy itself adjusts! We stretched and widened the cuffs to match lelo's long legs, and it just looks terrific.

So, awesome toys (with no ugly poseballs), incredible scripting, and a cartload of possibilities.

Drop by the store for enthusiastic demos and explanations by the friendly staff, and have fun ;)


lelo
Introducing the new Think Kink Metamorph system.

Metawhat i hear you thinking, Metamorph is the future for toys like this.

No more standard one-size-fits-all poses and particle chains that hold you in place.

With Metamorph you adjust the toy to your victim... eh.. playpartner.

It can take a few minutes to move everything around, but when you do it's worth it as the toy can remember up to 10 avatars and, next time they sit, the toy is perfectly adjusted.

So a great step forward for SL toy design, i’m curious what they’ll come up with next.

Think Kink - Restrained Halloween

Deirdre:
We dropped by Think Kink on a special mission (we’ll keep you posted on the results!) and noticed that the girls have been busy.

In the store entrance is a big display of Hallowe’en-themed new releases - some as recent as yesterday!

If you’re doing a Hallowe’en dungeon theme, run, don’t walk, to Think Kink.

We picked a few samples to show you : the first picture is poor lelo hanging from the Back Cracker, a fierce assemblage of skulls and vertebrae ;) It features some very good scripting, and even facial expressions for the victim.

The second picture is lelo chained to a more conventional Saint Andrew’s cross. Well, aside from the skeletal hands and what have you ;)

I also threw in a vendor pic to show you a bit of what you’re getting : Lulu and Lockmeister cuffs, Sensations and Xcite! compatible.. there’s a lot of good work in those toys.

lelo:
As with the other toys we reviewed from Think Kink the scripting is very solid, this is version 501, so they keep fine tuning it.

I love the way they brought a Halloween theme to the toys, and i’ve seen dungeons where these skull and bones will look right in place.

There is a big selection so something for everyone, ohh and one hot tip, try the grave : it has some special surprises, no we’re not telling, check it out yourself. *smiles*

As before the toys hand out all kinds of (dangerous) goodies, like cuffs, whips and a very good RLV Relay.

So if you want to bring some Halloween spirits into your front garden or want to spruce up your dungeon, these will definitely do the job and you never know what you’ll catch with the graboid option. *winks*

Think Kink - Y Me?

Deirdre:
A fun bondage cross from Think Kink, this one is called “Y Me?”

This is a very cool toy. The padded cushions look pretty authentic for dungeon furniture.

The shape is interesting and original - looks authentic as heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was inspired by RL furniture like Lisa’s Delight II, which we covered a while back.

As lelo is a pretty tall girl, the cross didn’t look perfect for her out of the bag, but it is resizeable, (manually, no menu) so we were able to remedy the situation, and now it fits her perfectly.

By the way, if you want to see how these toys look like in use, drop by the Think Kink store, they have them all set up for use - you may just have to push off a model ;)

lelo:
Another fun toy for some good RPing by Think Kink.

As with the last piece of furniture we reviewed, it is fully RLV compatible and offers a fun capture feature.

Again you get a pair of free Lulu cuffs, but this time there is also a whip and a RLV relay included, better beware when you play around with that relay. *winks*

The control of the toy can be set to a group or a list of keyholders, though the moment you are locked into the device you don’t have any control of it.

The Y Me? has another great option that all bondage furniture should have, it can be adjusted to fit the decor of your dungeon, there are 8 wood types and 9 colors for the pads you can select.

So a fun toy that won’t clash with your dungeon, and when set to autograb, you never know what you might catch in it. *smiles*

Think Kink - Lisas Delight II

Deirdre:
Well lelo was no help *at all* on this post.. she just sat there and moaned ;)

This is Lisa’s Delight II, by Think Kink, a nice kinky store in a nice kinky mall which we will be visiting frequently in the future.

This is a one-pose toy, but it has a lot of fun options.

A clean menu gives access to things like a free whip and color-change cuffs, and turns on a mysterious option called the Graboid.

Now I was expecting a tentacle monster to leap out and pounce on lelo, but sadly it seems to be a RLV relay invoking script. Still sounds like fun ;)

lelo:
Well here is a nice toy from Think Kink, and thinking kink they were when building this one.

As you might guess the stand is fully RLV enabled and even offers a trap mode, so relay wearers beware of this one, you might get to know it more intimate than you would like.

For extra role play fun it has a remotely operated dildo, which is Xcite and Sensations enabled.

The stand has a simple animation giving the effect of some slight struggling against the bonds and trying to relieve some painful knees.

Once locked onto the stand you can’t get to the controls which is emphasized with the rattling of chains and a nice little line in chat.

Ohh and it comes with a free pair of Lulu’s basic play cuffs in leather, but it works fine with my trusted old Amethysts.
