After examining some other options, the next Talk the Machinima Talk audio conference is set to take place once again in Second Life, this month at a brand new location: a new private island owned by Fleef Fimicoloud and Stormy Harker!

Plus, we’ve picked a time which should be friendly for both North American and European participants.

Info on start time and location available here:

And here are some links relevant to planned topics for discussion, with the understanding that the floor is always open to other subjects:

• Machinima Film Festival 2008
• NVISION ‘08
• Machinima at The Cambridge Film Festival 2008
• Shattered Keyboard on the Vimeo “gameplay videos” decision
• Machinima For Dummies on the Vimeo “gameplay videos” decision
• The Ill Clan’s recent article on 4:3 encoding

We could even talk some Securom if ya like!

EDIT: This Vimeo thing is definitely the hot issue of the week. Here are a couple more references:

• The Official Vimeo Blog Announcement
• Eric Rice weighs in on Vimeo decision
• Kotaku reports on it (as their comment thread evolves it might serve as a decent pulse of gamer response
• WeGame makes a very smart play in response
