I am a great fan of Tateru Nino's Dwell On It comic strip on Massively to the extent that I considered having a try at it myself, albeit with a more academic objective in mind. As a poor avatar's machinima, it has a lot going for it. Student-generated content is something we must be encouraging and some students will prefer a graphical format over, say, blogs and wikis.
Anyway, having failed thus far to knuckle down and get StoryMachine to process chat logs as promised, I was delighted to find that Graham Stanley had processed the chat log from the recent EduNation meeting into a comic. My demo of StoryMachine at the meeting was entirely ad hoc and, I thought, singularly unconvincing. However, Graham's rendering of the event in comic strip format for RezEd casts it in an entirely different and almost dramatic (?) light.
Either way, great stuff!

Hi Peter, glad you liked it - I still haven't gone back to have a proper look at the great story machine yet, but hope to do so next week.
If you're interested, I rendered the chat log using ComicBook Creator, which makes it very easy to take snapshots from Second Life and convert them into comic format . we've started using it a lot on the British Council's Second Life project
"the great story machine". /me chuckles.
