mkreku Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 A random guy on Myspace.com saw an ad for a game contest held by the company Gametrust, where you could win a trip to space (well, almost) if you put their games on your webpage. He put some of them on his Myspace blog.. and won the contest. The prize turned out to be a trip 15 miles (25 kilometers) up into the atmosphere in one of the best aircraft in the world, the MIG-25! He gets to travel to Moscow, live in an expensive hotel for 4 days and fly with a superjet to the edge of infinity just because he put some premade games on his blog. Jealous, anyone? ) You can also pay for the trip if you're interested... See: Edge of Space Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Hildegard Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Man in Russia you can do/buy anything if you have tons of money to spend....
Wick Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 For serious. Russia's so damn capitalist these days. More so than America. Rampant capitalism.
thepixiesrock Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 We have to put an end to it. Lou Gutman, P.I.- It's like I'm not even trying anymore!http://theatomicdanger.iforumer.com/index....theatomicdangerOne billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.
LadyCrimson Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Envious? A little. I don't like to fly tho. :D My motto for contests tends to be: "I'll take the cash." “Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.” – Alan Watts
Atreides Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I don't know... if I hadn't seen it on tv I might be a little more envious. Nowadays Discovery Channel's raised my expectations. If somebody asked me to go to Egypt to check out the pyramids, or China to check out their Imperial stuff I'd probably say no because I've seen it on tv with researched commentary. Plus the tv specials probably show you delicate stuff that the public wouldn't be able to see on normal tours. Spreading beauty with my katana.
Nick_i_am Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 That's just sad. 'I dont want to see somthing through my own eyes, i've seen it on TV!' If you're comparing watching camera footage of 'alomst space' to actually being 15 miles high in the back seat of a mig-25 with the engines roaring behind you, haha.

Moose Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I was gonna say the same thing but then I remembered you already have HD-TV over there. There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
Atreides Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Wait till we get motion-simulator sofas. Spreading beauty with my katana.
Nick_i_am Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Okay, that's it, i'm off to live in a cave somewhere. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Atreides Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Already seen that on tv. Spreading beauty with my katana.
Moose Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Wait till we get motion-simulator sofas. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That'd actually be quite cool There are none that are right, only strong of opinion. There are none that are wrong, only ignorant of facts
Surreptishus Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 I suppose its cool that a guy won a internet competition. I am more jealous of the guy who came up with the idea to sell pixels as ad space.
