We broke 3,000 MTBS registrants this week, and to celebrate we have an exciting contest! First, look at this picture:

Image

This is our very own Sharky on his homemade simulator chair. Is he looking bad-a** or what?!? Think you can write a good caption for this picture?

Microsoft Games for Windows sent us a copy of Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures, and it’s yours if your caption hits the mark! Post your caption in this thread, and the winner will be announced in August alongside another exciting announcement!

Regards,
Neil

For some reason you seem to like this picture :D

I'd say:
I had to stay awake the whole week to make this thing and now I'm very tired - and it is still not working properly :twisted:

And about the Game: maybe send it to Sharky? He made the picture after all :D

PS: it's interesting how you anounce the anouncements of anouncements :D

Igor and I discussed it already! We have his blessing for the caption contest.

Yes, more announcements to announce at a later announcement time.

Sharky says :
"Come race me and I'll shake you off in my shaking chair!!!"

Sharky says: "Sure, you'll beat me with your friggin go-cart but i ain't got wheels on this thing yet!"

And of course as above: I follow the DIY "chair-thread" with greatest interest and if this falls in taste i think Sharky's really deserve the game since this is on his "cost". (bad bad guy Neil!!! ;) )

cheers

"The new BowFlex: Gamers edition."

"I can now make it to the bathroom and back in under 15 seconds flat!"

"The future is here. Part console. Part man."

"The original design had two seats. We realised only nerds would buy this."

I saw this on a t-shirt. "I went outside once. But the graphics weren't that great." LOL

"I'm telling people this is my driving simulator... in actuality I lure beautiful women into it and when they least suspect it, it throws them out across the room onto the floor dazing them, and I take a picture of them! Just take a look at these unsuspecting victims on the wall behind me! MMWWWAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

You might be right... a translation website says:

"I think I have forgotten something .. as I am coso stops?"

So you might be right and he forgot the monitor - and the keyboard and a 3D projector and ...

btw. what means the last part? That translation is crap...

Oh and I think the (naw)$ is very low at the moment... you might want to get something else instead... :lol:

Very funny thread :)

"When I sit this far back from the screen, I NEED the 3D graphics to pop out in front of the monitor."

or

"Look how far back I have to sit when the graphics pop out of the screen!"

Although I liked somebody else's one about the convergence making the car disappear best.

Sharky "This is my new car - no so fast, but fuel inexpensive - ideal for enviromentalists.
And is in 3D - really I see it stereoscopic :-).

Hey Sharky! You got 2 citates in your sig:

Adam Savage: "I reject your reality and substitute it for my own."

Jamie Hyneman: "It's really cool, but really unusual."

Just think they somehow fit in. :D

"This is my project to become a robot specialist/engeneer at MythBusters. I'm busting the myth, that you can't recreate Reality... Unfortunatly it's realy hard and time consuming. I just finished the first part of my new reality: This car"

Unfortunatly there are so many good statements, that I don't think anynoe can realy win... So we would need more games, because we'll get about 5-10 winners :lol:
