    How romantic, just you, your future spouse, and a couple of total strangers floating in a tube.


    If I was going for it I'd at least have had Garriot dress up like Elvis.

    I've never fully understood how these zero-g rides work. So they do these parabolic arcs, but presumably you're only experiencing zero-g when it's going down right? Falling at the same speed you are? So wouldn't you keep fluctuating back and forth between zero-g and lots-of-g? I don't understand.

    @singing pigs in elevators: You only feel zero G at the top of the arc. It's essentially no different to going over a peak on a rollecoaster and being pushed up out of the seat (into the restraints).


    At the bottom of the arc apaprently you feel twice as heavy.


    Vomit comet indeed.

    It is much more cheaper then a traditional wedding and an unforgettable event.


    However, unless you really are actually in a location with zero ATP called outer space, it just looks as grand as a simple skydiving event.

    @Cypher: Sorry to be so trivial, but I feel obligued to point out that this is far different from skydiving. You float at the top of the arc because your upward momentum is momentarily enough to negate the downward pull of gravity. It's kind of similar to throwing a tennis ball straight up in the air. At the highest point, for a brief moment, the ball will neither be going upward, nor travelling downward.


    When the plane is going "down" you don't experience zero G, if you jumped in the air at this stage you would just fall straight back to the floor.

    All things considered $10 400 isn't all that bad. You get a memorable experience and you don't even have to invite any guests...how much do normal/sane/mundane weddings cost now-a-days? (not Vegas weddings or shotgun weddings mind you)

    As someone else said, if he'd said "In space, no one can hear your objections to this union" or "in space, no one can hear the wedding bells" or whatever, then yeah, but that's not what he said... What he said was so incredibly mangled, I'm amazed I was even able to pull the Alien tagline out of it...

    Too bad for the team behind the game. To be honest I don't know anyone who has played Tabula Rasa.. and a shooting MMO just didn't make a ton of sense to me. Maybe it can work, and I'm just narrow minded, though.

    @Emperor: It was under a dollar and I have played it for the last week. Right around the time when my one month is gone the free period of the game will begin until it gets shut down.


    Since I was only going to use the free month then stop I am not mad at all.


    It was only a dollar after all.

    @JustJake: Yeah, I bought it, but didn't install it yet, and didn't plan on going longer then a month either. I just don't have the time for MMOs anymore, and I still have CoV, so can't do another.


    Will try to play the hell out of it before the time is up, though.


    I wonder if anybody would ever offer what is out there for free, to set up on a local server... I mean it will never get any new content, but it would be cool to have an old mmo - like asheron's call or something - running at work for a bun ch of us to mess around on afterhours.
