Ultima Online is still going strong, somehow. But honestly it hadn't had much input from Lord British himself for most of its lengthy life. The throne sat empty.
Tabula Rasa on the other hand, was a massive flop. #richardgarriott
Anyone got a better video of this? At least, a video that I can actually WATCH without having to wait for the 30second ad to stop buffering, playing 3 seconds, buffering, starting again etc. etc.
"Hey, he's got real onions in his onion strips" is all I heard...and is probably what I'll dream about when I fall asleep. Curse you crappy embedded video and/or crappy internet connection...I wanna see robot thingamajigs!!!
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.
@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.
@Kenny: an apt response that not only succeeded in being dirtier than the previous one, but worked in a reference to a recent movie at the same time...
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)
Umm, @Veritas7Ax: Umm, There is air in spacecraft, the planet is in space, and if they were REALLY in space(I.E. No protection) they would freeze to death.
@[ZTF]214A, 2A, 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D, 214B, 214D: I know what "in space, no one can hear you scream" is from, but... That sentance still made NO FREAKING SENSE WHATSOEVER...
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...

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

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.
