Microsoft sent out a free Flight Sim 2002 to me

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

There was a site that was promoting some war movie recently (Under Enemy Lines? Thin Red Line? Ah, I can't remember) and as part of their promotion they were giving out copies of Flight Simulator 2002 to the first 50 people who signed up to their website starting at 12:00am.

...Only they weren't very specific about whose 12:00am. West Coast, East Coast, Siberian Khatru Mountain time... they didn't say which. I tried for five days at both 12:00am EST and PST and didn't get a "winning" response after filling their form.

Five days is about as far as I'll go for Flight Simulator, so I let it be after that. Well, lo and behold Microsoft (or whoever was behind the movie whose name I unfortunately can't remember -- not because I am Mr Disaffected Generation X Guy, it's just that they didn't mention it on the form and that's all I saw) did end up sending me a copy after all. Maybe they had some extras, I dunno. I feel like a heel, though, as I would have told all you guys about it. It's just that, since they never told me I "won" a copy of the game, I didn't want to waste everyone's time.

Sorry about that.

Anyway, it's likely that I will go a good three or four years before installing it, but pump it up to MS for coming correct there. The only negative about it was that a game who has the richest corporation in the history of mankind behind it is still sent out in a soft, cardboard jewel case. It's one thing when it's Eidos who is pulling that stuff -- they good games that they have don't sell and they can only realistically release one Tomb Raider game a year. You'd frigging home that Microsoft could go "first class" on the packaging to "Flight Simulator." ROROLFLFLFLERKEKEKEKEKEKEKE

Let me reiterate, for the books, that FS2002 is the greatest computer program of all time.

Install it.

Live it.

So you got Flight Simulator 2000, huh. Does this mean it's gonna fly to Mexico? Some of my best buddies are from Mexico.

The installation of this game is currently #4 on my "to-do" list.

#3 is "get laid," however, so it may be a while before I can bump this thread.

Actually, the *least* I can do is install it and comment on it. I mean, shit, Ben went out and got Neverwinter Nights and everything (or at least lied about it in a convincing manner). I should at least attempt to get up to par on a game that everyone else on the BBS has played.
