Zero G awesomeness - Image 1 


More than six months ago, we told you of this sweet contest. The object of the contest: you playing video games in the weirdest place possible. The prize: Play your DS in zero-gravity, making you the second coolest kid in the block (next to the guy who owns your space shuttle) and giving you a lifetime worth of memories.

Well, Kotaku was contacted by the actual winner of the contest, and they have a pic of the guy in mid-air. Jaime, one of their hall of fame readers, was one of the winners of this great contest, and he sent in a pic of him and the other winners as they floated through the air in zero-gravity. As he writes,

I'm not going to lie, playing a touch screen based game in zero-gravity is extremely difficult (I had to set Elite Beat Agents down to easy in order to get anywhere) and my friend had an equally hard time with Star Fox Command. If anything, the trip should have been a testimony as to how many beatings the DS lite can take, as it was stepped on and knocked out of my hands countless times and still works perfectly.


Congratulations to him and the rest of the winners. We're certain that the awesomeness of that moment cannot be contained in a single sentence, much less a paragraph or two.

» The wasted their zero-g time.... playing DS?

I would have been doing back-flips and things of that nature, not playing DS.
