bubbabyte, buddy they offered...no one replied so.....i dont think it exists... :D

where in aus is it going..?

Last i checked there was 4 canadians on that list.. including sin-ergy that just posted above...lol

so when we refer to the east coast or west coast.. i'm assuming (hoping) that includes canada as well..lol

Yer sorry i just been very busy at work :(

Anyway i need to know roughly where i am sending this to first. I dont mean to sound like an idiot or anything but my knowledge of the USA states and distances is not that good, so if someone could help doing a USA postage list for a logical order would be a great help, as i want toship this by the end of the week.

Really, it's going to have to criss-cross North America. I'd say keep it North first. UK to Newfoundland or some other Canadian east coast province, then ship it across Quebec to Ontario because we have some Torontonians. Keep it going west and I volunteer to take it in Winnipeg and if there isn't response across the prairies, I'll take it a little of the way across and then ship it to the volunteer from Vancouver. He can send it down to Seattle and have it make it's way back across to the east coast, only this time meandering through the states. It hits the UK and Europe on the east coast again, and see if it can't make it's way across the mainland, (some how around China) and over to Oz! It's really not hard when you draw a line.

Woah...where did that come from. Brian, you gotta wait for the next list :pinch: sorry.

In any case, a few posts back we decided to start with East Coast US. Which would be either Mr. Chronopolous - Boston, or me, Peterish - New York City. Let's just go with Boston first! (why not? :D)

I don't mean to sound selfish, but this is just the way I see it since no one else seems to be posting ideas...

Tunafish, if that's ok with you, please PM with Chronopolous and see if you can work it out. Woohoo!!!!!!

I've looked through the current volunteer list and made a possible order. I did my best to make it flow evenly around the world.

London - tunafish and mumbles

Belgium - XerXis

Spain - littleneutrino

Boston - Mr. Chronopolous

New York - Peterish

Toronto - o0moonman0o

Minnesota - t_r_nelson

Kansas City - Marshalus

Kansas - djlegion

Texas - Al-Mann

California - crazzy88ss

Hong Kong - sundayx

Australia - -T-

I made that up a while ago (and posted it on the first page). If we go with the USA first, it would be me, and then NY, up to Toronto, down to Minnesota, Kansas City, and Kansas, south to Texas, west to California, and then off to either Asia or Europe (Asia would make the most sense from California).

this route probably makes more sense.

now, there are a few distant international shipments, is everyone who'll be doing one such shipment ok with the likely higher cost?

this could go in either direction, although if it's going right first then it might arrive in Vancouver too early. . . I could do any time after may, not just till August

Also, it might be more convenient to switch the order of me (Vancouver) and Victoria, doesn't concern me either way.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
