Got this news from HardOCP:-

[H]ard|OCP - Gamer Ships Himself Across Country in a Crate While Playing Game


And this is the original link from yahoo news:-

Man ships himself over 2,000 miles in wooden crate while playing online game - Yahoo! News


So one Jordan Wayne Long will be starting a 7-day long journey from Bald Knob, Arkansas to Portland, Oregon on 7th July in a small wooden box. During his venture, his only contact with the outside world would be through internet. Here's a pic:-

Really? When did the technology of transporting food from the Internet came into existence?

And flushing wastes too?

[Skud]

That's what written in the links. What I get, food and water would most probably be packed inside the crate, don't know about flushing waste.

We will come to know on 7th of next month.

BTW how many of you can live like this? Not in a crate I mean but without any contact to any human being and just play your favorite game.
I know we have a thread where members mentioned how many hours they played non-stop. Some gentleman had a record 14 hr game session

[Tejas.Gupta]

I once played for nearly 21 hrs straight and then got very sick, got a stomach upset that floored me for like a week or so, got massive dehydration as well, parents almost had to take me to a hospital, never again, body comes first.

LOL, how about 3xGTX480, for heating, cause it will get cold in there?

Realistically it would be a very low end config, or the battery will run out very fast. Amd fusion?
