The nerdiest thing that you've ever done while playing a simulation game...

I was waiting for this to continue "..which I had covered in fine sand and ashes..". :p

OMG !!! I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT !!! NOW I HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN !!!!!

(I hope my wife understands...)

Understand sand and ash all over the floors and in the carpets... Ya right, you will be darn lucky if she only decides to crucify you on the front lawn.

I would suggest building yourself a sandbox in the back yard and playing in it instead, that way she will just think your crazy.

lol, i think the nerdiest thing I've ever done is fly from Sheffield City to Liverpool in RT on FS2004 using all lights and instruments and ATC. Not quite as nerdy as the shuttle to the moon I know. However I do play WoW.

Well, she already thinks I'm crazy, so that's half the battle. I guess since I'll have to actually go OUTSIDE to take the soil and ash and rock samples, I'll need to design and build a space suit too. (She'd probably expect that from me anyway. Same thing with the neighbors . Since I'm also an expreimental musician, they're used to strange, horrifying sounds coming out of this room when the windows are open so I'm sure me walking around the backyard in a space suit would be nothing new to them)

The other problem I'll have to overcome is my wife forcing me OUT of the spacecraft multiple times in flight.
"I'm sorry dear ! I can't take out the garbage !!! I'm 500+ miles above the Earth !!! STOP TEARING MY SPACESHIP APART !!! THERE'S NOTHING BUT COLD VACUME OUT THERE !!!! HOUSTON !!! MAYDAY !!! YAAAAAAAAA !!!!! " Yeah... that'll go over real well !

Assure your wife that your expedition is for the good of the relationship. Or get her to join the "million miles high" club

lol, it's from the New York intro trailer in World in Conflict.
I just used Fraps to record it on the game and Video Avatar (http://www.geovid.com/Video_Avatar/) to convert it.

That looks very cool. Not played that game yet but I doubt my laptop will run it...
