Real nail biting moment with this landing.. The sky crane is something that to my knowledge, has never been done before! It’s nuts! One little thing goes wrong, we lose a billion dollar rover!
Should be starting a couple of hours before planned landing.. Don’t forget there is a delay in transmission time between Mars and Earth. So when we see the landing has been successful on NASA TV, it really took place maybe 10-20 minutes earlier. That’s the nail biter! It will have all happened, we will just be waiting for it to come in
So I was just thinking, and taking a look at things on the left, about how we create “Popular Content”.
A couple of years ago I think, n0mad made a very successful post in regards to Borderlands. That racked up something like 20,000 page views in a reasonably short amount of time.
I just took note of one of my older lunar eclipse posts has been getting a fair few hits each day lately. Over the course of the life of the blog post, 2 years, its brought up 5,000 page views.
Okay now sure, that’s barely a drop in the bucket floating in the ocean that is the interwebz, but for a small site like ours, potentially 5,000 viewers to our site could only be good advertising for Team IPX. I ain’t talkin about $$$ revenue here, just simply exposure.
So what is it that gets us these pageviews? The way I see it, it simply has to be the keywords we use .That’s how search engines do their trick. n0mad hit the nail on the head SOMEHOW. Linking I suspect plays a part in it as well?
Just wondering who would like to join me in the 9th DOPIT, seeing as though it’s been about 1 and a half years since DOPIT 8 i think it’s about time to have another. Also wanted to get an idea of how many members have dirt so if you can’t come just leave a comment anyway explaining why. I am also going to need help from a B0D to get things running so fuzz, if you’re keen it would be great. if you do want to come just leave a comment below and we’ll sort out times sometime within the next week. Hope to see you there!
EDIT: n0mad wins! 2 points to n0mad, 1 point to chipper and Mango each.
WOPIT IV – The Amazing Pad-Man!
Date has been finalized for 07SEP12.
Official start time is 8PM Australian Eastern with whatever DST calibrations are in effect for that period of the year.
Warmup/pregame begins 1hr before
Plenty of time to pick availability. Also I would like us to try to have a rotation of maps ready for the night.
Also, the point of a WOPIT night is to HAVEFUN! If you are not found to be doing so, your PC will be replaced with an Apple and your gaming life will become one extended fructose induced hallucination.
Skrue Norge!
