PDC05 Road Trip - Episode 1

It is once again that special time that only comes around every so often. It is the chance to leave the office, travel to an exotic location, and mix with hordes of fellow developers such as you. However, there is at this time an agonizing decision to be made; who will go and who will be left behind?

Who will come back with zany stories, arms full of cool tchotkes, and sporting a brand new deluxe backpack laptop/skateboard messenger bag? Yes, it is that time to get ready for the Microsoft PDC05.

Join us as we chronicle one guy’s journey to get to the event…

can I be the first to say -- wtf?! -- but none the less loved it, very funny. I like the toilet bit best.. Well actually I liked all of it... I also spotted Larry + Clippy.

Who do we have to send a postcard to so we can get a 9guy that big?

Fantastic!

And it answers the mystery - why is the 9 Guy allways smiling

So when is someone going to take the clue and actually make pacman with 9 guy and the longhorn ghosts?

well look at the last bits of that video...

my take is the 9 guy is going to have some kind of strange adventure....

the guy at the office is primed to go kinda nuts and the motel 9 guy pulls into looks a bit seedy....

and why did the cop even pull him over? no reason for that I saw....

so it kinda looks like he will have some strange adventures on the road...

Secret, hush-hush sources tell me that future episodes will feature the 9 guy riding with Toonces the Driving Cat (and we know how that episode ends).

There are also rumors of a post-PDC sequel where the 9 guy is forced into the deathmatch cage for a 3-way match with the Jack guy from Jack In the Box and that freaky-looking Burger King guy. I understand the 9 guy fries their burgers, so to speak.

Look for a sequel to the sequel where the 9 guy and Godzilla rip up Tokyo one more time...

yeahh whoo is that girl..is she a dev? I rather see more of her , she's probably in marketing..never knoww

I'm not 100% but as far as I know, most of the people in the video work at the company that came up with the idea for the video (with the obvious exceptions of Suzanne and myself).

There are a couple of professional (and semi-professional) actors there as well (no, I won't tell who they are).

Oh I'm still laughing at the bathroom scene. You knew what was going to happen but never the less it still killed! That rivels with the Mark Miller (Dev Express) "breaking into the p0rn industry on Channel9" comment. Keep bringing the good stuff.

No, that's a Honda Insight. It's considerably smaller and slower (off the mark) than the Prius, and it gets even better mileage.
