On Monday, I received two packages: the Battlefield 1942 Complete Collection set that Rich from Windows Observer had picked up for me (many thanks, it's an awesome game and I'm a First Person Shooter addict), and a shiny black sparkling envelope. I looked in the top left hand corner and seen "LOKI" and knew exactly what it was, as I had been following the phenomenon around the Vanishing Point game information over at Neowin.net for the past week or so.

The envelope contained a letter "From the desk of Loki", and a small packet that was the same color as the envelope itself. Inside of the packet was a 256MB USB Memory Stick (which is rather nifty), which contained clues for the Vanishing Point game and a video from Loki.

As some of you may know, the Vanishing Point game is basically a series of complex puzzles which you must figure out. As you figure them out, you'll get points, which will earn you the opportunity to win some cool prizes, including a trip into space to see the Ultimate Vista (yes, you heard me right, space. Provided by Rocketplane XP. Holy shit!). Other prizes include copies of Windows Vista Ultimate and 2007 Microsoft Office Ultimate, some high-end gaming systems from AMD, XBOX 360s, Zune media players, and more. It sounds rather interesting, and I definately plan on playing along with this. Hell, I can't pass down the chance for something that cool. And, even if I don't win, I still got a 256MB USB Memory Key.
