…is not always free!

What happens when you get a bunch of skateboarders together, strap brightly colored neon Tetris blocks to their heads, and let them run wild on the streets of San Francisco? This does.

Check out the video below to see it all come together.

I guess this guy is a huge tetris fan. Why else would you have your head partially shaved and then dyed in the shape of tetris pieces?

PlanetInAction.com has released the first version of a fantastic free simulation game which leverages the browser-based Google Earth plugin as the primary graphics engine. The game is called “Ships” and lets you take the helm on ships – barges, cargo ships, container ships, and even a cruise ship (the QM 2). Everything is in 3D, you can drive the ships anywhere in the world, there are sound effects, physical modeling, and realistic visual effects that makes this a wonder to behold. Not only that, but the author – Paul van Dinther – has created some great camera tools to make it easier for people to follow the action and see the sights. This is the best example of the Google Earth API I’ve seen to date.
