O’zapft is: Another 12.9 million pints of beer for Munich’s Oktoberfest

O’zapft is: Another 12.9 million pints of beer for Munich’s Oktoberfest

O'zapft is

22.09.2007 (BC) – Another week with a lot of work is done. Now i am looking forward to Munich’s Oktoberfest tomorrow. The famous annual celebration of beer – opened at midday Saturday under blue-and-white skies and bright sunshine. Munich’s mayor opened the annual Oktoberfest, joyously hammering a tap into the first barrel of beer with the traditional cry of ‘O’zapft is’ (It’s tapped). Thousands of visitors crowded into the sprawling Theresienwiese festival grounds as Mayor Christian Ude launched the 174th edition of the drinking spree and the tent where the traditional ceremony is carried out was full to bursting, with latecomers turned away. Ude passed the first liter of beer to Bavarian Governor Edmund Stoiber. A 12-gun salute then signaled that it was time to start serving the beer.

Each of the festival’s tents offer seating for some 100,000 people.The Oktoberfest, marking its 174th year, runs through Oct. 7. Last year, the festival attracted more than 6 million visitors, who downed about 6.1 million liters – 12.9 million pints of beer. The traditional ‘Mass’ or one-liter (two-pint) mug, will cost visitors between 7.30 and 7.90 Euro (about US$ 10.30 and US $11.10) at this year’s festival. Prost!

Woops ;) . Today i got my (final) ‘Brigadier General’ rank in BF2142 – it is time to move on, soldiers! Just right to check the new Demo of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Demo.

Force Feedback Vests: Get pounded with body slams!

(MH) 07.09.2007 – Get pounded with body slams, crushed with G-forces or blasted with bullet fire. The US manufacturer TN Games has developed a special Force Feedback Vest named ‘3rd space Vest’. Small pneumatic motors slam the player where it really hurts: If the player is for example hit in a FPS by the opponent, the 3rd space Vest pokes the back or stomach. During IFA the special Force Feedback Vest was seen at Philips dealer lounge, however the vest is not one of Philips’ own developments. Rumors were afloat that TN Games and Philips are discussing to launch the 3rd space Vest within the amBX series.

TN Games announced the Force Feedback Vest to be availbale in October (USA) for about 170 US Dollars. The vest is attached by USB cables and comes along with an air compressor. However, games do not (!) support the 3rd space Vest automatically, so TN Games provides a SDK kit for developers.
