by Nick Breckon, Dec 18, 2008 7:00pm PST

This trailer for Ship Simulator 2010: Extremes is pretty extremes. It's also pretty surreal. Watch at your own risk.

The most exciting thing that could happen while playing this game is spilling hot tea onto your lap after a large wave crashes against the side of your ship, sending your 5.1 setup nuts.

This trailer has changed my life. Everything has just clicked into place. It all makes sense. I am starting a new secret club. It will be like fight club except we will play realism games. The catch is... if we crash in the game we carry out its effects in real life. In the case of this game it will be shooting a flare into the ceiling, hoping into a bathtub full of salt water, and sitting there for 10 days eating whoever draws the short straw. Take that consumerism!

I'm guessing this is an add-on/plug-in for Flight Simulator? I doubt there's a large enough "ship enthusiast" crowd out there to sell more than a couple hundred copies (assuming it's NOT an add-on).

They could've made that trailer hilarious by showing boats crashing and stuff exploding; at the very least it could drum up a little interest by being crazy. Of course, the game isn't meant to be played like that, but hell, if people buy your game, who cares how they play it?
