We've thought about it and after lots of chair throwing and Pokemon duels (Ludwig is a legendary jerk), we've decided not to convert our tips box to 3D Mailbox. Sure, the thought of seeing Kyle Orland swimming around as a virtual shark, hunting for the latest gaming news sounded good in theory, but we thought it'd be best to leave the cruel mistress of science out of our practice.

That blows, in far too many ways.. How many times have people tried to change email to make it more graphical, and in the end, just sending a letter, plain text, wins.
This is take everything bad about those programs, and expand on it.

so lets take bets now. how long after it gets released does this piece of junk get turned into a 3d virtual porn program by the one guy who buys it?

Yeah, this looks to be a jab to all those shitty glorified chat programs with horribly retarded looking characters, like SL and Home. And it's right on the money.

Taken from the site:
"Imagine photorealistic environments rendered in real-time, and you only begin to understand what this engine is capable of."
LOL? Photorealistic = mass jaggies, blurry textures, and shitty polygon count? GTFO

They're trying to turn checking your e-mail into a game? When I think e-mail, I don't usually visualise sharks, tropical islands, or women in bikinis, and especially not the adventure of a lifetime.
This ad actually scared me.

My question is how long does it take just to start up the program? Who wants to wait while a huge program loads, just to check a message or two? E-mail should be simple and fast.

Is this program entirely fullbright?

at least they seem to embrace the cheesiness. i'd imagine the target market is the same as those targeted by the download ringtones and wallpapers for your phone commercials by just dialing 6224.

So this is a 3d world based on my mail?,Huh those spam sharks are going to get obese real quick.

haha, i love the fact the announcer was sooo dramatic.
that might have been one of the funnist, yet dumbest things i've ever seen. It's tied with hello kitty usb hand warmers for the title.

Place you bets on how much spyware this thing has. Talk about an obvious trojan back door... yikes.
