Ubisoft contest asks you to shoot down planes, undress dames
Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII is, rather ostensibly, a game about good airplanes shooting down evil airplanes. Unfortunately, a central dilemma faced by Ubisoft UK's marketing department is that only a very small segment of the target audience is sexually attracted to winged machines. Draping some fine women all over the cockpit is as good a solution as any, and much like strapping a floral bikini onto a decrepit corpse, gives the horrors of airborne war that sexy spin.
That's not the only thing you'll get out of it, as the classy "Girls of Blazing Angels 2" challenge you to a particularly sadistic website minigame, offering an Xbox 360 Elite as prize. The game, apparently based around Victoria's Secret Missions of World War II, is explained quite simply: "The longer you survive the more the girls of Blazing Angels will strip." Exciting in theory, but maddeningly distracting in practice. You try piloting a plane through waves of enemies while a woman takes off her clothes in a nearby video window!
Whoever gets the Xbox 360 in the end will have demonstrated an amazing knack for concentration despite being bombarded by Ubisoft's amazing lack of sophistication.

As a feminist, this pisses me off. As a bisexual woman, this turns me on.
Silver R. Wolfe @ Aug 29th 2007 9:19PM
As a gay man, I'm disgusted. :P
Jamie @ Aug 29th 2007 9:24PM
Fair enough!
colin @ Aug 29th 2007 9:39PM
as a heterosexual,
homosexual males (the girly kind) disgust me.
bisexual women, on the other hand ... are the stuff dreams are made of.
BPM @ Aug 29th 2007 9:43PM
As an American, this annoys me that I am not eligible to win a free 360 Elite from Ubisoft.
... IN AMERICA!
hvnlysoldr @ Aug 29th 2007 9:48PM
Screw the rules I have money!
Jamie @ Aug 29th 2007 9:51PM
Heterosexual men that think bi women are the Holy Grail? Eww, moving on.
Word of the street. @ Aug 29th 2007 10:05PM
Me too, Really my hate towards ubisoft grows each day,Ubisoft contest should be international.
Well at least someone in a German embassy located in London is going to be happy with his/her new x360 l33t.
My hair is happy with the Yugioh TAS references, they are Gold, In CANADA.
hvnlysoldr @ Aug 29th 2007 10:08PM
Attention Duelists! My hair says only limey Brits may enter.
colin @ Aug 29th 2007 11:17PM
"Heterosexual men that think bi women are the Holy Grail? Eww, moving on."
ummm .... you just kind of eliminated all heterosexual men.
Patrick @ Aug 29th 2007 11:21PM
as a bro dude, stripping is good, women who go both ways is good, homosexuals arent my thing, but Ive got no hate, and theres always just plain old hetero woman.
Word of the street. @ Aug 29th 2007 9:06PM
It isnt that hard you only have to pay attention,Just put a post it on the video or have a lot of decipline in my case my greed is bigger than my lust.
But there is a problem in the site,it ask me to register,I have done it 3 times and it just sends me back to the game,over and over.
jwach26 @ Aug 29th 2007 11:04PM
I won, only to be denied the reward because I live in the good ol' US of A.
Chessh2036 @ Aug 29th 2007 9:12PM
how are u beating it?? I Cant beat it and ive tried 10 times...does the girl only get to her bra and underwear or does she actually get naked?
IlyaG @ Aug 29th 2007 9:22PM
Like you, I was having a hard time beating it at first, but it simply required a little concentration. I was finally able to beat it successfully, and that's when a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I... I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. Women, uh... women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I, uh... I do not avoid women. But I do deny them my essence.
Word of the street. @ Aug 29th 2007 9:25PM
Is actually funny you are asking this,No she never gets naked during the game.Who knows what happens next my Ubicrap account isnt from the Uk.
And I dont feel like making a fake account.Just follow the pattern,if you look at the video for 1 second the game instantly turns into Silver surfer.

Hahaha, yeah.. but Shiunji of 'Thin H Line/Sexy Losers' wouldn't mind fapping to that.
Jamie @ Aug 29th 2007 9:52PM
Reading that comic has forever damaged my soul.
Word of the street. @ Aug 29th 2007 9:29PM
I just keep beating the game,actually if I had a way to record how I'm doing it I would post in youtube.I'm actually good in this kind of games.
elmersglue @ Aug 29th 2007 9:33PM
who votes jamie is a guy?
Jamie @ Aug 29th 2007 9:49PM
I forgot, "women don't exist on the internetz". Silly me!
What are you, like 12 or something?
elmersglue @ Aug 29th 2007 9:58PM
haha no i'm not 12, i just thought it would be funny. I'm sure you had to expect someone to say something like that at one point or another..
It's something a guy would say in reaction to a girl visiting a blog site that you'd expect only guys to frequent. Like on Gizmodo for example, whenever the bloggers talk about their "girl readers", there's ALWAYS someone that comments saying "wait, you're telling me they are girls on gizmodo?!"
hvnlysoldr @ Aug 29th 2007 10:00PM
I field this one elmersglue.
I'm rubber you're glue.
What strikes me bounces and sticks to you.
Wait elmers is the glue... Sorry fellow Mario bud.
Word of the street. @ Aug 29th 2007 10:01PM
Wait,there are girls in Gizmondo?
:P
elmersglue @ Aug 29th 2007 10:03PM
oh hey, hvnlysoldr, I've been meaning to thank you for my new Avatar, i suppose now is a good time... Thanks man!
hvnlysoldr @ Aug 29th 2007 10:06PM
I figured as much. You're welcome.
Jamie @ Aug 29th 2007 10:18PM
elmersglue: Yeah, you're right XD
Megaqwerty @ Aug 30th 2007 7:49PM
Jamie is female, posting on a gaming site, and is bisexual. You're right: that's too much awesome!
Oh, yeah, she's a feminist.
Jamie @ Aug 29th 2007 9:47PM
Continuing in this vein, sexually-insecure straight men that dream of being with bisexual women disgust me.
Jamie @ Aug 29th 2007 9:48PM
Except, you know, replying in the right thread and stuff.
Kevin_2 @ Aug 29th 2007 10:59PM
Most guys haven't been around bi women, so they don't know how to even talk to them half the time.
colin @ Aug 29th 2007 11:36PM
assuming that to be a jab at me ... i would counter that not all heterosexual men that fantasize about a tryst with two women would be sexually insecure. i would tend to think that most men wouldn't turn down such an invitation if it required no consequences.
that being said ...
people who define themselves and their ambitions by their race, creed, gender, sexual preference ... essentialy WHAT they are and not WHO they are disgust me.
tag, you're it.
Jamie @ Aug 30th 2007 1:41AM
Colin, that was mostly snark (although the guys that are all "OMG ur BI *drool*" get old real quick). The insecurity was referring to being "disgusted" by gay guys. My original post didn't hate on groups of people like that, and was just supposed to be funny/silly.
something_something_parasol @ Aug 30th 2007 5:25AM
I feel the same way about attention whores bb.
Word of the street. @ Aug 29th 2007 9:56PM
I was curious so I created a fake account,The complete strip video sucks,she dances in her underwear for 3 seconds then the giant get your game today ad pop up.
I was LMAO,I created a fake account for this LOL.BTW I used a Geramny embbassy adress for the fake account so If anyone by chance works in the embassy and you get a x360 elite for some reason,It was me.
Dont thank me,you are welcome.
Word of the street. @ Aug 29th 2007 9:59PM
BTW the chick isnt even hot.She is kind of ugly really If we arent even going to see her naked at least hire a cutty the next time,Jeez.
AoE @ Aug 29th 2007 10:31PM
Goddamn you've put a lot of time and effort into this mini game... and commenting on this post. You should get a game console man, they're hella fun, and a lot more amusing than flash minigames and endlessly replying to a single blog article.
Word of the street. @ Aug 29th 2007 10:38PM
Not really I'm an expert at doing fake accounts and Ban dodging.
Also the game is too easy and reminds me to that capcom game 1949(That was the name right?)
I have Bioshock but I'm currently working so...
