But that didn't stop us giving the residents of Home one final party to celebrate Star Trek's release. Last night between 7-9pm (BST) we threw our first virtual party in Home Square. Anyone could come along and we gave away two exclusive uniforms, one male one female, to those that popped by.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AZqBa1zM-AQ&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AZqBa1zM-AQ&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As with most events in Home, it turned into one giant dance party. Multiple instances of Home Square ran at capacity and all appeared to be in full spirit. Special thanks to Home users <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wolvyant/sets/72157617872817447/">Milnerant</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/Wip3outs">Wip3outs</a> for some great footage on Flickr and Youtube and a big thank you to all who came along. <br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Star Trek has already generated a very respectable <a href="http://uk.reuters.com/article/industryNews/idUKTRE54A06A20090511">$112 million at the box office</a> and it will be interesting to see how it fairs this weekend. Nonetheless, this figure pretty much guarantees this won't be the end of the rebooted franchise.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As we continue to find our feet in Home and another campaign draws to a close, our eyes have already turned to the next one. And there is definitely more than meets the eye this time.</div>Marc Berryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14550900563636907362noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-442193829692057838.post-52999492103618396542009-05-08T03:25:00.000-07:002009-10-13T02:13:11.752-07:00Star Trek Avatar Contest: And the winner is....<div>A big thank you to everyone who entered the contest, we saw some great entries but as with all competitions there can only be one, actually three, winners :)<div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">KIRK</span></div></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.theppc.com/silverscreen/uploaded_images/kirk-708695.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://www.theppc.com/silverscreen/uploaded_images/kirk-708677.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div><br /></div><div>Congratulations to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/37847265@N04/3482152627/in/pool-startrekps3homeavatars">chandlerPSX</a> for a great likeness of Chris Pine as Jim Kirk.
