Some Gag About Ships: Virtual Skipper 5 Videos

We talked about its announcement, but since it's drifting closer to release, Focus have let slip the PR-mainbrace and - er - released videos. Many videos. With ships in them.

In returning to a theme this week of mocking OLL-presenter Simon Byron, I always recall when an old girlfriend first met him. We walked into the Triforce's chalet at top-Indie-festival All-Tomorrow's Parties, which was pretty much empty, bar Simon rolling on the floor in the doorway, howling Hungry Like The Wolf at max-volume and min-melody into his Singstar mike. And as we step over his rolling body, I introduce him "Oh - and this is Simon Byron".

Anyway - enough about Simon Byron. Virtual Skipper 5!

Boats are amazing.
