Bicycle Races Are Coming Your Way!

So forget all your duties oh yeah!

Between June 21st through the 27th, a bicycle race sponsored by the Armenian Technology Group will be held from Yerevan to Stepanakert and back to Yerevan again, covering a total distance of 1,200-1,300 km. Twenty cyclists will be involved in this annual competition, nine of them from the United States of America.

That's more than 750 miles without the comfort of your cushy SUV or German Import! No es impossible!

Armenia's First 3D Game: Yerevan Drive!

How would you like the chance to drive around on the streets of Yerevan? No joke! The game is called Yerevan Drive - produced by Emergency Soft - and you get to drive and crash around Yerevan. Choose a Niva, 08, CL600, and many other cars and tear up the streets! You see modern and Soviet-era cars driving past you. Don't like them? Crash into them!

The game engine was built from scratch and that in itself is worthy of respect. While it will be a lie to say that this game is on par with American racing games, which have budgets of millions of dollars, it is a great first step and fun, too!

While the game has been out for two or so years, it was completely new to me. Check it out at the links below:
