Have you ever wished you could shut yourself off from the world so you could catch up on playing video games? Jordan Wayne Long has taken this thought to the next level shipping himself from Arkansas to Oregon in a crate while playing Lord of The Rings Online.
Long’s friend Bradi Roberts will be transporting him on her truck, so he won’t be going through any kind of actual postal system, nor have to sign up for an Amazon credit card in order to get free shipping. Long plans to update the interested masses via his Twitter and has also created a blog to cover his week of playing LOTRO in a box, which should barely be any different from playing it in his room. I kid, MMO gamers, because I love. Long’s experiment is planned to take place between July 1 to July 7, and end at a Portland art gallery.

He's actually doing this to experience what it's like to be completely closed off from the world and his only social interaction being an MMO, blog, etc. It's an artistic representation of the isolation many disabled veterans suffering from PTSD feel.

I assume he is not going in an unpressurized plane?

I don't know, Manticore. That's two comments about it. I think you may be slightly curious.
