About Alienware Backpacking challenge (text from AlienWare challenge website)

The Alienware Backpacking Challenge sees four gamers enjoy the opportunity of a lifetime, travelling all over the continent, blogging their way over mountains and seas, crossing borders and time zones, trying to prove just how talented they are.

Kitted out with an Alienware M11x laptop, a video camera, and a set of camping equipment, the four lucky participants will spend eight weeks blogging their way through Europe, competing regular challenges before going up against each other in a weekly public vote.

Ever wondered how many countries it’s possible to visit in a day on a budget? The best way to enjoy a high-adrenaline session of gaming while travelling at 300kmh, or while looking up to the heavens at an altitude of 3,500 feet? We’ll be looking for the answers to these questions, and many more besides – it’s sure to be an adrenaline-filled two months!

With a cash prize of $5,000 for the winner, this truly will be their experience of a lifetime, but even more exciting is that tens of thousands will be following their progress online, living and dying with their successes and failures, as they blog, tweet, film and so much more.

The competition will kick off at the Electronic Sports World Cup, this year held in Disneyland Paris, on June 30th, and conclude at GamesCom, an event held annually in Cologne, on August 20th.
