[Update: Contest over! Winners have been PM'd ?their codes.]

Vlambeer's customisable dogfighter Luftrausers released last week to near-universal praise after an agonising wait in certification that may or may?? not have? contributed to my impending mental breakdown.

One half of the indie duo, Rami Ismail, was kind enough to give me five Steam codes to ce??lebrate the launch and while I'm reluctant to give even more people the opportunity to beat my high score, I should probably share.

'Luftrausers' appears to be a portmanteau of t?he German word fo??r 'air' and a word that doesn't really exist, but that doesn't matter because German is awesome. To get your hands on a code, all you have to do is leave a comment with your favourite German word below. The wackier the better. Don't have a favourite German word? Go find one. Consider it homework.

I'll go first: 'Rin?dfleischetikettierungsüber??wachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz' was a a 63-letter long title of a law 'for the delegation of monitoring beef l??abelling'. Your move.

Good luck! Don't forget: Our Huge members get automatic entry into all contests.
