Video Games Do Not Translate Well To Real Life

Posted on November 10th, 2007 by Ed Lau

Being serious on a Saturday should be some kind of crime. For example, if someone were to bring up tax returns or TPS reports on a Saturday, they could, by law, be immediately beaten with Nerf bats by everyone in the immediate vicinity. Maybe not to death because beating someone to death with freakin’ foam would take a long time but at least until they’re learned their lesson. Saturdays are for fun. I’m sure we all think God must be a pretty hard working dude and even he took a break on the seventh day (although I’m not quite sure if that means Saturday or Sunday…)

That being said, here’s a video a friend sent me today of a bunch of idiots trying to re-create Super Mario Kart in real life. I’m not sure if this is possibly the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen or the most awesomest thing ever. I suppose there’s really a fine line.

One thing’s for sure, though. This is way better than those freaks that do…fantasy role-playing…in real life. Lightning bolt!

    HAHA! The video is hilarious!! On YouTube, you can find almost ANYTHING. It used to be everything until they cut down on piracy and stuff like that.

    Great008, I thought Galaxy came out already? Well in US that is.
