Cellphone cameras are totally evil. Having our embarrassing moments captured for posterity on tiny display screens is something that I suppose we are going to have to learn to get used to.
A friend had shot the above video about a month back in an arcade at a Dave & Buster’s restaurant; he finally e-mailed me a copy. Any browser plug-in that supports the 3GPP video format (like QuickTime 6.5 or newer) should be able to play it back.
In the video I’m playing a surprisingly exhausting motion-sensor boxing game. Thankfully, no one shot my spastic gyrations while playing the DDR knock-off .
I guess if you can’t laugh at yourself, the seriousness of life will drive you crazy.
I’ve played that game. The one I was playing wasn’t working right and the only way to hit the guy was to knock the gloves together. So I was doing that and I had a bunch of little kids around me calling me a cheater. So I told them, “I’ll show you a cheater” and I knocked one of them out. That game is fun!
Knocking the gloves together is a great way to knock the guy out when you have to hit him twenty times in succession. I figured—it’s my token; I can cheat if I want to.
Gee, I remember the good old days when you didn’t work up a sweat playing an arcade game.
