Live action role-playing in the world of Minecraft
20
Oh hi there. The person hosting the video after the break is Gary Bigham, professional Live Action Role Player. He says that he's "cashing in" by creating a Minecraft LARPing video, but you'll be the one cashing in -- fistfuls and fistfuls of the currency known as laughter.
How do you roleplay as a Minecraft character, you may ask? It's harder than it sounds -- you have to try to build a shelter in the woods, use a duct-taped stone pickaxe to find precious gems and, whatever you do, always watch your back for those jerk creepers. Honestly, we're surprised Gary finishes the game as well as he does. Guess that's why he's a pro.

Whenever I see or hear the term "LARP," I think of rancid meat.
...I'm kind of weird like that...

Remarkably, it seems everyone was sober during the filming of this.
"I've shlain the shkeletons"
Um where are the gratuitous stock video explosion effects? It's just itching for it. Those green creeps splode, and they slode big time, they don't just run up to you, tickle you, and run away. WTF is that?
I kinda feel like Joystiq owes us each a $10 gift card for exposing us to this.

@Dizazter
What, you mean you didn't die of laughter every time the creeper screwed him over?
I was a tiny bit disappointed that the creeper didn't get to sneak up on him in the last scene, but I still laughed pretty hard during that scene regardless. (Really I just wanted to see him lose his diamond sword because of a creeper explosion.)

Whenever I think of cashing in on a craze, LARPing is the first thing that comes to mind, no question.

I went to the same school as these guys! It was 10 years earlier, but who cares, right? Loved the video! I wish that the creeper blew up rather than kicking and smashing, though.

Hah. Just when I had said I wanted to see Mega64 do this.
Too bad this is far away from civilization.
