We're not entirely sure, but Freddie Wong's alleyway may be the most interesting, exciting, and down-right dangerous place on planet Earth. The intrepid YouTube star been <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkc2vYUEA9w">Crossfired to death</a> <em>and</em> <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/07/03/man-vs-katamari-rolls-us-up-into-a-ball-of-terror/">rolled up by a Katamari</a> along the same narrow stretch of road, and now the asphalt backlot has become a testing ground for <em>the future of motion control gaming</em>.<br />
<br />
If the holographic baddies in the Wong's concept video look familiar, they should; Insomniac actually halted production of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/resistance-3"><em>Resistance 3</em></a> for an entire day in order to animate custom Chimera soldiers for the production. Wong claims that the majority of the technology required to build a motion gaming rig like this already exists, albeit in not-<em>quite</em>-so-advanced forms. Much like the angular, massively-wheeled concept cars we <strike>have all over our walls</strike> oogled as children, Wong's video gives us a glimpse into a future <em>just barely</em> more awesome than the one we'll actually get.<br />

YouTube sensation Freddie Wong's gun-filled videos have referenced FPS games <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/09/psa-portal-guns-are-for-trained-professionals-only/">in the past</a>, but none have been quite so <em>on the nose</em> as "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyCyzB0CedM">Future First Person Shooter</a>." One could almost suspend their disbelief to think these are just really good graphics -- especially once the <em>teabagging begins</em>.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/12/23/freddie-wong-develops-the-most-realistic-call-of-duty-ever/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Freddie Wong develops the most realistic Call of Duty ever</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/12/23/freddie-wong-develops-the-most-realistic-call-of-duty-ever/">Freddie Wong develops the most realistic Call of Duty ever</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 23 Dec 2010 13:00:00 EST.

You know, we always thought GLaDOS ran the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/portal"><em>Portal</em></a> simulation just so she could discover <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/weighted-companion-cube">the true value of friendship</a>, but it may really have been in the name of public service. In the video after the break -- created by Freddie Wong, who you probably recognize from his ridiculous (and hilarious) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua3hZXfNZOE"><em>Guitar Hero </em>video</a> -- we get a glimpse at the likely ramifications of improper <em>Portal</em> gun training and how a few apathetic "friends" can ruin one of the most exciting experiences ever. And here, all this time, we thought GLaDOS was the bad guy!<br />
<br />
Note: For those of you who spot that weird frame at the end of the video -- yep, with all that gibberish -- don't bother to decipher it. It's apparently just another gag from Freddie and "friends." Yuk-yuk-yuk.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/09/psa-portal-guns-are-for-trained-professionals-only/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>PSA: Portal guns are for trained professionals only</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/09/psa-portal-guns-are-for-trained-professionals-only/">PSA: Portal guns are for trained professionals only</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:00:00 EST.
