this game is a fucking abomination to the human race

[such_heights]

Oh my god, okay, so timeasmymeasure posted this to her tumblr and I clicked mostly out of boredom, but oh my god. Crying with laughter, I can't even explain why this is so funny.

Some guy tries to play what is apparently the world's hardest and most ridiculous game, absurdity ensues:

OW, my SIDES.

omfg, I've only made it about two minutes in, after repeated stops and starts, because I have to keep stopping it to just howwwwwl :)))

[ignipes]

Bwahahaha! WHAT IS THAT NONSENSE.

(That dude sounds so much like a friend of mine, it's a little bit scary.)

I AM CRYING WITH LAUGHTER OMG

[reverse_skies]

*can do nothing but howl with nonstop laughter*

[xenakis]

That. The. What. What?

*wants to play this so hard.

[such_heights]

I had to look it up too; it's right here. And exactly as ridiculous as it looks.

(Also, did I even reply to your last PM? Possibly not on account of being a fail, but yay and yes were the basic responses!)

[xenakis]

IT'S FUCKEN HAAAARD. I can't even do the little running-on-his-knees thing the dude in the video was doing. I just- slowly do the split. Or concuss myself. A lot.

WTF.

(Also: YAY. Tickets are bought! Preparations are under way! I wasn't kidding about the maple syrup! :D :D :D )

*cough* Press O a couple of times to make him lean forward, then press P and Q at the same time, you'll need to release fairly quickly or he'll start falling backwards. Then, hopefully he's still leaning forward, press O and W and repeat - P&Q O&W P&Q. Occasionally I can make him do all of 3 steps before it all goes wrong.

*headdesk*

NUUUUUUUUUUU. i got to ten metres! TEN! and then splat!

[lorannah]

I feel quite strongly, that I probably shouldn't be so pleased that I managed to get him to run 7.5 meters.

[grlnamedlucifer]

LOL, I felt quite accomplished with my 6, so I say go for it. ;)

[lorannah]

8.9 in the end - I so wanted to get to 10, but this is not getting my yuletide fic written

[lorannah]

I feel I should probably quit now as my wrists are sore. And yet - addictive yays!

*bows down in awe*

[anatsuno]

hahahahhahahahaha, thank you for sharing that. :D

[fly_to_dawn]

lololol what even is this

*dies*

Also, lol at how many people on your flist have started playing the game XD

[dualbunny]

::wipes tears:: XD

[torachan]

omg I'm dying. That video is hilarious.

And the game is even worse. I tried it and am impressed he got as far as he did. XD

[sol_se]

Ha! :D

That is the most ridiculous game. I mean, really.

[kel_reiley]

ho shit, can't breathe-laughing too hard

also, DAMN NOW I WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME

[bradcpu]

I laughed until my throat was sore. No joke.

[themadlurker]

Oh god, oh GOD. The thing the video does not prepare you for are the sound effects. Hearing the *crunch* of someone's neck snapping every five seconds does not make for good game play!

"licking my nipples with the tongue of an elephant" is my new favorite cuss.

Because the link to the game, unlike every other gaming site at my job, actually worked, I actually got far enough to find out that there's a hurdle at the half-way mark.

(I get bored in the stretches between frantic running. :( And there's no time limit if you do the knee-crawling method.)

[thingswithwings]

ahahaha omg. thanks amy, now I've just lost half an hour of my life to this stupid game. after about twenty minutes, I turned to eruthros and said, "do you ever get the feeling that the aliens are looking down on you at precisely the wrong time?"

on the other hand, I got to 38.6 metres! I achieved this mostly through a combined skipping/high kick method.
