Kinda like this, but more painful.
Look, I’m as big a video game nerd as the next one, but even I know that it’s a bad idea to try and recreate a video game in real-life:
CLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson police said a game ended up with a 23-year-old man struck by an SUV.
Emergency crews were called to the intersection of Highway 123 and College Avenue at about 9 p.m. Monday.
[...] Investigators said they later determined that the man and his friends were talking about playing a game known as “Frogger.”
[...] Police said before he was hit, the 23-year-old yelled “go” and darted into oncoming traffic where he was struck by a 2010 Lexus SUV.
There’s a reason Frogger is just a video game and not an organized sport and it’s nothing to do with the fact that you play a frog. This potential Darwin Award winner managed to luck out, however, and wasn’t killed by the SUV.
Though one would hope it knocked a little sense into him.
So if I am hearing you correctly…All the time I spend on GTA is for naught. Wow ! This is a real awakening !
I’m actually disappointed he got hit as soon as he ran into the road.
Should’ve gotten a few practice games in first.
Yeah, I’m live near Clemson/am a student there. When I heard this the other day I laughed, he shoulda gotten further than that! It’s crazy seeing all my favorite news/blogs talking about something that happened pretty much in my backyard!
I live* not I’m live. (blast, no edit button lol)
At least he got hit by a _quality_ SUV.
So what’s his score?
No idea, but does the SUV driver only get 1 point for the pedestrian or does he get bonus ones because they hit an idiot?
It truly saddens me that people this stupid are allowed to breathe my air.
