LARPing Skyrim

Video sends up Skyrim by playing the open-world RPG in real life.

As with any popular property, Skyrim has received its fair share of mockery and parody, from the endless Fus Ro Dah videos (Gary Bigham's "Pro-Larping" videos before [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip7QZPw04Ks], and he didn't disappoint by putting on a horned helm made out of tin foil and venturing out to slay dragons, climb the thousand step, and get rid of that stupid guy who works for Belethor at the general goods store.


There's some obligatory references - you might see an arrow or two - but overall Bigham's video is a pretty spot on parody of Skyrim. I love his off-the-cuff delivery, even if the nerd lisp gets a little old. I could watch him fiddle with a small red handkerchief all day long trying to mesmerize attacking bandits - "Illusion!"

Now, if only real LARPing was this amusing.

Thanks for the tip, Andrew and [user]chainsawfists[/user].

It's missing:
"If you have the aptitude, you should join the College of Winterhold."
"I'm the fucking Arch-Mage."

"Climbing the 7000 steps to high Hrothgar...it's a bunch of BULLCRAP. Can't you just meet me half way??"
"NOOOOO!"

I laughed out loud at that point.

This was awesome. I love this guy.

"No, guys, I can't fight a dragon and a dragon priest at the same time! ... FUS RO DAH! *gets pelted by red fabric*" I laughed. Not gonna lie.

Heh. Already saw this on account of being subbed to him, but I loved it. The guy's also done LARP videos of Monopoly, Minecraft, and Saw, each one quite silly.

This is amazing! The end was great, breathed new life into an old meme... Makes me want to play a round of Skyrim!

I didn't have high expectations, but that was amazing. One of the best Skyrim related things I've seen since the last Miracle of Sound.

He missed out on the killer buckets of Skyrim. Never turn your back on the buckets.

Companion: "I work for BELETHOR." *slays dragon priest with stick*.

I should try that next time I encounter a dragon priest.

Yay he made a NPC dialogue joke without anything to do with an arrow and a knee... Oh great I had to watch all of it didn't I? Well I think that receives the reward for the fastest meme to wear out. It was still funny.

Obligatory "lightning bolt" reference, obligatory post padding to avoid a warning, obligatory Spoony reference.

I guess it takes a certain kind, but I thought this was really funny. The illusionist part really cracked me up.
