Here is a description from Wikipedia:
In June 2005, a clip from the second series was widely circulated on the internet. In this clip, Brown claims to have created a video game he calls "Waking Dead" which "is able to put roughly 1/3 of the people who play it into a catatonic trance". In this episode, he places the video game in a pub to lure a supposedly unsuspecting patron into playing the game. He then "kidnaps" the catatonic "victim" and places him in a real-life recreation of the video game, having him fire an air gun at actors, pretending to be zombies and outfitted with explosive squibs.
- csmeder 17y agoIs this real? That would be called kid napping in the US, right? This must be staged?
- metachris 17y agoThat video is really crazy -- and quite fun to watch! I'm just not really sure if something like that is ok to do to a random person -- might cause a serious trauma...
- blhack 17y agois it really even possible to do something like that?
- eagleal 17y agoIf the person suffers from some form of epilepsy, could drop in a state of unconsciousness. From there should be easy to just recreate a similar environment to the previous one (if you find yourself, in a credible place full of zombies, with a gun, you will shoot, instinct). Video games, offer a good immersion in the story, if played long enough (think of the current military training). Though, the people in the video linked are just actors (and bad ones). Considered the complexity of organization, I was disappointed in the end: just touch the actor head with his hands, and the actor 'magically' (instantly) calm down, and return to the previous state.
