There’s a new world record, and it’s been set by a couple of “good ol’ boys” from Gull Lake, Manitoba, Canada. Glennish and Danwell Le’Twinn have successfully created a video game one-half mile in diameter. With the aid of a laser, the pair burned C++ codes onto the surface of a frozen lakebed. Using a small, decoding laser attached to a jacket, a person can skate clockwise over the ice and play the video game as the laser reads the code and renders it to a DS or PSP. The duo are flush with the success of their creation, appearing in local newspapers such as the Chronicles du’Beausejour, and personal appearances at bars, taverns, inns, lounges, nightclubs, honky tonks, juke joints, pubs, saloons, speakeasies, and bingo halls. There is no fee to play this humongous game, but the Le’Twinns recommend getting to the lake before the thaw, or before they sober up and realize what they’ve done. “We’re not brothers,” Danwell offers, “But we’re probably cousins, cause our last names are so similar. Glennish is more of the brains of the technical side, but my license isn’t suspended, so I can do the beer runs and drive the tractor on the ice to clear the snow.” “I’m not really sure how we came up with this idea, but I’m sure alcohol was involved,” Danwell admits. “That’s what it said on the police report anyway.” “An actual video game disk rotates at 5,400 RPM, but a skater will achieve only a fraction of that speed,” Glennish reveals. “Originally, Danwell suggested using an airplane to fly above the lakebed. I yelled at him for such a preposterous idea, and suggested a rocket ship instead. When we couldn’t find one in the phone book, we opted for skating. It’s slower, but we’re thinking of opening a hotdog stand to generate some revenue. Like Danwell always says, ‘Beer isn’t free, and leaves don’t grow on trees.'” One of the lake’s residents says he doesn’t understand what all the fuss is about. He doesn’t understand it at all. In fact, it was apparent he didn’t understand English, despite being fluent in it. The actual game is similar to Pac-Man, so similar that it looks and plays identically to Pac-Man. It’s even called Pac-Man. When asked if some copyright or license infringement was possibly being breached, Danwell said it was unlikely they would get busted for selling hotdogs and declined any further comment as he claimed he had an important meeting at the dump with a weasel trapper. *This is presented as CheatCC’s weekly “Are You Stupid Enough to Believe It” news story.* |
