How could you not laugh your ass off during this experience? You really have to hold out for its death...

The dragon's name was Malakai. Of course.

If any of you ever encounter a real dragon, remove all the post-it notes.

Poor, tragically obese dragon. So fat it can't even move. All it can do is spit at people.

Oh how I wish I could happen upon this clearing with a couple of fully loaded paintball guns

3.....2.....1.....spike

as if the addition of Metallica is going to lend any legitimacy to what's going on... Well, there's a surprising lack of fat in the crowd at least.

Bonus star for the car zooming by at 1:00

Damn it, Philadelphia....

I don't remember "line of jissom" being a breath attack from the monster manual. Maybe this is one of those crazy new 4th edition things.

There seemed to be a number of Larpers seeking shelter behind the dragon at any given time.

Uh. Wait. Time out guys. I spilled water on the arm swinging electric motor and...oh geez...anyone have a fire extinguisher?!?

They're attacking the Macy's Thanksgiving parade

Ever since Anthrocon left Philly we've been looking for something to meet our "ridiculousness" quota

LARPing - when you need to let off stress by destroying something, but you can't play sports or fight.

The website lists a special Asperger's Outreach program. Surprise, surprise.

Harvester of sorrow indeed.

It looks like a big black chicken. a big black chicken with downs

This is just honestly hilarious. I can't imagine how hard I'd laugh had I been there and seen all of this go on personally.

Instant 5 for LARP.

3M stock plummeted after this video was released.

What a useless dragon. Seriously, what's preventing anyone from crawling up its back from the very beginning?

And THAT'S why it deserves all five of my stars.

Dear Shaggy: Please die in a grease fire. Even I could design a better crap dragon.

1 million fucking stars

"So son, did you have fun at the park?"
"Yeah dad, it was awesome. We totally fought a dragon. For a while I was maimed and then I forged an alliance with my fellow soldiers and then Jimmy had to go to the hospital because we didn't think about how the smoke machine would affect him but his mom says he should be okay in a few days...hey do you think my costume looks okay? I might need more scales for next week's battle."
"Um...you know they're having baseball tryouts next week."
"Dad please, that's so lame."

Ghastly. I give it five stars.

So do they have the battle choreographed out beforehand or do they actually try to fight with the nerf sticks? That dragon seemed to be at quite a disadvantage, plus it looked like people were cheating and getting back up. You could really see the determination in the guy with the shield while he was blocking the "fire". So much going in here, its fucking fantastic.

1:36 and 2:28 a girl runs up, touches the dragon, squeels, runs off.

Trashbagodor! Lounger of pastures! Squirter of virgins!

Gypsy really let herself go after MST3K... :(

I can see only two possibilities with these things. Either these are the most honest guys in town, or there's a lot of playground-style arguments. "I hit you!" "No you didn't." "I did, there on your leg." "Oh well I have mithril armor there so it doesn't count."

I guess it's good these people are getting some physical exercise and are outside. Look at the positive.

are those horses in the background part of the festivities, or just a very confused riding class?

You know, I could probably swallow enough of my pride to actually do this.

Not because I'm big into toadstickers or Victorian bullshit, but because I want to run around with a gigantic boffer-sword whacking shit while some Cleric guy with a foam-dagger and Role Playing Magical Healing Powers keeps me from getting my legs and arms "Hacked Off" while I smack things and people. WHEE!!

All I see is a bunch of hippies beating up a big duck with teeth.

Wow, why does America have to ruin fun stuff ?

That's some shit kit right there ~_~


... er ... not that I'd know >_>

been like 4 months since I saw this, just clicked it again and still couldn't stop laughing

Kinda looks like fun! When I get back to the States, I'm gonna join a LARP group (I'm from Jersey, so there will be tons) and fuck all the nerd girls. I will be an Ork, and if anyone fucks with me it will be wedgie time.

*cringe*

This is the only reason they leave the darkness and safety of buildings.

Yup. What that video needed was thirty seconds of credits.

If you really wanna be a harvester of sorrow, I suspect all you'd need to do is type "LARP" into YouTube search.

The garbage bag is trying to take a violent shit before being attacked by dopes.

Needs more lightning bolt.

Do they get experience for the guys who suffocated?

Imagine if all the nervous energy in this video could be harnessed for good.
