Twisted Metal + Carfire = Augmented Reality?
Posted March 15, 2006 at 7:37 am by Spamalot
I have a long commute to and from work everyday, and thanks to carpooling with my wife, I can get some PSP QT every now and then. Yesterday, while playing Twisted Metal: Head On I saw a pillar of black smoke rising from the opposite side of the highway. I know what you’re thinking… No, it wasn’t the Others from Lost.
It was something much worse. A ridiculous car fire had broken out on the opposite side of the highway. Although it was sort of under control, the fire was still dangerously catching on the nearby dry brush, making for a very nervous spammy.
The funny thing, and the point of this entire post– is that at the moment I saw the car fire, I had just gotten blown up by axel in Twisted Metal.
I sort of had a weird, augmented reality / Lost Moment. Did I cause the car fire by blowing up cars in Twisted Metal? Every time I blow up a car in Twisted Metal, does it happen somewhere in real life?
I’m, of course, joking. In fact, 9 out of 10 things you read on this site are a total joke… But you knew that already, didn’t you.

I did NOT know that. I love all of you.

First of all, Spammy is a n00b for getting pwnd by Axel.
Secondly, I have heard reports of while intense handheld gaming, it IS possible to effect the real world around you with unintentional ESP. Which would make Spammy entirely responsible for that fire.

The way I died was pathetic too, I had like no life left, and I was running from axel, desperately looking for health, i got skeered and fell into some water, which killed me.
The game respawned my exploded car… right next to the full health powerup.
