No half-assed performance: how playing with a live crowd turns video games into performance art

OMG you guys I just watched this insane video of a game where 70 people played it together in a theatre and it was like NOTHING I've ever seen before 🤯 the controller is literally placed on a plinth and anyone can get up and play it, it's so cool! but at the same time I can see how some ppl might be worried about it, especially with those content warnings 😳 anyway I think it's amazing that they did this and showed us that video games can be more than just a solo experience, we can make them into this whole collective thing 🤝 it's like Asses.Masses is saying "hey let's work together and have some fun" 🎉 and honestly who wouldn't want to do that? 😊
 
"Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." 💭🎮 The way Asses.Masses has turned a solo game into a collective performance art experience is pure genius! 👏 I love how the controller gets shared among players, making everyone feel part of something special. It's not just about playing a game anymore; it's about bonding with others and creating memories together 🤩. This new way of gaming is all about embracing the crowd and having fun! 🎉
 
I mean, I'm not saying it's a total bust 🤔, but this Asses.Masses thing is just a bit too weird for me 😂. I get what the creators are trying to do, using crowd dynamics to create a more communal gaming experience, but it feels like they're playing with fire 🔥 - I mean, have you seen the game's content warnings? 🚨 Some people might get really upset about the whole reincarnation and labor thing... But hey, if it works for 70 people in Glasgow, that's cool, I guess 😐. It just makes me wonder what other weird gaming experiences are out there waiting to be discovered 🎮👀
 
I'm loving this whole concept of playing a video game in front of a live audience! It's like, the boundaries between player and spectator just melt away, you know? 🤯 And I think it's so cool that the creators of Asses.Masses are pushing the limits of what we can do with interactive games. The way the controller is placed on a plinth for everyone to take turns playing is genius! 💡 It's all about collaboration and teamwork, which I think is super refreshing in today's gaming scene. And let's be real, who doesn't love laughing and having fun with strangers? 😂 This whole thing just feels like a celebration of community and shared experience... can't wait to see what other creators come up with! 🎉
 
I just watched this insane thing where 70 people played a game about donkeys in front of a live audience 🤯. The game is called Asses.Masses and it's like nothing I've ever seen before - basically, the controller is set up to be shared among everyone in the room, so anyone can take control at any time! It's wild how they designed it as a collective experience from the start.

I mean, think about it... when you play a game solo, it's all about your own progress and achievements. But this? This is like we're all in it together 🤝. You gotta work with the crowd to answer questions in different languages, navigate surreal challenges, and even help the donkeys reclaim their jobs from farm machines. It's hilarious, actually - there were moments where I was laughing so hard I almost fell off my seat 😂.

Of course, some people got all upset about it, saying it's too weird or that it might be bad for kids 🤔. But honestly? I think it's a game-changer. If we can create experiences like this in the gaming world, where players are actively involved and working together... who knows what other amazing things could happen?

For me, it just goes to show how versatile video games can be when they're designed with collaboration and community in mind 🌐. We should totally see more of these kinds of events - live streams, board game meetups, all that jazz 🎮. It's the future of gaming, right?
