L.A.R.P.ing

I was watching ComicCon report the other day when I heard the word LARPING. Being an inquisitive type and having no idea what it was I hit the internet and found the definition: Live Action Role Playing. Ok... Dungeons and Dragons in 3D. Not one to leave well enough alone I went to YouTube to see if there was anything posted on LARPing. Would that I hadn't....

Wait for the wizard to enter from the right.

Then there's a variation: Live Avatar Role Playing

There was a LARPing clip on Tosh.0 and he had the guy on for one of his 'web redemptions'. It was funny.

Maybe its just me but I have never seen anything in role playing. I think it is a total waste of time. Heck, if I am going to shoot someone I want to be using real ammo.

I don't find anything odd there, and I'm IJAFH as opposed to IAWOL.

Matt, I prefer this Red Fang video:
