Sure it’s easy to cosplay these days but it’s one thing to dress up as your favorite game character and entirely something else when you play the game acting out all of the actions. And what better place to do that then in public on your favorite arcade game? That’s what this gamer in Thailand has done with Sega’s GHOST Squad. He’s memorized everything about it and participates in every action possible as though he was rezzed into the game – taking cover, kicking down the door, reloading, talking on the comm, swaying around after an explosion, etc. It’s quite a sight to behold and there’s 13 minutes of it to watch as he escapes reality for that time and makes playing the game an augmented reality experience for himself while entertaining the world in the process. I wonder what his reaction will be to Operation G.H.O.S.T. when that reaches Thailand?

All I wanna know is how many games of Operation GHOST is it gonna take for him to do the same for THAT game? 😛
At the arcade when I was working, I once saw a guy playing Sega Rally 2 who was wearing a full driver suit, helmet included. I think I still have a picture somewhere.
Dude is *hardcore* 🙂
