How To Disrupt A College Lecture Hall
While I started working here only a month ago, what you see above is technically my Game Informer debut in the October 2003 issue. I flew up here from Kansas City when I was 18 to shoot an in-store advertisement, and my friend and I stumbled upon this shark suit at the Mall of America. Naturally, we had to buy it and run around GI's offices like a couple of high school morons. Wait...how did I get this job again?
Anyways, the suit got its share of use throughout my college years, with the most memorable being our attacks on the university's biggest lecture hall. We'd get prepared in the bathroom, then time the attack perfectly, sprinting through the room mid-lecture. He was generally being chased by someone (in this video, a wizard and a scientist) or chasing something (typically a guy in a giant cheeseburger suit). My favorite moment involved us sprinting through the classroom and then being chased by TA's. The shark and the cheeseburger had to hide in the elevator for an awkward 30 minutes before they felt safe enough to leave.
Below are a few occasions that we caught on tape. There's some major shaky-cam stuff going on considering that we had to keep it hidden, plus we were cracking up while holding the camera.You'll notice a grey-haired teacher in the second attack, and we hit his class so much that he started barricading the doors with tables while he would do his lectures.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
