Where the Hell is Matt? The videogame edition

Robbo sez, "The viral video phenomenon of 'Where The Hell Is Matt?' - dancing around the globe - has now extended itself into the world(s) of gaming - with hilarious results. I especially loved what the characters do in Second Life." This is totally, absolutely awesome.

This is fun — I've seen previous versions of this taking place all in one MMO/virtual world (incl. Second Life), but not such a varied group of games. Solitaire wasn't expected, but after Space Invaders, I should've seen that coming. Helps they left the shadows in as-appropriate and made it feel like there was depth to their quasi-greenscreenery. Also nice to see the redesigned WeGame player.

Matt's a really nice guy, I danced with him!

I am getting SecurityErrors: Error#2123 and two x Error#2122 with this one, when the BoingBoing homepage loads and when this page loads. All 3 are Security sandbox violations. Is this likely to mean anything? Does BB want the details?

In parallel news, Pandemic Studios, for whom the original Matt Harding used to work was just closed down by EA. :(

@6 I think they just let them go so they are no longer part of EA. Oh and it was only the Australian studio, the other Pandemic studios are still making average games.

Pam, I've sent a "look at this" message to the mods about your security info.

Ha...I love "Where The Hell is Matt?" and even though I'm not a gamer, I have to admit this was a pretty good spoof. :)

Assassin's Creed was the best because the assassin (i forgot his name) is just so excited to be there.
