  Unreal...
So hypnosis is pretty neat. You get to have people acting like fools on stage and then not remember it, kind of like a twisted parlor trick. However, it looks like hypnosis has been taking up a notch, so to speak.

Guy hypnotized and dropped into real-life zombie shooter. Seriously.

Hypnotist makes game. Guy plays game, shooting zombies, having some fun. Game sends guy into trance with flashes of light. Hypnotist moves in, picks Guy up, and puts him down into a set built exactly like the one in the game. Guy is given gun, and wakes up with nobody around. Actors playing zombies start attacking.

Guy freaks the fuck out. If this is fake, it's quite well done. First he tries to run, then he starts threatening the zombies (to no reaction; they're zombies!), then he starts shooting. Now Guy had friends with him that just dumbly play along with the whole thing. They were probably having a similar reaction to mine: this stuff does not happen. This is just too bizarre.

Yet, it does, assuming the video's real, and it's just nuts. I highly recommend watching it--throws the whole concept of the way games are played and why right on its ear.
