If you couldn't tell, I have a thing for real life videogame parodies. Youtuber azoazotube is a Free Runner who decided to perform some stunts and tricks all while holding onto a camera. The tricks aren't anything over the top, but it's still pretty neat seeing him in action. It feels just like the videogame!
My favorite part is when he jumps off the bike, runs next to the bike as it's still moving and then hops right back on. azoazotube also shows off the super secret dice stacking and the "jump into pants" mini-games that are hidden in Mirror's Edge*.
And just like the actually game, I feel really dizzy after watching this parody. Check out the video after the jump.

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.
