Real life Mirror's Edge might make you feel dizzy photo

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.

Jesus Christ man, just strap the camera to a helmet! You're gonna trip carrying it around like that.

I'm jealous of those dice skills.

Oh, and the free running was pretty awesome too.

this was as impressive as hell.

also, i guess its a good testament to how well Dice captured the feeling of free-running from a first person perspective.

0:55-0:58 That jump from the cement wall to the lamppost looked exactly like an in-game jump onto a pipe.

That was pretty sweet, but I sort of wish he had found a way to mount a camera on his head instead of just carrying it.

The way he was holding the camera makes it all the more impressive.
