It’s a masterfully executed prank on a couple of levels

Photo: Bethesda Game Studios All week long, video-game fans have been captivated by Awesome Games Done Quick, an annual charity gaming marathon in which players try to complete games as quickly as possible. This is known as “speedrunning.

I’m explaining all of this in order to give some context to a very funny prank that runner BloodThunder pulled off during his playthrough of BioShock late last night. But then it got weirder. “Wait,” he said. The screen cut to black, then faded up on the opening scene of the hit game Skyrim. In the scene, the player character wakes up and another character, named Ralof, says, “Hey, you. You’re finally awake.” Then BloodThunder’s screen cut back to BioShock and the run proceeded as usual.

. The blue-screen aspect is a jolt, and its significance is easy for anyone to grasp. You can hear the crowd in the hall groaning in unison.
