Cops: Man playing real-life 'Frogger' hit by SUV (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/12/29/cops-man-playing-real-life-frogger-hit-suv/)
A man has been hospitalized after police in South Carolina say he was hit by an SUV while playing a real-life version of the video game "Frogger."
Authorities said the 23-year-old man was taken to a hospital in Anderson after he was struck at around 9 p.m. Monday.
In the "Frogger" arcade game, players move frogs through traffic on a busy road and through a hazard-filled river. Before he was hit, police say the man had been discussing the game with his friends.
Chief Jimmy Dixon says the man yelled "go" and darted into oncoming traffic in the four-lane highway.
No charges are expected against the driver. The name of the man who was struck has not been released. He was in stable condition Monday night.

just think, what if the guy actually got hit by a careless driver and his friends just made up that bogus story? :cheers:

Yeah, my friends used to do this. I just walked through an abandoned underpass I found one year and met my friends on the other side.
In L.V.(?) there was a hackers convention where a guy hacked up his Roomba to race across downtown traffic ala Frogger while him and his buddies had an overhead view of the action from their hotel room. Alas, the Roomba is no more. :'(

So I'm guessing he has two lives left? What's his current score?
-
If he successfully crossed the freeway, was he still going to cross a river and jump in a hole with a fly in it?

Nobody got video? :(
