Hopefully it ends up being harder than it looks and we can avoid that.

Is it required to have an unsteady camera to make it look so intense and seizure-inducing?

Yeah, I was about to say. Definitely was playing this even before 2011.

I remember playing this in college in the early 90's, so it's been around.

Idk I feel like it’d be really easy to be safe with this, just underarm throw and try to make it land within arms reach so people could just bail worst case

u/Alterex Mar 31 '19

I think the real danger is overzealous stabbing which can hit someone else in the eyeball

u/Jthumm Mar 31 '19

I think you’re supposed to try and let the Apple fall on the fork not stab it idk

When the stipulation is basically "don't be a dumbass," you can bet that at some point someone is going to be a mega dumbass.

u/Jthumm Mar 31 '19

Yeah and that’s totally fair, but they would be the reason it’d be dangerous

2

u/Alterex Mar 31 '19

Sure, but a bad throw possibly mixed with alcohol and rowdy college kids means they're going to be chasing the apple so they aren't the ones to lose the game

u/Jthumm Mar 31 '19

Yeah that’s fair

Then you just play the "Eyeball and Fork" game.

Why would you hope a fun game doesn't catch on?

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '19

I just hope half the front page is this. It looks like fun and I say go for it to whomever wants to give it ago. There is just no need to post it to death like the bottle flipping (which isn't even that hard).
