In this clip from Giant Bomb, three experienced video game players try, and in a prolonged and constant state fail, to get off the ground in hardcore flight sim A-10C Warthog.
Not that anyone here will be making fun of them for that. If you’ve ever played one of these games or watched the above video, you’d know they actually do OK to eventually get it flying after around 40 minutes.
I mean, with three of them, they cut down on some time. If that was me by myself, I’d be there a good 3-4 days just looking for the tape deck.
