Mega64 achieves ironic genius via Assassin's Creed

Mega64 is a street theater group that re-enacts video games in public places, making them "embarrassingly real." Those re-enactments are recorded on video and displayed on the internet. Previously, the troupe has acted out Hitman, Resident Evil 4, and Ico, among others. One of their videos even guest starred Shigeru Miyamoto! Their latest is based on Assassin's Creed, and it's one of their best yet. We've it embedded here for your viewing pleasure.

This one is particularly brilliant. In the game, Altair performs all these actions in order to keep a low profile. In fact, that's the whole shtick of the game -- blending in. Apparently, though, the activities don't work so well in the real world! If we'd seen this man at our local market, we'd have immediately yelled "Assassin!" in a bad Arabic accent!
