>> Joe: Today on SourceFed. >> Elliott: The Real World and Video Games
Collide. >> Joe: And it’s kind of awesome.
[music] >> Joe: Night falls and darkness blankets
the small community of Katy, Texas. >> Elliott: And as the wind whistles through
the willows like the hushed tones of an ocarina, a man by the name of Eugene Thompson verbally
spars with his girlfriend. >> Joe: Who happened to be formally married
to another man. An estranged husband who happened to only be a phone call away.
>> Elliott: She dialed her ex up and he came galloping to save the day like a majestic
Epona streaking over the barren fields of Hyrule.
>> Joe: The ex-lover entered the house and Eugene Thompson retreated to his bedroom like
it possessed an enchanted treasure chest containing the one and only Master Sword. Because he
totally had the one and only Master Sword. >> Elliott and Joe:……. Replica.
>> Elliott: Doesn’t matter, it was still pointy. AND AN EPIC BATTLE ENSUED! Allow Eugene
to regale you with a resounding retelling of the bloody battle.
>> Joe: "I heard him heading to the bedroom where I was, so I jumped in the closet and
I grabbed one of my replica swords, and I pulled it out and stood at the doorway, and
he was coming down the hallway at me while I was yelling, 'Go away, you don't live here'
and he just walked right into the point of the sword, I don't know if he thought it was
a toy," >> Elliott: Epic. Just like the unforgettable
climax of the Wind Waker. Now, get this, after receiving to Master Sword wounds to the leg
and chest, the ex struggles with Eugene for the Master Sword and resorts to...wait for
it… smashing a flower pot on Eugenes head! >> Joe: Master Sword and pot smashing. We’re
a hook shot away from a Nintendo lawsuit. Eventually, police arrived and Eugene went
to the hospital for flower pot gashes to his head and the Dark Link is in serious condition.
Because… this is real life and swords really hurt people. [music]
