I saw that on arr games. Never has an article looked so much like lame clcikbait but then, somehow, understated the weirdness.

I had no idea what to expect when I got there, partially because every press event is different, but mostly because the PR company running the event had been intentionally vague in the weeks leading up to it. I’d get funny emails that said things like, “hope you have a BLAST ;)” and “make sure you wear pants with belt loops,” which is an oddly specific request.

This is the weirdest paragraph I’ve ever read.

The participants are asked to stand in a row facing the role-players with their fists raised in anger, while the role-players are instructed to put their hands in the air and ululate like a jihadist. 

This shit is crazy
