Ferris Bueller | 495 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) I'm hosting an online contest to see who can hold the most Nintendo game paks at one time. The winner will receive a customized trophy and some Internet points. Rules 1. The games must be in a stack. 2. One hand only. 3. You must flip them upside down, hold for eight seconds. 4. Submissions must be video, no photographs. Submissions Attempts can be shared @FerrisonNA via Twitter. Entry ends April 26th at 11:59PM. Game on. #ClawCompetition https://vimeo.com/christiandeitering/clawcompetition Edited April 27, 2020 by Ferris Bueller The Internet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,761 Administrator · Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 The rules don't state that you can't tape a bunch of games together and hold them by the tape. So the question is: how lenient are you on people following the rules but not doing it quite how you intended in your head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should check out the show Taskmaster on Youtube (they put older seasons up on there, the show itself is a few seasons ahead of what's on YT). It's basically my favorite thing to watch right now, and the idea is similar to what you have here. Some sort of video game themed Taskmaster would be the tits.

Flip it up side down like you're at a Dary Queen drive through and you just ordered a Blizzard. Hold it for eight seconds because that's how long you have to ride a steer at the rodeo for your score to qualify. Have you tried, yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Pac | 7,513 Graphics Team · Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 @Ferris Bueller are you the Dragon Warrior guy? Because if you are, I expect you to make a submission with all DW carts... -CasualCart 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also don't stand that they must be NES cartridges, even though that's what you see in the video. There's a lot to work with here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Bueller | 495 Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) I'll make some announcements later, but I believe the first thing we'll be doing is making a second trophy and splitting up into Mens and Womens categories due to Title IX. 2 hours ago, CasualCart said: @Ferris Bueller are you the Dragon Warrior guy?

docile tapeworm | 4,194 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 so does rule #1 mean i have to have a stack of tender tapes thats more than the amount i can pick up with one hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,895 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Ok, I suck at this but I think just holding a bunch, but most hold upside-down. Should count. Why? Cause someone with killer balls hands could pinch, say, 8-10 carts and possibly wrap there pinky and pointers around to pinch 2-3 more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhleo | 2,184 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I managed to do 10 in a single stack. Not sure how that guy on Twitter did a "double stack" like that using only one hand. Are we allowed to use our other hand to "start it off" or do we have to pick up the entire stack single handedly without any assistance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can maintain it longer if I pick it up with the carts standing sideways....but I feel carts laying end to end isn’t a “stack” anymore and is cheating. I can almost do 11 for 8 seconds if I use my second hand to comfortably set them in my hand. Edited April 7, 2020 by ThePhleo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it's a fun diversion, though I have smaller hands and can only hold about 6-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
