F*cking Lightning King!

2006 | performance, interactive mini-site
F*cking Lightning King! The classic Nintendo video game MarioKart 64 was played everyday by all 5 residents of 36 Kitson Road during 2004-2006. The winning player fluctuated greatly so a yearly tournament was created to identify that year's overall champion. A set of rules and drinking forfeits were introduced to make the game more nerve racking (if you keep losing, you'll do more shots, get more drunk, play worse and lose more!).
