A good reason why you shouldn't leave the sofa

POOR guy - stuck in a New York lift for 40 hours, when that night, in 1999, he was probably on his way home to fire up the latest PC FPS release, System Shock 2.

Working for the man, and wanting to bring down the system in a sci-fi setting, it was the system that turned against this bloke in real life when the lift he took back to his office after a ciggy break failed and refused to open.

The movie is a timelapse of the 40 hours he was stuck in the lift, and quite entertaining - although it did seem a bit eerie that no one noticed the lift had failed.


Watch for the erratic sleeping.

Had it been three years later, in 2002 - the same year Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell was released on Xbox - I'm tipping he would have had some elite Sam Fisher style skills to break out of the lift.
