Battle of the Boxes
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 01. 2018
- Ready for combat? Grab some cardboard, tape and hot glue for a battle of epic proportions. Welcome to Boxwars, the bizarre medieval-inspired sport that’s given adults the chance to play. Participants get together to create a full range of battle gear using nothing but reclaimed cardboard and packing supplies. Originally devised by a small group of friends over drinks, Boxwars has grown to become a global phenomenon, with teams across Europe, Australia, the United States and Japan.

"I'm Ross, I'm one of the supreme overlords of Box Wars"
Slap THAT crap on your resume
Imagine that interview LMAO. Like-
Hi, I'm Ross, my skills are *insert valuable life skills*
Interviewer: I see,well, do you have any past experience as a leader?
Ross: yes, I am a supreme overlord in box wars.
*Edit: corrected sometime extremely important

"if you're in a box war you've already lost" kind of sounds like real war
just imagine if we could solve international conflict like this
@@npc6817 you cant stop wars and conflicts its in peoles heads by evolution for so many years and people by nature are solving problems by violence.
@@kubajcz dude, if I had the peaceful solution to war I wouldn't be here wasting time on a youtube video about adults playing with cardboard
@@npc6817 true
Point is, if you’re the one risking your life and watching people die, that feels like losing.
You know there's that one person who refuses to "die" and everyone hates them for it
Nobody dies they just genuinely beat the ever living shit out of one another whike dressed in cool looking cardboard for fun
When i play with my friends and we have lives when my friend dies they just rfuse and make a excuse😂
I use to play a role playing game with my friends and there were 3 classes Warrior, berserker, and archer and we knew that some kids would do this so we took out archer and replaced with assassin and implemented health and to damage you had to touch the other player. Warrior had shield, berserker had insane damage and really slow speed, and assassin had the lowest damage at killing someone in 10 hits but they could attack really fast, had a single use high damage with poison that dealt 1 damage a seconds for 3 seconds to everything but a shield range attack that they had to retrieve and could turn invisible when holding a x across their chest but when they attack someone they can’t use the x for 5 seconds
Tactical Elite someone is gunna say didn’t ask to you soon

“How cruel! they’re using our corpes for entertainment!”

I know its painful to watch your amazing creation getting destroyed but it looks so fun
Awesome but sad to see all that beautiful work trashed. Hope they at least recycle the carnage afterwards.
The vast majority of cardboardin general is made out of recycled paper by default, it's simply cheaper than buying fresh paper.
Alexander Vyn What? It's cardboard made from paper. It can be recycled to paper or into new cardboard to be used in battle.
Alexander Vyn It's their time and labor, their creations. They do whatever the fuck they want with it. Like, holy shit.
I think he was talking about the actual pieces themselves
