We've seen people playing video games in the most unexpected places, from bathroom set-ups to people renting out a movie theater to play on a huge screen. Our favorites, though, are those who have used huge white facades to project their games.
The protagonist of this story has not surpassed those who use huge screens or facades to play, but his method is certainly very original. He has decided that his balcony is the best place to play Elden Ring and that the sidewalk in front of his street in San Francisco is the ideal screen.

I've gone back to Diablo IV with the idea of trying new things and I've ended up doing exactly the same thing as always
“I passed by a man who was playing Elden Ring “on the sidewalk in San Francisco. This is the last vestige of art and culture left in this city!!!” says Andrew Michaan on Twitter. The post has an accompanying video in which we see exactly what he describes: a game of FromSoftware's game projected onto the sidewalk.

The best part is that this story doesn't end here. Michaan says that the next night he was still playing from his balcony and this time they talked. It turns out that he has a Twitch channel: MortimerFathoms. It turns out that he has been using his projector for some time to play Elden Ring and Dark Souls on the sidewalk in front of his house. The strange thing is that not many people stop to watch him, although I'm sure that many of us would sit down to watch the game.
