John Boiles’ work getting Garry’s Mod to recognise Microsoft’s Kinect isn’t the most impressive video of its ilk we’ve seen. It is, however, the most entertaining.

This is the story of one hipster-doofus, loose on the streets of Tokyo in an attempt to prove his worth as a Street Fighter IV player. And it’s more enjoyable than I just made it sound. Why? Because as a video it’s so easy on the eyes. It also takes in some of the city’s…
