Yoga Deathmatch February 27, 2005
I’ve just finished making a video about the similarities between the ancient Hindu art of spiritual discipline and the rather more modern art of online gaming. Watch the higher self rack up high scores getting to the next level of consciousness in the transcendentally physical world of Half-Life 2: Deathmatch! It’s a little over four minutes and change, keep reading for the download links and screenshots.
Direct downloads are here:

Otherwise, If you’re linking here, please link to this page or yogadeathmatch.com and not directly to the videos (though linking just to the torrents is OK). Thanks!
