Primetime follows Mystery and Neil Strauss through the process of a workshop. Transforming men from afc’s (average frustrated chumps) to pua’s (pick-up artists).
In this clip, Derren claims to have created a video game he calls “Waking Dead” which “is able to put roughly 1/3 of the people who play it into a catatonic trance”. In this episode he places the video game in a pub, to lure a supposedly unsuspecting patron into playing the game. He then “kidnaps” the catatonic “victim” and places him in a real-life recreation of the video game, having him fire an air gun at actors, pretending to be zombies and outfitted with explosive squibs.
