The title sounds kind of bad, but he made it out with just a scratch and bruise (amazingly). The game links to the video of it.

It's an HTML5 game, so it's cross platform (play on your phone if you'd like)

The game plays well enough, but the subject material seems rather insensitive ("lol game over, oh you're pretty much invincible"). Does Nick approve?

I sent him a message on Facebook before I started it but never got a response (I imagine he's pretty overwhelmed right now). I chose to move forward with it because it's just going with the whole idea that he's pretty awesome for taking a hit like that and being fine.

I'm sure it was a very scary moment for him and his family, but I hope this lighter take on things helps a bit. However, should he want me to take it down, I'll respect that decision.

He approves, I'm a good friend of nick's and he thought it was hilarious. I think he even liked the link on the foam sword friday facebook event page.
