Welcome to the Replay Couch, where we kick back and watch the best, and worst, of recorded video game history. Each week we'll be offering up a compilation of compelling captures from the world of insane speed-runs, chance kills, competitive moments, and hilarious happenings from the past and present.

This week, with their permission, we highlight one of the few machinima groups worth following: Lit Fuse Films. Visit their website. Also be sure to check out last week's edition of Replay Couch for more crazy digital stunts and creative stupidity. And now, on with the show.
