Two complete strangers planned out an elaborate 3-year prank on a 19-year-old guy that would change his life forever. In August of 2003, Kolin Pope - known as Velocity Gnome on the Internet - got a knock at his door. It was a man from the future named Zane Figiam who handed him a scrapbook that foretold that Kolin would one day become to savior of all mankind and the leader of the Resistance army that would go on to fight against an evil robot army that would eventually conquer the world. Little did Kolin know that this was just the beginning of a three year long prank/performance art experiment/augmented reality game that is basically the greatest thing that's ever happened in the world. On this episode of Deep Cuts, we dive into the delightful event that is the Velocity Gnome saga.
