A TikTok posted by user \u2018messickblake\u2019 on April 26 has done rounds on the internet, going viral and amassing millions of views so far. In the 23-second-long video, two men can be seen sitting in the back of a pickup truck driving on the highway \u2014 alongside what appears to be an 18-wheeler truck. With a projector pointing at the side of the truck, one of the men with a keyboard and mouse on his lap, appeared to be playing a game of Fortnite. \u201cYou got him, you got him, you got him,\u201d one of the men can be heard repeating, as just one opponent remained in the lobby, who was ultimately taken down \u2014 giving them the victory royale. It\u2019s fair to say the internet went back and forth debating whether or not the video was real, or if it was actually just a video playing on the projector. \u201cIs this real?\u201d one user challenged. \u201cI have so many questions!\u201d wrote another. Many were quick to note the implications of playing on the highway, such as how they had electricity or a solid internet connection to be able to play. \u201cThere\u2019s no Wi-Fi, they could not play,\u201d said one. \u201cThe internet connection is better then mine,\u201d another joked. However, as it turns out, the TikTok is actually fake. In a YouTube video uploaded on April 28, the original poster Blake Messick explained exactly why and how they pulled it off. The creator had a laptop hooked up to the projector, which was playing a pre-recorded video \u2014 explaining the stunt was to promote a dynamic QR code, which he could use to sell to advertisers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortnite player goes viral \u2018winning\u2019 game on moving truck and the internet is split A Fortnite player has gone viral after \u201cwinning\u201d a game while on the back of a moving truck, and the internet is split as to whether or not it\u2019s real.
