My entire childhood

SensibleMadness · 13 days

Mine was similar, except for the part where my brother and I would try to push each other in and the winner would laugh as the loser died a horrible fiery death.

EDIT: spelling

These Kids are absolute morons.

I mean, if floor is lava, and i think it's pretty fucking clear here that floor is in fact lava, then why have they not strategically tossed any couch cushions on the ground as stepping stones toward the kitchen?

Do they think they're not ever going to need water?

How Did Greenshirt end up on the floor in the first place? He thought he could clear the gap from lazy boy peak to the sofa kingdom?

You don't make that jump over lava without first making sure you can clear it.

And Why is redshirt leaning so far over the edge?

doesn't he know monster hand has the right to pull anything hanging even an inch off the side of a couch or carpet?

Sorry, these kids deserve to melt to death, the world is better off without their shoddy thought processes mucking it up.

This is a funny comic, but I absolutely hate when people spell "DAFUQ." It annoys me to no end.

You know, lava and quicksand didn't turn out to be the big problem I always thought they would be.

deejayillen · 13 days

Only the dark colored tiles at the grocery store were safe...so many lost children

the use of "dafuq" is an instant downvote

We had a black and white checkered floor in the basement. The trick was to race across the room without stepping on whichever color we deemed "deadly".

Those must be some shitty parents if they think that is something strange.

d12anoel · 13 days

Reminded me of this: http://imgur.com/ruBel Funny thing is I still did this in college while avoiding different colored tiles and cracks (don't want to break my mama's back), maybe that's why no one talked to me.

Lava sharks. Nuff said.

Popovio · 13 days

This reminds me of when me and my little sister would re-enact Lion King when we were kids. I would be clinging to the top of the carpeted stairs and she would be Scar and let me, Mufasa, plunge to my death while I slid down the stairs screaming "NOOOOOOO". Pretty sure my parents had the same reaction too.

My floor wasn't lava, it was an endless pit that had all kinds of worms in it. Damn worms, still afraid to touch them...

longhairedthrowawaya · 13 days

Omfg used to do this shit all the time. Except me and my brother were huge davey crockett fans and i would be an indian and he would be davey crockett.

God nostalgia....

I made and wear this King of the Lava shirt whenever I am around my older brother. I even make sure my 7 year old daughter refers to me as King of the Lava whenever we are all in a room together. I'm 42.

We had mac n cheese lava because we were obsessed with kraft mac n cheese!

The best childhood game ever. We used to move furniture all around the basement and play this.

Every other tile is lava!

moondoor · 13 days

Variations on that theme from memory:

Fiery pit, lava pit, molten metal, chemical bath, poisonous swamp, open space, open sea, falling from 30 000 ft.

Now it's just a place where I pass out when I'm drunk or exhausted from work.

Childhood? Fuck I can't touch the floor outside my cubicle due to the fucking lava.

bentheo · 13 days

I don't know how it came about, but the way my older brother and I had a system of who could turn the floors into lava and other stuff.

I could turn the carpet in our shared bedroom to lava.
He could turn the stairs to our room into a waterfall
He could turn our parents bedroom floor into a pit
Once a week one of us could turn the carpet in the whole house to molten cheese. Whoever used it first got it.

We still do the molten cheese things when we go to visit my parents, though as they've slowly had work done on their house there is less and less carpet. We are ages 29 and 31.

What is it about "hot lava"? I thought I made that shit up. I brought my 4 and 5 year old sons to the park last summer and heard some kinds talking about not stepping in the hot lava and was like "where did you learn my game?"

iamnos · 13 days

I have two boys, a 4 & 6 year old. There are couch cushions and other "stepping stones" regularly thrown across the floor as they try to make it around the room without stepping in the lava.

ChrisGarrett · 13 days

The carpet lava was bad, but man K-mart was the worse. They had red tiles were were lava, and blue tiles which were ice and slippery! (They made you more 1 extra tile) sometimes the ice WAS NEXT TO THE LAVA. We had no chance.

My brother and I are nerds. As kids, we would ask each other who will win in a fight with match various fictional characters, discussing in detail why wolverine can kill cyclops and vice versa.

our parents don't know wtf we were talking about.

My parents bought their house in the mid-70s and decorated it Spanish style. By the early 80s they had redecorated most of the house but left the red carpet in the bedroom I shared with my brother. My hours of fire/lava floor were had in that room.

corndogsbeer · 13 days

When I saw that my sis was coming out to the backyard, I would launch off the swingset onto the lawn and play dead, like I had a broken neck and my eyes were rolled back. God, those were the days!

luckytaurus · 13 days

jal0001 · 13 days

The irony here is the parents using the phrase "Dafuq" while questioning the habits of their kids.

n_reineke · 13 days

What do you think is the earliest example of little kids playing "hot lava"? Pompeii comes to mind.

Bookwyrm76 · 13 days

I don't have kids of my own, but if I saw my brother's/cousin's/friend's kids doing this, I think I'd have to join in. I haven't played *The Floor Is Lava in waaay too long.

TheOthin · 13 days

Ahh, a fun game. I'd cite distant memories, but I don't even need to! My (12th grade) physics class periodically revives it, half to screw with the teacher, half because it's just so fun standing on tables in the middle of class.

custron · 13 days

I played this as a kid and now that I have children: there's no cutoff age to play "the floor is lava" or build pillow forts

RichSnitch · 13 days

It's strange how we all had this kind of game when we were kids, what great imaginations. Then again, dragons are depicted all around the world in various forms where cultures never met each other. Maybe the lava WAS real!

Flaminsane · 13 days

Ew. XBLA Minecraft.

WObuSHI · 13 days

I invented this game, or that's what I thought until I was, like, 20. In all fairness to myself, I had a lava-red carpet in my bedroom. I also didn't ever speak to my peers, apparently.

lulzIrony · 13 days

"Scar! Brother! Help me!" That scene was reenacted by my brother and I too many times to count while playing this game.

This reminds me of playing outside with my cousin when we were little. We had all these wacky modded toy guns we had found over the years. Briefcases, little fake bombs and shit. We'd stay out there for hours just waging wars around the backyard. Now, I imagine mine and his parents watching, thinking, "Well, okay then."

contrastillrules · 13 days

I'm pretty sure this game counts as undeniable proof of a collective unconscious. We may not be aware of it, but damn it all if every one of us doesn't remember playing this game...

gandalfthebrownclown · 13 days

Some neighbor kids where I lived routinely screamed, "Legolas! Noooooo!!!" It took a lot not to go outside and say, "Listen. He didn't die. Yell Boromir instead."

My pretend games of choice growing up were: pretend A-Team, pretend BSG and pretend V. And when those got boring, pretend (Blue Thunder, Airwolf, Knight Rider, Street Hawk, Automan). Why? They shoot and shoot and shoot but nobody eeever dies. Pretend death is too short an improv for long pretend afternoons.

TL:DR - Lava?! Psh. Amateur night at the ol' pretend factory I guess...

oshball · 13 days
