We've all found ourselves strange new hobbies during the pandemic lockdowns, haven't we? Some of us have picked up crochet or gardening, while others have gotten really into making miniatures and spending way too much on Pokémon plushes.
This guy — Karl Schecht, or "Kommander Karl" on social media — got really into reloading things as if they were weapons in a first-person shooter.
Schecht is also a video game environment artist, currently working at California-based studio Free Range Games. But when he's not making lush 3D environments, he's loading toast into a toaster (and, apparently, breaking it).
Maybe it's time we all start injecting a little more FPS into our lives. Staplers and batteries will never be so boring again.

Is it bad I immediately thought Doom upon seeing the toaster?
The caulk one had me dying
Fantastic. This is what the internet was designed for 😂
Bravo!
It's spot on:)
Freaking hysterical, I thought.
That was AWESOME! xD
Alright... I wasn't expecting much, but he won me over. This is pretty good internet
He forgot that loading a stapler is like a belt fed.
Definitely wins the internet
That was hilarious.
I use caulking guns every day, now I have to load it that way.
The weirdest thing is, there is actually something funny on Twitter.
I think this guy's working on a game that uses random items like this to use as weapons. It's either this or he's helping in making a game with these types of reloads... Really cool concept for a party shooter if ya ask me
That is so cool! I love reloading in FPS games I usually hit the reload button every 4-5 shots
@Zuljaras oops, used a bullet. Better replace the entire clip.
lol, better than I expected
Used to work in a videogame store. The used psp games we got made me wonder if that's how their previous owners switched them out.
@Shambo clumsily and slowly.
I liked the baby toy.
I clicked this expecting bait, but this genuinely made my day.
@Shambo I'm sure I've never seen anything half as bad as whatever horror stories you might have, but man, the PSP's UMD discs sure were a design nightmare, weren't they? Whoever thought cramming a high-speed spinning disc drive into a handheld system, outfitting the disc-cartridges with wide-open windows that dirt or anything else could fall into, and closing the whole thing up with a low-resistance pop latch that you could practically knock open with a light tap was a good idea... really shouldn't be making those sorts of decisions.
(Though if you told me that they also stayed on the team long enough to mandate that the system's successor had to use a proprietary and expensive memory card format that invariably suffered from fatal read-write wear degradation after a few years, I'd believe you.)
I now have faith in society again.
That was pretty funny
Wow this is pretty cool!
The lamp reload got a quick laugh out of me. 😁
The motions and sound effects really sell it!
I’m happy so many others were charmed by this like I was. I was expecting a comment section full of snark.

Critization isn't allowed here
He got a big fat Follow from me. That is some of the best ‘demic stuff I’ve seen 😂
Hahaha, this is hilarious. Awesome
This is so stupid, but great at the same time lol.
@Fath Well, it might be a good sign that there's no third portable Playstation...
I had and initially enjoyed both, but I rather just have a Switch than having two platforms that have issues and COULD HAVE BEEN perfect when the good was combined and the bad left out. Sometimes less choice is actually better.
I don't easily get offended, but the state in which people thought they could trade their umd's in, was often almost a personal declaration of war, a threat of violence and a slap in the face telling you you look stupid enough to pay them for something clearly broken. Or at least it seemed as if they had been through one already, and if at all, barely survived it. There was a umd hospital in the back of the store where we tried emergency care for some of them. When I close my eyes in the evening, I can still hear the screaming of scratched umd's spinning against something, the cracking of their exoskeletons breaking apart, as images of umd trays popping open mid-testing flash before me, as if I'm still there, in the midst of the insanity, but it feels as if I never really was.
The horror...
The horror...
War never changes...
or was it
War has changed...
What were we talking about? Oh right, the Sony PTSD.
@Eel I used to love playing light gun classics like Virtua Cop or House of the Dead where there was no reload animation so you could use a controller and just smash the fire and reload buttons as fast as humanly possible as if it were a Mario Party minigame. The best was when you got a shotgun and were able to fire it so fast that it basically became what we called a "shotgun laser". I think this guy needs to figure out how to make a toaster laser video now.
WOW. That was awesome. at first I had a hard time believing that this was in real life!!
Hi! It’s kommander karl here! Thank you so much for the article
