Title: Twitch Plays Pokemon: The Greatest Clusterfuck Of Our Time
Post by: Captain Jack Harkness on February 19, 2014, 02:11:12 am
So through a system of chat and a bot playing an emulator (taking input from chat),  Pokemon Red is seeing one of the most "interesting" playthroughs ever.  As of this posting, it's been just over 6 days since this started.  Amazingly, they were around 4 badges and had managed to defeat Giovanni from the game corner last I heard.

They were probably going to be trapped in the game corner forever had the creator not intervened and introduced the "Anarchy/Democracy" system.

This is too funny, how the hell did they manage to get any badges at all? I'm watching them enter and re-enter a house several times.

What are they going to do in the Safari Zone when they have a limited number of steps?

Apparently (and this is from what I understand happened), force democracy and take a tedious walkthrough.

I heard the creator of the emulator removed the step limit so there's that.

I heard he was planning to, but apparently they kept it.  Honestly anything that motivates enough people to use democracy is pretty fucking cool, seeing as how that never happens normally.

Well holy shit, they actually beat the game. Not only that, but they managed to catch Zapdos as well. How they managed that, I'll never know.

They're referring to him as John the Zaptist.  The Poketrinity is The Almighty Helix, Bird Jesus and John the Zaptist, and it amuses me greatly.

Any anarchy gameplay succeeding would have been proof of the "infinite monkeys with infinite typewriters" quote.

The real test would be something that's not turn-based. Personally, I'd like to see if they can beat the original Legend of Zelda.

That quote refers specifically to a (sufficiently large) truly random string of input. Twitch input, though erratic and suffering from very high latency, was nowhere near random.

That, indeed, would be something.

I think it's already a pretty good simulation of the US congress.

Right, that's the point.  It would be like putting a Portable Hole into a Bag of Holding.  I want to watch the universe tear open.

EDIT:  Wait a minute, they beat Red.  Congress isn't effective enough to do that.

McConnell: Senator Reid, we must evolve Eevee to Flareon, or we have no Fire Type for the Grass Gym.

Harry Reid: We have Pidgeot, remember? We need a Water Type for Blaine later.

Gohmert: Can we catch a Ponyta? I want a Ponyta!

It would have gone better if someone hadn't made everyone stop while he made a filibuster reading his 38,000 word pokemon slashfic.

I think Gohmert is more of a Mr. Mime kind of guy.

Neither one makes any sense, and they even look a little alike.

Twitch plays LSD Dream Emulator. I'm not sure if that would tone down the baseline insanity of the mob or raise it to a fever pitch.

They've finished Crystal and have moved on to Emerald.
