Twitch Plays Pokemon

[Vulcan422]

For those who don't know, someone from Australia had the brilliant idea to use an IRC bot to insert commands from a chat and register them as button inputs for a game of Pokemon Red.

It quickly turned into a social experiment, and an allegory for the dichotomy of anarchy and democracy.

As I type this, we are almost done with Gen 1 (currently at the Elite Four), but the creator has said that a Gen 2 run is confirmed.

Also I wonder how hilarious it would be to see "Twitch plays Castlevania".

Damnit donutman! You beat me to posting a meme, arrgh!

Yeah man TPP is pretty rad, I was waiting for someone to post a thread about this. I cant believe it took a whole two weeks.

People seem to be exceeding better than they did in the begining, its interesting how they have developed tactics just to get the inputs to register correctly.
