Wasn't sure where to post this but wow....just wow...

Apparently by using the chat in twitch you and about a thousand other people play the same game of Pokemon Red at the same time.  Its been spreading like wildfire.  Surprisingly the game has caught 14 pokemans and obtain 4 badges since last I checked on it.

imgur has been flooded with fan art about this game.

I find it strangely fascinating! I've only watched bits and pieces of it, but it's an interesting concept, and I think it's impressive that they've managed to accomplish as much as they have, considering how chaotic this mess is.

My friends are fairly obsessed with it.

LTK:
Yesterday I witnessed the stream run away from Snorlax. The schadenfreude is delicious.

Here's the documenting of progress.

Okay, so I finally understand today's XKCD now. I watched a bit of it. In about five minutes they managed to walk about twenty blocks in the Safari Zone. I don't know about you, but this seems incredibly slow to watch.  :psyduck:

LeeC:
because they are in the safari zone, yes.  Consider the fact that it has taken 8 days to get 4 or 5 badge with around 55 thousand players.  I find that amazing.  :psyduck:
