game-related lolz of some fashion

never heard of this Breaking Madden thing, but it's great!

Man someone should put together a glitch superbowl, I would definitely watch that.

awesome

lol that last gif

OMG, the half-Bronco, half-Seahawk abomination fetus!

The games themselves are suspiciously well-contested. Those who grew up in the 1980s and '90s remember when every other Super Bowl was a categorical whoopin'. Over the last decade, every Super Bowl has been fairly close, and most have remained in doubt until the very end. That is fun, but so is a popsicle. Nothing is more grimy or provocative than a whoopin'.

That is fun, but so is a popsicle.

what does this mean

I showed a friend this yesterday and we proceeded to play through uninterrupted for about 5 1/2 hours straight, beating the game once and getting about 1/4 way through finding all the secret ties. It is amazing and you will constantly be laughing at the ridiculous situations the octopus gets in. You play as an octopus who somehow has a human family, and the controls are QWOP-style awkwardness that is really difficult to get the hang of at first, but once you do it is really amazing what you can do as an octopus. Probably the most surreal and absurd game I've ever played!

The writing in it is wonderful too. It has a nice amount of heart and (very light) cynicism, plenty of humor, and a great story arc.

The reviews have been sort of mild, cos it does have a steep learning curve wrt controls. But most of the fun is watching this octopus in a tuxedo utterly destroying human environments while people around you just stop and stare and try and figure out what the hell is going on.

Ha, that does look really charming, especially as Octodad reminds me of Prof. Zoidberg. Love the idea of just crashing around into stuff, flailing tentacles all over the place.

that minecraft thing is so horrifying/good

that vid is indeed awkward but like... when's the last time you saw that many people talk abt videogames for 8 minutes without any trace of malice/sarcasm/hate? kind of endearing :)

"How many of you have autism, and has it helped you in your modding career?"

Yeah but c'mon, an autistic kid would a) really want to hear a positive answer to that question and b) be less likely to realise it wasn't really an ok thing to ask in public. Give 'em a break.

lol @ FlappyMMO

find a fool and knead it

It's mad he's getting so mad. He's playing a dance game with his fingers! He gets a 500+ move combo before the first rage attack. Love the resigned tone in his voice at the end like "look at all these holes in my house... I should maybe not play this..."

He should monetise that video and he might make enough to replace the monitor and buy some wall filler...

I watched them trying to use CUT for about 15 minutes on Saturday. It was hypnotic. No idea how they managed to get as far as they have

Over thirty thousand people all trying to control the same video game character. That's your Cronenberg movie right there.

mesmerizing

lollll at the chat window, the blurts of people struggling to assert the correct course of action, the anguished proposals that we all just stay calm and work together

DOWN AND RIGHT BUT MOSTLY DOWN
we need to get through that one square hole in the maze
WE MUST USE THE WALL TO GUIDE US

i hope this gets logged and made into a book

That reminds me of that 'team building' exercise 'Helium Sticks'.

it's like a cross between a glitching defective game, a lunatic asylum, and a disaster movie, every fifteenth commenter thinks they're gene hackman in 'the poseidon adventure' when they're actually samuel l. jackson in 'deep blue sea'

well put

omg they're still in that same maze

Haha, yeah, this has been doing my head in. Truly a work of art.

They just had a plebiscite (apparently now a rolling permanent plebiscite?) on 'anarchy' (what we've been watching) vs 'democracy' (new system). Democracy won, so this may get a lot more boring, except for the possibility of watching frustrated competent voters up against nefarious saboteur spammers.

How far did they get in the game befor the plebiscite

The winning move would have been to keep it running and wait to see if enough attention died off so that a core group of devotees could control the game enough to advance

No clue, I've never played Pokemon so I can't tell! I expect that once they get past something particularly damning like this maze, the popular will to maintain "democracy" will collapse and anarchy will reign once more.

Winning move would've been to launch a separate instance of the game with the democracy version and run it in tandem with the anarchy version
