QWOP
-
My six-year-old asked me how we walk and as I was trying to tell him a literal simple explanation of how our brain tells our muscles to move and lift our leg etc. he lifts his knee and as soon as I see his pose it hits me like HEY there's a game that is about exactly this. QWOP!
Ah ladies and gentleman, take a trip down memory lane to the absurdity and inanity of trying to get your able-bodied runner down the track in his quest for the 100m. My personal best is... 3.7m and I consider that a feat! Ah this game is the best of the Internet.
My six-year-old
Goddamn, we're getting old aren't we? 🥲

I loved this one. His next one was called GIRP and I played it so much I started speedrunning it, back before twitch was a thing
Wait... GIRP is finishable?! I assumed it was infinitely generated because I'm terrible at it and didn't get anywhere near the end! Aw I might play it at lunch tomorrow

I, for one, embrace that I am no longer hip nor cool. Feels great.

I just now noticed the person in the back controlling him with the keyboard! Hahaha!

Foddy's most recent game, Baby Steps, is getting good reviews. I've not played it myself, but it's a 3D game in the same genre; you're a very unfit basement-dwelling 30-something who gets teleported (in your onesie) to the wilderness, and you're trying to manage your balance as you make your way to a mountain.
Just watched a trailer for it. Might have to grab it. Looks like he teamed up with the Ape Out devs?? Nice.

Games Done Quick has a QWOP mini game that pops up between runs where chat controls the runner by typing their desired commands!
Amazing. All of Games Done Quick is so impressive to me. How in the world do people figure out things like if you just propel yourself into this very specific part of a wall you get flung to the last level of the castle??

Yup right at 50m lol
Yeah, right when you get a rhythm and think you have things figured out... WHAM! Hurfle in the chest/shin/kneecap ohgodwhyamiupsidedown Game Over!

Yes it sure is! There is an asshole bird that tries to mess you up, and the last few handholds are a challenge, but there is a prize at the end

There's much more to GDQ than that, for the record! Of course it's all about going fast, yes, but there are categories that don't allow glitches, 100% runs that even with glitches showcase a lot of the game, and on the main events they have been including more and more showcase runs. My favourite this past AGDQ was the Super Mario 64 70 Star, 70 Person relay.

I'm now older than both my parents were when I was born. The complaining about the lack of grandchildren has already started.
Is not in is it? Society won't let me stay up and play Xbox until midnight anymore, I'm expected to go to work in the morning.

99% sure this person is cosplaying as QWOP
100%. There's even another person in the background cosplaying as the QWOP player.
