Anybody else watching this?
Twitch
Basically, somebody wrote a emulator program to take text from the Twitch chat and turn it into input commands for the game (a, b, up, down, left, right, select, start). There are currently 90,000 viewers, so as you might imagine, it is pretty hectic. Accomplishing even the most simple of tasks is amazing, due to the fact that not everybody agrees what the goal should be... The large number of people that are just straight up trolling are making things difficult as well.
This is beautiful in an incredibly stupid and entertaining way. It's like the internet is becoming collectively self-aware through Twitch chat, and it turns out the internet is an idiot.
