I don't know why I find this so interesting.
An open source site started playing pokemon red. The catch is, they let anyone in chat play along by typing in instructions in chat. So, for example, if you type in "Right," the game will press the 'right' button. If you type "Left," the game presses the 'left' button. It's just resulted in some really bizarre behavior. The pokemon all have strange names like "AATTVVV" and "AA-j" and "aaabaaajss." They get through long mazes just to have their pokemon use a move that takes them to the very beginning again. Walking around ledges and through certain mazes is a nightmare. Random items are used over and over again. And going to the PC is terrifying because it's resulted in so many pokemon being deposited and/or released.
And that doesn't even get into the fan-created mythos that's been created for the game. It seems Helix Fossil has become their god, with Bird-Jesus as the savior. Eevee is the false prophet and a servant of the Dome Fossil (Dome Fossil is the devil). Yeah, it's kinda become a religion simulator.
I don't entirely get why I find it so funny, I just do.
